A former officer in the British Army, GRAHAM WATERTON felt compelled to write this story because Brian Slade was his uncle. Having learned from his mother the terrible impact of Brian’s death on her family, and the fact she knew so little about her brother, following a successful 30-year business career Graham seized the opportunity to uncover the full story of his uncle’s RAF career and his death in 1943. As well as teaching people to fly fish, Graham writes and edit a flyfishing journal.
