Do I correctly recall that he was Station Commander at RAF Tengah around 1969,
He was. I can't vouch for the car; but I know this because just before his departure to Tengah, I had the privilege of giving him a very brief Hunter refresher. He had been in a staff post at HQ 38Gp and went to Tengah at very short notice - too short for a proper refresher course. It was a pleasure to watch him fly - it was as though he was fully current, rather than several years away from the type. Some years later I worked for him when he was again at HQ 38 Gp, as SASO, in the mid-70s. A true gentleman.
