He was not on the Hood when it was blown up.

It's always sad to hear
and it makes you wonder what state it left him in, the perennial question most in that situation normally ask of themselves is "Why me? Why did I survive and why did person x, y and z die?" Undeservedly pretty torturous.
What I didn't realise (and find hugely commendable) is that the three of them survived for THREE HOURS in Greenland waters!

Umm, not to nitpick, but it should be the FAA, not the RAF...

Yes, I didn't figure it was you that would make a rookie mistake like that.... 8)
Sad events though, with both the Hood Bismarck having so few survivors
