THIS charming book, subtitled ‘An illustrated history of RAF Millom and its mountain rescue team’, is filled with facts, figures and replicas of original documents.
Written for those who like to take a detailed dip into the past, the first part is dedicated to historical records from RAF Millom’s wartime service, including its mountain rescue team, which were collected by author John Nixon.
The second part is a collection of stories and anecdotes contributed from ex-members of the base or members of their families.
The book will have strong appeal to anyone who is interested in this part of the world or in military and mountain rescue history. A pleasing and informative read.
