William Henry Nigel Turner - born on March 27, 1910-was always known within the family as Nigel. Brought up in Somerset, he was educated at St Peter's School, Bristol, and later the nearby Clifton College. It was around this time [circa 1927-ed] that he had his first encounter with flying. The Cornwall Aviation Company (CAC) of St Austell visited the area, and the young Nigel was photographed sitting in the passenger seat of a CAC-operated Avro 504. The impact of that early flight must have been considerable and lasting as, while at Clifton, he made up his mind about where his future lay - in the RAF.
