I have spent a few years researching the fascinating story of one ordinary man’s extraordinary life, from his humble beginnings in rural North Wales to his wartime adventures in the RAF and his eventual death as a homeless down and out.

He had been the rear gunner in a Lancaster bomber which was shot down in a Lancaster bomber on his way back to England after a raid on the Rhur industrial complexes. The other six members of his crew all died. He managed with the help of local patriots to return to Britain via France, Spain and Gibraltar, a risky journey that took him two months to complete.

I have now almost completed writing this all up, and am looking for a publisher. I will be including extracts here from time to time.
