"Running for Home" Autobiography

"Running for Home" autobiography. It's a book about growing up, fear and tenacity and how I overcame my fears late in life.

Adventures begin almost immediately in life with an amazing stay in Singapore. Later as a deck boy in the Merchant Navy with no health a safety whilst traveling around the worlds Oceans I get into all sorts of stuff.

Later still I go in for being a Psychiatric Nurse and see firsthand just what it was like in a Victorian style mental institution.

Feeling the need for more adventure and biting off more than I could chew, I join the Royal Navy and become a Radio Operator, then an Aircrewman in helicopters with all its associated dangers. After this I became a Military Policeman and yet I could still not settle.
(I was a missile aimer in the type of helicopter below)


I was pensioned off from the Royal Navy and lived in Malta for two years with my wife. Not able to work, we struggled to survive.

Finally I find my calling as a window cleaner in Durham but it works out fine and I now have a lot of friends in the industry. "Running for Home" autobiography Take a copy and enter into a world where growing up in the 1950's was a whole different ball game to what it is today.
