Ah, the lovely gent TG
Indeed so. First met him when I did his rotary conversion before he took command of the Secret Hampshire Helicopter Base.
Met him many times thereafter - an oustanding officer and gentleman. He was ACAS when I first served in MoD - I recall in my arrival interview he dismissed the (then) prevalent "the later you work the better you are" syndrome with the words: "If I'm not back in the flat in time for the Archers (1900) then something's very wrong!"
