| 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. | |||
