I think you're right. I'm sure now that it was Ray Mckenzie-blyth who was CFI when I was there. I remember too, the story about the tin legs from some sort of hangar prank... and he did seem to hobble around a bit!
I'm going to repost the thread in the 'where are they now?' section that I've just noticed, to see if that gets any more info.
Thanks for the memory jog!
