Sorry to be a bit late to the table with this but I worked in ASCOC with a Master Pilot Ken Shardlow, he was still around in 77 IIRC. He was a larger than life character whose tales of Brigand and beyond kept us all entertained on nights. He sported a full handlebar moustache and was very fond of a pint of best. If this is your man I am pleased to fill in a few blanks.
