It’s the centenary of the formation of the Royal Air Force
I suppose it was inevitable that I would grow up with a lifelong interest in the RAF and aircraft because my father was a fighter pilot in the service at the end of the Second World War although he was too young to see action.
Many years later, I married the daughter of a famous Czech night intruder pilot of the Second World War and wrote his biography entitled “Night Hawk”.
