He served with Bomber Command in Europe and the Middle East arriving in India as the war ended he accepted an offer to remain there for 2 years flying transport aircraft. After the first India-Pakistani war (Aug. 1947), he decided to try civil aviation in Canada. Advised by TCA that he was too old at age 26, he found himself in the RCAF in 1948 and in 1954 arrived in Trenton. After a tour with 426 Sqdn and one year with the UN in Egypt, he was back in Trenton with 437 Sqdn. In 1964, he was suddenly retired when the Defense Minister Paul Hellyer applied a sharp axe to the RCAF. Jock obtained employment with a charter airline in Gatwick and he and his wife Adrienne moved to the UK and he continued flying for the next 18 years. In 1976, they moved to their villa in Majorca.
