Sid Deeky Was My Friend by Ian Hunt

Sid Deeky Was My Friend by Ian Hunt

A portrait of the life of an expatriate during the early days in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 1978 - 1985.

Ian Davidson Hunt was born in March 1946 in Sunderland, which makes him a 'Mackem', which is appropriate as much of his mother's side were shipbuilders on the Tyne. His father was a Scot who spent much of his working life in the USA and in what used to be called Persia as a draughtsman. They lived at a place called Hooton in the Wirral and he attended Childer Thornton Primary school, attended a private school Wellington in Bebbington, where he not proved to be a great academic, but enjoyed the sport of rowing with Grosvenor Rowing Club on the Dee at Chester. He managed to get a job with Mersey Docks & Harbour Board in the early 1960's as a Management Trainee. This proved to be a good choice as the time spent there opened up employment opportunities overseas in ports in Saudi Arabia, Kenya and Mozambique. He married Christine in 1970 and had a son Oliver, who is now a father himself. After much house renovation in Upton in the Wirral they finally moved to an ex-working farm near Bodfari, North Wales where they run a small holiday let business from a converted outbuilding. He is an avid collector of signed aviation art, books and has a collection of WW2 model aircraft!
