Travels with Wilfred - Richard Cullen

The story of Margaret McLaren-Reid and her husband Harry, an RAF pilot who lived an elite existence marked by privilege but also isolation, stationed in the Middle East, India and South America. Margaret kept up the rituals of British domestic life and tea parties. Temptations abounded, in the form of flirtations, but freedoms were balanced by the stresses of parenting and separation from home. Despite the veneer of order and prestige, service families endured a constant sense of unease, never sure how long any posting might last and what dangers the next one would bring.
