Falklands War Admiral Sir Sandy Woodward dies

[I. Farticus]

Admiral Woodward was due to take The Salute at my school's CCF Field Day summer of '82, but suddenly had to be some 8,000 miles south of Northwood in a hurry...

RIP Sir. Many are still in your debt

He was at my passing out parade - a true charismatic leader. We could do with a few more like him.
