'I was quite taken aback when I found this diary in a heap of some old papers of mine. All compiled in a wee black book, and rather neatly written out. All about my experiences as a Lancaster bomb-aimer, between 29 May and 13Ã August 1944 - aged about 22 at the time. On reading it I could hardly believe I was involved in all these air-raids over France and the Third Reich. I was one of the lucky ones who survived - many of my pals did not.'

After the overthrow of the Shah, many Iranians living abroad were afraid to go back
home in case they fell foul of the Islamic courts. And since President Bani-Sadr lost
