Extract
Philippe Heuzé: A life in the night - The Richmond AffairONE DAY YOU WILL KNOW!
— Mayday, Mayday, the pilot shouts into the VHF…
The Mystère 20 loses altitude, it is suddenly in free fall, the Highlands are getting dangerously close, the pilot is terrified and helpless in the face of the situation.

Without knowing what the reason is, I know that my end is near, I get rid of this belt which immobilizes me in the bottom of the leather seat, I do not hear the cries of fear of Claude, of his wife and the crew. With dignity, I prepare to die, I revisit my life one last time in the white corridor which precedes this imminent and violent death, I slide towards the cockpit of the company jet and I manage to grab the microphone of the radio of edge.

My last thoughts, my last words will be for my Marco, before this terrible shock and this dead silence preceded by the din of the explosion in the heart of the dramatic landscape of Glencoe.
