Engaging story of an adventurous, determined, aviation-minded lad with a seemingly insatiable urge to travel. David Taylor was Scarborough born, Norton raised, now living in York. Wartime schooldays, Air Training Corps cadet, RAF Boy Entrant to full time RAF service, a majority of it featuring overseas travel. Exciting enough in itself, but then followed a long period in Offshore oil exploration. Naturally, such diverse pursuits almost guaranteed one a life of adventure, and of the ceaseless world travel to which this book relates. A nostalgic, tongue-in-cheek story of 50's/60's service life, and of the big wide world which lay in wait beyond. A far different world to that which we have since created for ourselves; the good and the bad.
