Synopsis

In his candid and honest autobiography, Colin Reed, remembers many stories from his childhood in Southampton, his 10 years in the Royal Navy and then a 40 year career in the upstream oil and gas industry including time sent as one the first crew members on BP’s Forties Alpha platform, one its most successful offshore production platforms. From joining the Junior Civil Defence in 1956 to serving onboard HMS Albion during the Borneo War, from living in Singapore, Scotland, Houston and Rio de Janeiro, and from working for hundreds of offshore and oil industry clients around the world, Reed brings his own introspective sense of humour to numerous incidents and experiences. All of this is coloured by his own family experiences, a mixture and tragedy and joy.
