Your Dad was my first operational squadron commander - 20 Sqn Harriers at Wildenrath - 1972.

The picture posted by Morton of him some 10 years later is exactly as I remember him.

As a Junior Pilot in the early 70's the Boss was not one to be best friends with - more someone to be held in awe. I have had no communication with your Dad since then. But he was a great Boss, and as stated by the previous comments about him, a popular and well-thought of man.

My condolences - you must surely be very proud of him.
