about: David Yates was born in Berkshire in 1957. He served in the Royal Navy from 1976 to 2000, and saw active service in the Falklands War of 1982 and the First Gulf War of 1991. David’s first book, Bomb Alley, his personal account of the Falklands War aboard HMS Antrim, was published in 2006, and he finally realised his dream of moving to the Isle of Wight in the same year. During the events held to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Falklands War in the summer of 2007, David completed a circumnavigational walk of the island.
