Thanks Factor30, I checked all their names but nothing to link to a broadcaster.

Morning wolf Do you have any further clues as to his identity

[thedaveformula]

Yes wolf63 is clearly correct, the broadcaster she mentions was born 154 years after the sailor guy.

[Ninnynanny]

Thank you Wolf63, and to think that my radio at home is permanently tuned to Radio 5 Live.

He was on the list of Admirals in my link I provided but because the entry was shortened to James Gordon it seems we both missed him.
