The Shepherd

This has become a tradition for me. As long as I’ve been posting online, I’ve published some version of The Shepherd every Christmas day. The Shepherd, a Christmas ghost story, was written by Frederick Forsyth. This one is read by Al Maitland of the CBC in 1979.

It follows an RAF Vampire pilot on a trip from Germany to England. En-route, his plane has a major electrical malfunction and encounters bad weather. He is rescued from his predicament by the ghost of a WWII Mosquito pilot and his plane.
