In case you haven't seen the funeral details..........
Lt Cdr David Sumner Mallock AFC, RN (Retd). Died 26th July 2012. Funeral at Exeter and Devon Crematorium on 9th August at 11.30 a.m. Donations in aid of Hospiscare, Tiverton, to Walter H. Squires & Son, Chapel of Rest, 11 Wellbrook Street, Tiverton, Devon, EX16 5JW.
.......and an amusing anecdote from one of his old friends:
One memory I have of Dave Mallock arose during the Dar es Salaam mutiny in '64 when the Royal Marines made an early morning landing and captured the Armoury in the local barracks in order to get ammunition for their .762 rifles. Aden had stored the Centaur with .303 ammo !!! Dave was flying his Wessex over a dusty road and some troops decided to surrender to him. He landed, took their rifles off them and flew back on board.. He had these rifles in his cabin for a while. I remember having to persuade him to hand them in - he considered them trophies of war.
