So if you want to know how a handful of blokes took the war to the enemy when it was more or less all we could do until D-Day, in the West at least, this book will thrill and entertain but sadly it was not for me, sorry John.

As shown from the beginning, he opens the narrative out to explore what Bomber Command's bloody bombing war meant to those in the sky and those on the ground. We have a small number of tables available to book for dining in our well room and conservatory area.

Nichol's experience, as an RAF veteran and survivor of a crash and POW experience in the Gulf War, may have made him more able than most to tease out recollections that many of these men had locked away for decades.
