I didnt know him but my father who was in RCT as a young man ( K . Preece ) was in Singapore and knew him in late 1950s. He also " baby sat" Little Jenny at Changi airport once he commented to me several times .

I was in the RCT and had the privilege of working at Kings Buildings on the embankment. At the time it was the offices of the BRITISH FORCES BROADCASTING SERVICE and I frequently came into contact with Derek. Fond memories and such a nice man, may he rest peacefully.

We had the great pleasure of working with him on CSE tours of the Middle East and Arabian Gulf during the late 1960's. A lovely man! Condolences to all his family and friends. Shirley and Johnny.
