David FairsDavid Fairs was born in Wales shortly before the outbreak of WW2 into a family with very little cash. Scrambling with difficulty through the first eighteen years of his life, he was drawn into the Army and commissioned in 1953, the year of the Coronaion in Britain. Nothing stopped him from achieving his goals, first as a Paratooper with over eighty jumps to his name, then as an Army Commando, from where he took a small party to canoe down the Nile for a thousand miles.
