Sir John Archer described him in December 1976 as: a no nonsense" sort of officer, uncomplicated, smiling, friendly who gets on with his job efficiently and effectively. He would expect no credit if things went especially well but would be the first to take the blame if anything went wrong".

In November 1977 the same senior officer writes:

"He is well respected not only within the Services but also by the Local Police, Government and Allied Services with whom he has constant contact".
