Got most of his stuff, can be a bit droll, but good reads mostly.
Just read 2 good books, one by Charlie Janes, the NZ doc officer who loves planes and poaching, called Time for a brew. And another by JD Salmond called Hearts of gold, about the early days of Queenstown. Really enjoyed both.

Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
One False Move, by Robert Macklin.
A true story of a handful of Australian gentlemen who were at the forefront of defusing mines during WW2. Based near Portsmouth but ranging all over the UK dealing with unexploded mines (not bombs) that were strangling Britain's shipping.
The exact moment that Germany "lost the war" is explained as being when Goering took control of delivering the mines via aircraft. Previously the German Navy delivered the mines, they were very effective and had Britain on its knees, to the extent that PM chamberlain was talking about peace overtures with Hitler!
Suffice to say the defusing of mines became a dangerous occupation, especially when various types of booby-traps were added specifically to kill anyone trying to disarm the mines.
Working on land had its difficulties and when these chaps decided to start diving on them and disarming them under water, in pitch black, in braille, things were a tad harder!
Interestingly there was an excellent TV series in the '70's called "Danger UXB" which was (apart from bloody excellent!) very factual.
Several George Cross medals were awarded for the work done by these brave Australians. Virtually the same as a VC apart from the presence of the enemy was not required as a pre requisite.
An excellent book!
Enjoyed it immensely. 9.5/10
