This week Taunton born & Bristol educated daredevil Aviator Maurice Kirk drops by to discuss his escapades after learning to fly at Filton while at University. He went on to compete in many air races and to get a reputation as something of an adrenaline junkie, even attempting to fly through the middle of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. He also believes he has been the victim of miscarriages of justice and has spent many months in Cardiff and Bristol prisons recently, the conditions of which he decribes. Mistrustful of solicitors Maurice is a Litigant In Person who refuses to have a solicitor represent him in court after several bad experiences. http://mauricejohnkirk.wordpress.com/ http://kirkflyingvet.com/content/About.aspx http://victims-unite.net/our-cases-as-stories/violent-physical-attacks/maurice-kirk/
