Yes, it was a pleasure to meet him and to hear him speak. He took part in our (Hatfield RAeS Branch) 1990 symposium marking the 50th anniversary of the first flight of the DH Mosquito, when he told us the story of his first deck landings with a twin-engined type (for transcript see pp 94-104 of "The Mosquito 50 years on" GMS 1991).
As the result of his comment in the questions "I never flew a de Havilland product that was not a pilot's aeroplane" we asked him to come back to talk to us for a whole evening on his experiences with our "pilot's aeroplanes" and he did and it was wonderful.
