Slightly OT a_a, but wasnt that the same accident that also took the life of Lt Cdr David Roue? Although Lt Cdr Roue was serving in the ASW world he had transferred from the AEW world with the demise of RN FW AEW in the late 70's.
The Roue Trophy is awarded annually (in Lt Cdr Roue's memory) to the best ASaC Student of the preceeding year - His widow Gill still lives close to Culdrose and remains a firm friend of the Bag community, attending many Squadron events.
