Swiffy's Rue

By Kevin Firth

Dave Swift (Swiffy) begins his life in the industrial north of England under traumatic conditions. Little did he know that matters could get much worse. Through a series of sad events at fifteen he is given a choice to join the Royal Navy or go to a boy's prison which was the norm in Britain in the nineteen sixties. He is taught to be a ships diver where his toughness and resilience seems to shine. His life seems to take a turn for the good when he seemingly meets the love of his life.
Unfortunately for Swiffy though, through a series of events he finds himself in the Royal Navies infamous detention quarters which history has proven was little more than a torture camp for young men.
This tough individual with his many scars later becomes a deep-sea diver working on the oil rigs off Scotland. He soon realizes that he is tailor made for this type of extremely dangerous work. But for Swiffy even though he has faced his many fears it would not be enough.
Although a fictional story it is based on true events.
