I was also on D watch from 1971 and remember your dad very well as our deputy watch supervisor to Jack Hollis. I also remember you turning up on a regular basis presumably on school holiday time? I have to admit to being one of the participants in "the Les West trouser mystery". It's funny but I don't remember what the actual incident was but I was on No1 south and John Cant on No1 North when John intercommed the trouser comment! I replied and low and behold we had an incident within a minute or so. Forms were filled in and in due course the transcript was produced where the offending comments came to light. I remember being lectured on the need to be aware when using the R/T / intercom that all was recorded by Jack Hollis I think!! Ah well.
Seems a long time ago now but I do remember him well. Wishing you and all of your family the very best.
Take care Dave
