Sweet!No Highway (James Stewart) had a lead character called Theodore Honey. That characters mannerisms were the spit of my father. He actually assisted with some of the details.
Back when Movie films had 'infomercial' trailers, my father was in one about a crash investigation into a Buccaneer (YARR!) jet. He was in the cinema infomercial prior to The Great Escape main feature!!!

Nice one!I can think of far worse films to support.
And as for Richard Todd: I've seen him about when I've been down there visiting my mum. It's odd, because I see him more as Guy Gibson than I do as RT, and given that the mission was planned about 1/4 of a mile from the house I grew up in (the building used to spook me as a kid), it's all a bit resonant for me.
Funny how random , yet how deeply-woven these things are.

My father did some work with Barnes Wallis,as was the nature of his work at R.A.E Structures dept.
Funny thing is - The father in law of the nurse dealing with my dad turned out to be a metalurgist who had worked with him at the R.A.E!
