I've learnt to use my leadership skills.

The RAF gave me a new cultural identity.

I could hear bombs and gunfire. It was time to get up.

I know a lot of people who have tried to get out of work because they were hung-over

Mother was horrified, but Father overruled her.

Do they know who I am? I'm just a kid from Woolwich

I still spend all of my working hours supporting the military.

These young men thought they would live forever

There isn't as much discipline as there used to be

They took my gun and both my watches, but they didn't find the gold.

I was stubborn: I had to prove I could do it.

There were death threats. But I'm still here.
