A Pilot Trying to Get home For Christmas The Shepherd

Wed Dec 18, 2013 8:47 am

For me this is one of the best radio shows ever nothing on television or the movies comes close! If you haven't heard it before it's certainly worth the time. Best to grab a glass of Glennfiddich or pour a cuppa tea, relax for a wee bit.This is one you will remember have a very Merry Christmas!

Wow - what a story! I had not known of this before, and it is great that it is still being replayed each Christmas Eve. Thanks K225 for both links. I plan to share this with a number of flying friends and my family. Happy Christmas to all and fly safe.

I bought and read the novel years ago. A classic.

I heard this on the radio last year on a PBS station one night around this time of year. It’s really good, even though it’s just a modern take on the ancient ‘ghost ship’ story long told by sailors.
