Thus in the summer of 1953, at the age of fifty-two, Francis first took to the waves; even he would have been astounded to have known that just thirteen years later he would be the most famous sailor in the world.

He had spent those seven years since the war building up his map publishing business, working and living at home, 9 St James’s Place, an elegant four-storey William and Mary house tucked in behind the Ritz and Green Park: very much London SW1. He later recalled that in 1944 his thoughts had turned to what he would do when peace came:

I wanted to get into the air travel business. When on leave I marked off an area in the West End of London where I thought the air travel business would be centred after the war. This was a rectangle, with Piccadilly in the centre. I hired a taxi and drove through every street in the area noting down all the houses for sale. In the end we bought one in St James’s Place.
