Notes for a novel ‘A Golden Bridge’ were written in the late seventies by Ian Trenowden. Ian died, out of the blue, one day in 2012. Since then I have steadily combed through his extensive notes on all things. From the back of envelopes to reams of carbon copied typed sheets held together with string. Renegade Spitfire, is the result of my piecing together of some of those notes. The language used is as befits the time and it is an interesting snapshot of London during 1941. Ian was a small boy living South London at the time and many of the details suggest that they were written from personal experience. Ian also held a private pilot’s license and many of the cockpit details are the result of personal experience and his own extensive research into all aspects of the Second World War. Some of the opinions I am aware do not sit easily in today’s world. Ian’s ‘clipped’ tone, can be a mite awkward and cumbersome and was written in an era that was not as politically correct as the one we inhabit today. Above all, the idea that the German’s were operating one of our Spitfires is an interesting one and I feel it deserved to be let out of its cardboard box. The fantastic cover art was produced by Ste Johnson, a Liverpool based illustrator.
