I remember him because his nickname reminded me of my father that I had not yet seen, who was a sailor.

I'm just a wee bit jealous! When I was a lad, a favorite reading topic of mine was the Battle of Britain, in which Sailor Malan, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar, played no small part with 27 aircraft to his credit. (He got his name from serving in the merchant service).

However, to my knowledge, he never wore a kilt (just to keep to our kilt focus).
