I have a memory of him when he was station commander at Laarbruch, roaring into Friday Happy Hour in the OM, straight from RAF Hospital at Wegburg where his son had just been born. Drinks (x many) all round, and eventually conversation turned to a suitable name for the boy. Many suggestions, mostly totally unsuitable, until he finally announced, in a somewhat slurred way, that he was going to call him Guy, so that he could be known as Guy Fawkes Knight. I have no idea what name he ended up with, but by the end of the evening, most people no longer had any idea of what their own name was.
