I wonder if Paddy would like to be compared to Guy Gibson, Christine Granville and Alan Turing all of whom were the best at what they did? However, that was not the end of his story.

The book researched and written by Hamish Ross is well researched and endorsed by relatives of the family of Robert Blair "Paddy" Mayne. Paddy was ultimately the right person for the right job and he performed it amazingly. Perhaps, he'd sit down with the Duke of Edinburgh and ask him about his memories of the 16 December 1988 (33 years after 1955).

. That would be something for the lads to have a laugh about. I only wonder what he would do with a Victoria Cross today being awarded so late in his afterlife? Paddy Mayne was buried on Friday 16 December 1955.
