    Unfortunately no he would not speak about it we know he spent some time in a hospital in Surrey to mentally recover from the trauma as he lost a lot of friends on that day and assumed that is why he wouldn't speak about. The only time he mentioned it was to my eldest brother in law many years ago on a holiday in Portsmouth he pointed out a ship that had picked him up.
