Produktbeschreibung
In a departure from his usual genre of aviation history, the author has produced a whistlestop narrative of a life less ordinary. Encompassing a rural upbringing experienced amongst a largely now-vanished way of life, his chaotic and carefree adolescence and over three decades in Her Majesty's Prison Service. The graphic at times perhaps controversial, but in being completely honest about his personal experiences both in the Service and his private life John has given us a snapshot of not only Furness industries long vanished but also of an undervalued and at times almost invisible Prison Service. What makes this book so engaging is the self-deprecating and humorous manner in which his story is presented, a must-read for those curious for a glimpse into the prison system and of interest to anyone who remembers the old industries of the Furness area.

Autorenporträt
John wrote his first book "Oh Mother, it's a Lovely Place" in 2009. A history of RAF Millom and their mountain rescue achievements, and in doing so preserved the story at that airfield and the wonderful men and women who served there for posterity. Since then, a second book 'Wings Over Sands' a history of RAF Cark No1 S.P.T.U and RAF Grange-over-Sands No.1 E.O.T.S. has been published and become a local best-seller. Book number 3, a history of RAF Walney 10 A.G.S., was launched to great reception at the end of February 2014... In Summer 2014 it was shortlisted at the Lakeland Book of the Year Awards.
