Royal Navy Marine Engineer, David “Yorkie” Stout, leaves the navy after almost 30 years service on February 24th 2012. Once he has handed his warrant card in at HMS Neptune, north of Glasgow, he is going to walk home. Fair enough you might think; if he’s had a wee dram on his last day then leaving the car at home might be sensible. However, Yorkie lives in Queensbury in West Yorkshire….250 miles away!
