Hokulea,
Very interested in your story and indeed, all the other postings.
I "googled" your request and think Sir Geraint Evans may be the name you are looking for. He was in the RAF and trained as a radio engineer.
Out of interest, my father was taken as a 9 year old boy by my grandfather to Berlin in 1936 and saw Hitler at the Olympic games. My 94 year old mother confirmed this today when I told her about this particular forum.
Regards, Grumpy.
