Since he was a child in the 1950s watching Vampires and Meteors operating from RAF Turnhouse, Jim Walls wanted to fly aircraft, he just never envisaged that his flying career would be spent in the back seat as opposed to the front. Jim guides readers through his 40—year RAF career that started as a Boy Entrant at RAF Cosford, then as an air radar mechanic before specialising as an air electronics operator (AEO) who flew in Nimrod R1s and Vulcan B2s.
