Allan Dingwall was an apprentice shipwright boat builder before joining the Royal Australian Air Force - Air Sea rescue Unit. As a shipwright with the unit, he served six years permanently and eight years on reserves, a total of 14 years. On leaving the services he was employed as a Production Manager in the furniture industry before returning to boatbuilding. Later he was employed as a sales Manager in both manufacturing and building wholesale divisions. His pleasure in life has been to write a storyline that expresses his vivid imagination into pictures where the mind of the reader easily adapts to a moving cinema of pictures.  Earlier in his life he found his creative pleasure when writing poetry and lyrics where the storyline needed to be told in a limited number of words in order to have the greatest impact. Allan believes stories are where the imaginative mind discovers its personal passageway into a world of make believe.
