With that in mind, my eternal thanks go to Mandy Mills, Pauline Swallow and all my friends for their ceaseless moral and emotional support. Thanks to Robert Kirby, Kate Walsh and all at United Agents. Thanks to Jon Elek, James Horobin, Jennifer Edgecombe and everybody on the team at Welbeck and Headline. And thank you to Ben Aaronovitch, Rowland White, Mike Sutton, Trevor Paglen, Jim Risher and James Heer for vital technical back-up and research materials (any errors in this book are either artistic licence or mine to shoulder!)
Lastly, thanks also to Biggin Hill Airport, Business Jet Traveller, Embraer, Flight Frames Aviation, Flightstore, Guardian Jet, The Intercept, Privaira, Private Jet Coach, Skybridge Space, SkyService, South and Down Under, and Textron Aviation for their invaluable resources.
