and was a real charmer, apparently...
Seeing as my dad was 6 foot(ish) in that, it goes to show how tall the tall guy is!
The O.B.E was for his work in aircrash investigation.
Those reconstructions they do (the giant morbid jigsaws) and all the math and deductions, well he pretty much came up with it all. He did the first reconstructions, and I have been told that with out his input, the Spitfire may have been cancelled in favour of more Hurricans. He also figured out the German V2 rocket war head and made improvements that have made air safety what it is today.
