Ted I struggle with the notion that he was an IOW Pilot. Prior to October 1988 any candidate for a Trinity House license (the IOW was administered by TH) was required to be British born of British parents, hold a British or Commonwealth Master FG certificate, have 8 years watch-keeping experience, preferably to have been Chief Officer of a substantial ship or Master of a ship in regular trade to the District, and be under the age of 35. I commenced 'tripping' in Nov 1979 at the age of 31 (birthday on the 14th) and licensed in May 1980, ostensibly the youngest pilot in the London District for 30 years.
