Christmas isn’t the most wonderful time of the year for RAF veteran Mike – it’s the loneliest. From the moment the shops are stocked with festive decorations, he can’t wait for it all to be over.
For many of his 13 years in the military, Mike had adventures, made friends and enjoyed the camaraderie. His service included two lengthy tours of Northern Ireland during the Troubles as well as deployments to Cyprus and the Falklands.
