From his viewpoint from the CAFU operations centre Jim Fuller was well placed to write this history of CAFU. This does not detract from the amount of sheer hard work needed to find and re-assemble all the available information and collate it into a readable and accurate account some 16 years after the final demise of CAFU, 21 years after the move to Teesside of flight calibration and 26 years after the start of the break-up of the various functions of the unit when Flight Crew Licensing moved to the SRG at Gatwick.

When Jim started to assemble the information required for this work he was not sure that the effort would result in a worthwhile end product and was careful not to raise hopes by committing himself to the word 'book'. But, over a period of some years, Jim assembled the available documents, information and photographs. Much of this information was undated or came from memories that were dimming with time.

The end product though is easy to read, it is a must for the bookshelf or bedside table of all those who were involved with CAFU and a reference source for those that are interested in the history of civil aviation since WW2.
