Yes, Dave was in 82 Entry, and as such, was my hut mentor when I attended RAFC. On enquiring about my name, he was told, and with typical Lancashire sangfroid said "I don't like that, have you got another one" ! Which is why I now have a family Christian name and a different Air Force one. He was also a cultured full back in the College 1st XI.
Sad news
