The Platypus Papers
Model: PLATYPUSPAP
For over forty years the
pages of Sailplane and
Gliding magazine have
been enlivened by the
adventures and observations
of the gliding
world’s favourite amphibian,
Platypus – aka Mike
Bird. Now over 50 years
of gliding anecdotes are
encapsulated in this
entertaining and highly
irreverent anthology of
observations, tall stories,
recollections and legendary close shaves. Irresistible,
unputdownable and in many places laugh-out-loud
funny, this is the perfect read for those who glide
and those who wonder about these strange people!
“In the whole canon of aviation humour, this book is
a classic” Bob Rodwell, Pilot magazine
