About the Author

Following his years at sea Charles Aitchison worked for the Scottish Civil Service before joining Customs & Excise in 1950, where he worked in breweries, distilleries and bonded warehouses concerned with Purchase Tax and VAT until 1983. He was also a professional chorister with Scottish Opera from 1968 to 1978, which earned him an Equity card, enabling him to do various walk-ons and small speaking parts in film and TV. He has been writing professionally since 1990, and has had many articles published in nostalgia and maritime publications.
