Living a slightly 'unconventional childhood' whilst dreaming of flight, a boyish ambition to fly is realised. The stories are happy, sad, surprising and exciting just as life is. Life can be stranger than fiction and coincidence or chance reigns supreme. It covers a life time of flight from childhood to middle age. Building model aircraft as a child to gaining a pilot's licence and flying home built aircraft. It later touches on working for an airline as a steward and motorcycling from Cornwall to Heathrow. A short romantic thread completes the strange spectrum of life.
