BroadAmbition Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Oh Wow, what a fantastic obituary. DSC - Twice! one legged Chinese Admiral - you couldn't make it up. You can see where Vaughan gets his good looks from. If Commander Mr Ron Ashby was alive now he would make the perfect CEO of the Broads Authority. Vaughan must be so proud of him Griff 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
