Featuring the comedic adventures of short and swarthy Ginger Harrison and his tall lanky mate Sticky Albright over a two-year sojourn in defence of king and country; the skives and the scams, the conflicts with irascible Sergeant ‘Bandy’ Jordan and supercilious Squadron-Leader Aljonquin Phartingail ffoulkes-Knight; the camaraderie among fellow inmates of Hut 29 in RAF Padgate. These tales are loosely based on the experiences of the author during his stint as a national serviceman during the 1950s.
