Chatted with Wg Cdr Nicholson one night in the Calcutta "Grand", where we were on leave after my "prang". No 'side' to the man at all. Looked at my battered face, "Reflector sight trouble ?", he asked sympathetically. (Only VC I ever met).
Danny.
Such a shame that he and other pilots went that way and always interesting to hear the personal side.
