Tim Clements

Tim tried to join the Royal Air Force after leaving school, but was rejected onmedical grounds as he was partially colour blind and deaf in his left ear. He be-came a fitter and turner apprentice in Chatham Dockyard, as these problems didnot matter in that trade. Towards the end of this five-year apprenticeship, therewere periods when he was not producing anything and he became bored. Apply-ing to join Kent Police, he amazingly passed the medical and began a most unu-sual and possibly unique career, dealing with crime, deaths, natural disasters,accidents, car chases, the list goes on.
