Apropos RV Jones - a most unassuming man and certainly not arrogant. Knew him in later life when he was 'Prof Jones' - Professor of Natural Philosophy (Physics to you and me) at Aberdeen Uni in the 70s. Took a great interest in both the UAS and the URNU , in fact was our guest of honour at one Mess Dinner for the latter when I was presiding, so sitting next to the great man was fascinating. His lectures were legendary, incorporating much of his wartime life, so much so that an awful lot more students turned up than just his Physics lot. Lovely man.
