From the Cold War to the War on Terror

Haygarth, Michael2019
Books, Manuscripts
Michael Haygarth left home a few weeks before his 17th birthday to join the RAF as a Weapons Technician. At the time, everything seemed very normal and routine, but his 38 year career turned out to be anything but. From training with other nations all over the world; fast roping out of helicopters with US Army Rangers; being driven around Basra in the back of a beaten-up taxi wearing civilian clothes with a 9mm pistol stuck in his waistband; to convoying at speed around Baghdad with the United States Army looking for unexploded bombs. All of these events were extraordinary and way beyond the usual experiences of an RAF Engineer.
