THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THIS BOOK GO TO THE ROYAL AIR FORCE BENEVOLENT FUND

“Firstly, you can blame it all on Biggles. You remember him, the eponymous hero of such literary gems as Biggles of the Camel Squadron, Biggles Flies West, Biggles and The Plane That Disappeared and Biggles Flies Undone.”
So begins the memoirs of Dafydd (also known at various times as Dave, Toby and ‘You! Airman!’) Manton.
Joining the RAF in 1972 and becoming a “Penguin” (a flightless bird), he embarked on a career of radios and Morse code, monitoring Her Majesty’s enemies behind the Iron Curtain.
His career spanned the 70’s and 80’s, right in the middle of the Cold War against the USSR.
These tales of life in the RAF during that period range from the comic to the absurd and have to be read to understand what it was like to have been a “Cold War Penguin”.
