I got to know Andy pretty well over the years, especially after he became a barrister.  He would have loved to rejoin the RN but, typically, there were some arcane rules that prevented it so he opted instead for the RAF.  Even though he was only with them for a few short years I know he made a tremendous impact.  As Bill Woodley said in his eulogy at the funeral, a properly trained naval officer was always going to outclass the Crabs.  And he did.  He'd be an Air Marshal by now I imagine.

A sad loss of a lovely bloke, he could always find the humour in any situation his intelligence and wit making him someone to just listen to and enjoy, especially when off on one of his favourite subjects!!! No names no pack drill!!To this day I never play a game of golf without thinking of him, on coming to a Par 5 he would often helpfully advise --`Dont look on it as a challenge, think of it as an opportunity' 

Andy was indeed top drawer. I still listen to "Pete and Dud" and see his grin. I was more than gutted when I was working abroad and missed his funeral....cracked a bottle open to toast his memory. Still raise a glass to him now.A very great friend.Thank you Andy.Jeremy Coughlan
