BRISBANE, Australia, Feb. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Author, Paul Roy
Malcolm and BookPal Australia are pleased to announce the publication
of the author’s new book, “Trajectory” and subtitled, Bombay to
Australia & the Rocket Range.
Paul Roy Malcolm gives the reader detailed information about living
in Bombay during its turbulent struggle for independence from the
British Raj. Even as a young man, Paul recognises that the world
he had known was changing. He joins the Merchant Navy to travel the
world and becomes a marine engineer. In 1947, he finally settles in
Australia, seeing it as a land of immense opportunity. By the 1960’s
he had worked all over Australia and become a fully qualified engineer.
His vast engineering background led him into the exciting world of
rockets for science and he became a member of a group of scientists,
engineers and technicians drawn from around the world who would
conduct the Skylark rocket trials from Woomera. These trials made
very important contributions to the scientific exploration of the
upper atmosphere and beyond. With this experience under his belt,
he was the obvious choice when the Department of Defence needed an
experienced engineer to plan and run sea trials for a secret submarine
detection system. These trials eventually led to the Barra Sonobuoy
System, which is currently used by the Royal Australian Air Force.
The author comments, “Now at 90 years of age, the trajectory of
my life continues with an active lifestyle that includes staying
abreast of scientific developments in today’s world. I hope my book
will provide inspiration for others to go out and make their own way
in this new digital age.”
About the Author Paul Roy Malcolm grew up in India with Armenian
parents and an English education. He first visited Australia in
1944 as a Merchant Navy seaman, and settled in Fremantle in 1947. He
joined the Weapons Research Establishment (WRE) in Salisbury, South
Australia and spent many years on a British scientific project, firing
Skylark rockets from Woomera to explore the upper atmosphere. He is a
widower with two adult children and enjoys walking, dancing, Tai Chi,
and lawn bowls.
