I was born in Portsmouth, Royal Naval & Marine Maternity Hospital 1st October 1938. We moved to Hayes, Middlesex in 1940 and then to Bletchley Park, where my father, mother and brother worked during WWII in 1940 through until 1950 with my twin sisters and older brother, then we moved to the Plough Inn at Simpson, Near Bletchley.

In 1950 I attended the Royal Hospital School; Holbrook which before it moved there in 1932 it was the Royal Palace at Greenwich donated by the then King William and Queen Mary to be converted into an Institution for Relief and Support of Seamen.

I left in 1955 and joined the Royal Navy until 1960, as a Voice Radio & RADAR Operator Served on various ships and shore stations in England, Mediterranean and the Far East as RADAR Operator & Plotter, communications ship/aircraft and on Coast Watching Duties in the Far East.

In 1959 on July the 25th, I married Doreen Sarah Charnock and lived in Leighton Buzzard until 1983. My beautiful Sally died 27th November 2012.

In 1990 we moved to South Africa where I had a contract with SAB, when that finished we stayed on for the next 23 years working on various contract work.

In 2013 I moved back to England as I did not like living alone without my Sally in South Africa, now I am retired and continue to write.
