"One press of a button should have saved 48 lives on the Sir Galahad troop ship. But Tony McNally's missile failed, and set him on a catastrophic course that 25 years on still make everyday a living hell...I concentrated on the lead jet. As it came on target, my sergeant screamed: 'Engage.' I pressed the fire button with my left-hand index-finger. "
"The attack came and went in the blink of an eye. The lead Sky Hawk's two bombs - 250 kg each - hit the Galahad and exploded. The second pilot missed, but the third struck home, adding to the inferno that was engulfing the ship.I was just 19 back then. Eager for the adventure my home town of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, couldn't provide, at 16 I signed up for the Army."

The local newspaper hasn't printed it because they couldn't compete with the fat fee McNally negotiated with the Daily Mail.
Your wrong Mr Anon I did not get any fee from the Daily Mail just advertising my book was sufficient. I have told the Evening Mail not to publish my photograph as I am in dispute with them.
rogue gunner; Well Tony that's it I am banning anon comments from now on , I have had trouble in the past with them , if they want to hide behind anon they can do it somewhere else!
