Apparently a hard barsteward, according to the much younger ex-cadets who worked there, and he became Mayor of Salisbury.
He is mentioned, I think, in Max Hastings book on Bomber Command. My copy is in store so unable to check.
Bill? I was scheduled to go to Boscombe after my Approach Radar course and he was to be one of my mentors but Mike Hunt (say that quickly) diverted me to Farnborough at the last minute as that was my final posting.
