My US friends on here may not be familiar with the name so here's a link:-

I had my 18th Birthday on HMS Invincible on the way to take back the Falklands. When everyone said it couldn't be done. "Sandy" proved them wrong. Not posting this to debate the rights or wrongs of the War. Just acknowledging a fine Gentleman's passing.
RIP "Sandy" one off the last of the Breed.
