As a young boy, he was evacuated from London during the rocket attacks of 1945, to the countryside near a U.S. military airfield, where an American aircrew took him around their B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. This led to a lifelong fascination with military aviation. As a young man, Quiney performed his national service as a radar technician in the Royal Air Force, and later in life he realised a dream of piloting a restored Supermarine Spitfire.
==Personal life== He is the husband of Ginnie Hole; screenwriter for ''The House of Eliott'', ''Casualty'', ''The Bill'', and many other television programmes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0390409/|title=Ginnie Hole|website=IMDb}}</ref>
