That’s a really interesting Obituary tbh and I love that when his tennis was interrupted by WW2 he became a pilot and won the DFC. Seems he was well ahead of his time too in terms of professionalism and training. Died at 96 too!

Have a good day.
Haven't entered that for a while. Might take a look, thanks.
