I met him about 25 years ago, a colleague and myself were having a working lunch in a pub alongside Loch Fyne. We were working with a submarine dived in the loch, he had spotted the periscope and as we were in uniform made the link as uniformed matloes are not a common sight in remote Scottish pubs. An interesting lunch!

was on another forum this AM, talking about Swordfish, and Taranto
somebody came up with this gem:
"Cunningham and Lyster wanted to strike Taranto again the next night with Swordfish (six torpedo-bombers, seven bombers, and two flare-dispensers) – one wag in the pilot's room remarked, "They only asked the Light Brigade to do it once!" – but bad weather prevented the action."
