His son writes: "We believe that he served in the
Royal Navy as a 3rd class stoker, with appropriate regradings from about 1923
until about 1934. At that time we believe he was stationed with the RN Submarine
Fleet in China and served on the HMS Parthian. Certainly there are photos of
some of the ship's company performing the "crossing the line" ceremony at
Repulse Bay, dated 1932 on board the Parthian. He paid off in China and elected
to stay there, joining the Hong Kong Police Force until some time before WW2. We
believe that he re-enlisted upon outbreak of war as a naval rating, probably as
a leading hand or Petty Officer ME and was, probably at the time your records
show him as an officer, awarded a war-time commission. We have no records and
have really only my memories to go on, but we believe that he was on North
Atlantic convoy duty and was sunk, possibly twice." |

Joined 1940 as a Naval Airman Second Class starting training at
St Vincent and learnt to fly in Canada with operational training in Scotland.
1942 he volunteered to join 841 NAS for special duties flying black-painted
Fairey Albacores against enemy shipping under cover of darkness and was awarded
the DSC for sinking three E-boats in 1943. He served at Coltishall, Tangmere,
Exeter, St Merryn, Malta and Australia where he was demobilised in 1946. He kept
up his flying skills by joining 1832 RNVR squadron which he commanded in 1948.
The next year he persuaded the Navy that his pilots had sufficient skill to land
their Seafires on carriers at sea and 1832 became the first reserve squadron to
serve at sea; its 20 aircraft achieving 269 landings on Implacable in seven days
of training. In 1956 he became the first reservist to land a Seahawk jet on a
carrier Bulwark; he was promoted to Commander and was awarded a military MBE in
1952 and the Volunteer Reserve Decoration in 1955. He chaired the first meeting
of the Fleet Air Arm Officers’ Association 1957. |
