I never actually met him as he was long gone by the time I was born but my dad used to talk about him a lot. Half of that was about all the test pilots who used to stay with them and the non rationed food they used to get during the war as a result.
As I followed both my grandad and dad into engineering, I was given my granddads Rolls Royce Aerospace tool kit as a graduation present. Its locked up well away from any danger and is probably my most treasured possession.
