I had not realised the school you went to was so important and that the officers had a batman to do the duties, and these guys weren’t allowed to escape.
Read it recently. Surprised by the old school tie mentality too. Douglas Bader came across as a right bastard.

Alan63 - Bader did not come across very well. After I finished it I was sorting some books out and found a book from a charity shop I have never read, or even recall buying. It was by and about the 'Prominente' Romilly and Alexander. Working my way through it now, struggling a bit with the style but will finish it.

If you want it when I am done dm me your address and I will put it in the post - along with the elastic bands holding it together!

Since my last update, I've knocked off both of these, which I thought were excellent and inspiring: I then started to read Disaster Capitalism by Antony Loewenstein, but have had to put it down. I'm now knee deep in: I wont lie, there have been more than a few tears in the last week.
There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.

I also have Jenny Graham’s book on the go on my Kindle. I am enjoying it but I hadn’t realised just how quick she was moving. The first 7,200km in about 23kph moving speed.

Starting on Jenny Tough’s book, Solo :-bd

Heard her on the bikes or death podcast (thanks escape goatee for mentioning about this podcast) and thought she was vaguely exciting. Couldn’t wait for that episode could finish so I could start on her book
