On a date now forgotten in November, 1969, a young boy, then aged seven was put on board a British Overseas Airways Corporation flight that was departing Lagos for London at 09.45

hours.

That was the beginning of a fifty year adventure in British territorial waters that would see him looking at Britain from the inside out and seeing his homeland from the outside in; lifting

the veil over both countries.

The characters and the dramas in this pioneering and never to be repeated journey are simply breath taking. They will leave you wondering whether this autobiographical work belongs with your fiction or non-fiction collection.
