Great story!
Did you manage to ask him why he partitioned, in the worst possible way, India as well? Even his naval exploits were suspect I gather. Closet queen too, I am told. Maybe the Indian handover screw-up happened because his wife was bonking Nehru at the time! What a record!

Historical archives are wonderful means to see how we tippy-toed through the Cold War period.
