In this enjoyable and entertaining memoir, George Edwards looks back on his eventful RAF career as a fireman during the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
George joined the RAF as a teenager in 1965 and the book follows his progress from naive sprog to experienced airman and senior NCO, relating his experiences at a wide variety of RAF bases in the UK and abroad, including Marham, Honington, Masirah, Mombasa, Church Fenton, Sharjah, Lindholme, Brize Norton, Gutersloh, Laarbruch, St Athan, Coningsby, Stanmore Park and RAF Stanley in the Falkland Islands.
George's candid and enthusiastic descriptions of his on and off duty escapades when he was young, free and single and enjoyed an energetic social life and an equally enthusiastic love life are guaranteed to amuse and entertain readers of all ages, whilst his descriptions of life in the RAF are certain to bring back many memories for those who also served during this period.
The final chapters follow George's post RAF career as a probation officer and Air Cadet Squadron Commander in his native Liverpool - which resulted in his being awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) in later life.
