  • Great, I will look out for this book. JJN is great, I would like his life. The son of a cabinet minister, Eton & Oxford though - he has had an easy ride.

  • Signed first edition of John's latest book @ fine1steditions.co.uk

  • yes, those Venetians could have shown the UK MoD a thing or two about defence procurement

  • well crafted and informative mini-documentary, this... nice work!

  • 16 hours to build a sea-worthy vessel... You see, THAT is industry.
