Dave was a real quietly spoken gentleman with a huge fund of knowledge. He solved a couple of sticky problems for me by thinking out of the box.

A big loss to the vehicle movement.

I can remember him driving his Lend Lease Chevrolet 3-tonner on our Istanbul to Normandy trip. We were leaving a port in Crete when a couple of illegal immigrants tried to leap into the back of his truck by sprinting along behind when he slowed for traffic. One made it but was soon evicted. Dave saw the second one in the mirror running flat out behind so he slammed on the brakes which unfortunately were a lot better than the runners brakes. Needless to say number two never got on board.
