Not Scottish but English.

CLUE: He wrote a book on one of his experiences which imho was a bloody good read.

'experience' in WWII?

Jimbuna · 04-30-21, 11:41 AM

Yes but in total his career was over forty plus years.

Aktungbby · 04-30-21, 12:23 PM

Was he also in WW I?

I must humbly apologise, he did not see service during WW2 but shortly thereafter

Clue: He was married and had one son and one daughter.

Royal Navy then?

Jimbuna · 04-30-21, 01:16 PM

Most definitely and I should imagine you will have a pretty good knowledge base regarding him and his achievements.

A renowned author of several books?

Well, that lets out author Dudley Pope(no son; and he was torpedoed as a teenaged merchant cadet in WWII)who's photo looked similar.

Just the one book/memoir as far as I'm aware but it was revised and updated twice.

The original book is currently in my bedside cabinet.

This gentleman died less than ten years ago.

Aktungbby · 05-01-21, 01:35 PM

I came to think of Christopher Lee, but he died in 2015 and he was also active during WWII.

So it isn't him.

A marine artist? I can't think of anyone who fits the bill

One Hunred Days by Adm. John Forster 'Sandy' Woodward GBE KCB? Began his career in 1946 just after WWII and served in submarines which availed him well when he ordered the hunt to destruction of the Exocet missile equipped exAmerican cruiser, Adm Belgrano, a serious risk to the Falkland invasion British taskforce.
