"Buddy "Messenger
My Dad flew with him during and after the war as a "Flying Spanner"and told many a tale of "daring do"and knew him of course in his mechanic mode at Imperial Airways ,
He flew on trooping and freight runs to France in the H.P.42s with him in 1939-40 before the fall of France , he said he was always the perfect gentleman and admired him unfortunatly I can't remember anything pacific as it was a long time ago and he died in 1977 but i remember the those bits
Hope it helps
