For what it's worth I reckon Dick was one of the last great aviation engineers & I agree with everything Ghengis has said (Dick was also the Flight Test Engineer on the Princess flying boat). It was my great privelidge to know him & be entertained on many occasions in various resteraunts around Bicester with the snippets of information that he told to friends. God Bless you Sir we will all miss you - especially those at Windrushers GC. I hope we can give him a good send off.
