Sea Skimmer

A British Top Gun.

This book is based on the author’s own experience of flying his Lynx helicopter from HMS Andromeda in 1982 and many other true stories from the Falklands War that have never been told before. It is the first of a ten-book series charting the career of Jon Hunt from Lieutenant to Commodore during the turbulent end of the twentieth century.

Royal Navy Lynx helicopter pilot Lieutenant Jon Hunt is thrust into the maelstrom of the Falklands War. He is ordered to fly a secret mission into Argentina to contact a French engineer to convince him to sabotage Argentina’s deadly Exocet missiles.

As the war hots up, Argentina desperately tries to make their missiles more effective and the British try just as desperately to develop countermeasures. Meanwhile, Jon Hunt discovers what it’s really like to fly in combat.

Eventually, the French engineer and his Argentinian girlfriend find themselves in the Islands just as the British are closing in. In appalling weather, Jon undertakes a rescue attempt which culminates in a desperate encounter in the mountains surrounding Port Stanley just as the final fight for the Islands takes place around them.
