Simon Cornes Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yes, sad indeed but what a life and what an age. He made a difference to this country which very few people can claim. We are lucky that people like him - and he was nothing but a lad really - had the guts to do what they did RIP 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Indeed Simon . I saw him being interviewed and he talked about the strike mission on the day Bismarck was sunk. It never went in and they circled as the Rodney and KG V had done the necessary but he was haunted and sad at the German sailors in the sea. He lived in the next town from here as a boy. Funny that Eric Brown lived near here as a child too and we lost them both this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 On 12/12/2016 at 11:29 PM, JohnT said: he was haunted and sad at the German sailors in the sea I don't think many service people relished seeing others in such situations and it is because Jock had to do such a job that two generations since have not had too, certainly on the scale of WWII. Rest in peace Jock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
