Sally - As I think is written variously above, your Dad was a 'bit special' for those who served with him. As I mentioned, I was with him at Abingdon and one of the 53 Sqdn 'social exercises' was a link-up and adoption by Guiness Breweries - I'm sure that there was a 'natural' affinity there, somewhere!
I'm attaching a commemorative photo of the first visit to Guiness at Park Royal Brewery when we presented a scale model Bev and were 'given the tour' and treated to lunch. You may already have a copy, but if not, you may recognise the handsome chap standing behind the starboard fin of the model. Fond memories and sincere condolences
