About this title

Synopsis

From his schooldays at Scunthorpe Grammar School ambitions to have an RAF career, Formula One racing driver or a professional footballer to the realisation of dreams and a life filled with action adventure and travel – as well as the odd career change - this autobiography shows how one ordinary man can live life to the full.But through the action and adventure, the RAF career and subsequent career change, the author wonders what could have been. The fact that he never achieved the fame of David Beckham, Douglas Bader or Lewis Hamilton can only be blamed on the Education Authorities for failing in their duty to provide him with the necessary qualifications to further his ambitions. Or could the fault lay with the author who was too optimistic and lacked the necessary will to succeed. Read the book and form your own opinion.

Review

One time owner of Lincolnshire Life, the county magazine, Geoff Lenthall has put pen to paper and written his autobiography. Born in 1925 he was just in time for the tailend of the war. This book is a true and endearing account of his three careers, places visited, highs and lows and is not only a memoir but also a love story. Peter Chapman (Grimsby Telegraph)

He flew in Wellington bombers, rubbed shoulders with some of theatre’s greats and has had three very different careers, banking, fishing industry and publishing. ‘Aiming High’ is an amusing and entertaining account of his adventurous life and his efforts to attain his schoolboy ambitions. Vincent McDonagh (Cleethorpes Chronicle)
