During his RAF service, Steve was stationed on the island of Gan on Addu Atoll in the Maldives for almost 18 months, flying regular sorties between the Maldives and Singapore. The southernmost island of the the southernmost Atoll, located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Steve was greatly inspired by this tropical setting so far from his native Cornwall. 

Reading Emil Zola's 'L'Oeuve' (The Masterpiece) in the library of the airbase piqued his interest and contributed towards Steve's decision to become an artist. 

In the Winter of 2023 Steve was able to return to the island with direct flights now available from Sri Lanka. 

Here he met Marion, the wife of one of the Sergeants, who visits Gan every year. Although many of the original buildings now stand empty, overgrown by tropical plants, she showed Steve the old Astra Cinema,  which is now a little museum dedicated to 'The Lonely Men of Coral Command' and filled with photographs and memorabilia from the time when the island was a working RAF base. There were even some photographs of Steve!
