As a very young boy in the Second World War the seeds were sown to
fly in the blue sky. Terry made up his young mind with great
determination to reach for that sky in a 'Spitfire'. He joined the
RAF as a pilot but twists of fate caused him to become a nuclear
bomber pilot. It was RAF policy not to change from that complicated
role to another and yet he pushed for change; became an instructor
and as a display pilot he made his final move to the single seat
air defence Lightning. He instructed on the Lightning and commanded
two squadrons. Terry's original dream came true and he reached the
pinnacle of his ambition but it was complicated in a way that he
had not envisaged. There were dangerous incidents, the loss of
friends, the 31 moves of his family and the politics associated
with senior rank. At the outset he had not understood the demands
of a Cold War or the need for him to sail the major oceans of the
world with a sea-going admiral and become his intelligence officer.
The eventual compensation was a promotion and a two year tour on a
tropical island with his family.
