Many thanks to all in and around Amble (the friendliest port) who helped put me in contact with Ron MILLAR & family, particularly John GRIFFITHS and son Les GRIFFITHS and also Ron's niece Barbara (Pringle) ALLEN. Ron is an enthusiastic, interesting and kind man, retired two decades ago from his high-powered career as a civil engineer designing motorway bridges amongst other things, he & wife Dorothy live 'doon sooth' in Ashby-de-la-Zouch but still has a good Northumberland accent. Son, daughter and grandchilden. Lots of interesting family stories to exchange. Well worth the long quest. Thanks.
