Sally, thank you so much for posting here, despite having exposed me in the process! I hope this thread, which has spanned your father's commands of Flight, Squadron, and Station, has confirmed the very great respect and warmth that he engendered in those he commanded. Suffice to say that he was a lovely man, a very unmilitary description I must admit but yet fitting I would suggest.
All I can add is my own personal condolences in your sad loss. We are all the poorer for his passing, as is the Royal Air Force that he served so well.
RIP.
