I remember Chris when he was OC Ops at Lossiemouth when I was a student there on 2 TWU in 1978/9. As I recall from training days, OC Ops was not a person who usually had much contact with students but Chris was a really pleasant, sociable person who mixed in with us well and was very popular. I will never forget a very amusing tale from him of his conversion to the Single Pioneer when on 20 Squadron and his subsequent flying of FAC tasks in it.
Sadly, I am out of the country for his Memorial Service or I would have gone to say farewell to a fine gentleman and character. RIP, Chris.
