LB - Bob was a star, especially considering his tour started with the death of his new Son in Law in the Hyde Park bombing.
Yes, I knew him at Guetersloh, 19 I think, and Pete Naz was the other Flight Commander. Good customers, usually gave feedback even if I was right with the contrail forecasts. Which was not often, but that's another story ............
I had to do the annual inspection of Binbrook Met Office just after the Hyde Park bomb and a good WingCo Ops tipped me off before I made the mandatory office visit to Stn Cdr.
Dreadful wicked business.
