114 OBITUARIES John volunteered when war broke out and served with the 1st Airborne Division from its formation in 1939 until 1946. He served in Africa, Italy, France, Holland, Norway and Germany. After the war he returned to Australia and worked in the motor body industry before moving into farming. He eventually became a citrus grower. John married his wife Dorothy in 1948. Regrettably his date of death is unknown. TIMOTHY JAMES DASHWOOD (1967), nephew of D McAnally (1935), was born in his parents’ estancia in the Argentine in 1947, where he learned to speak Spanish in the kitchen, and English to his family. He learned to ride sitting in a sheepskin saddle, and enjoyed bathing with the whole family in the irrigation tank. Very early in life he showed an intense capacity for concentration, whether he was playing with his trains or constructing something from Meccano. He learned to read, write and do sums long before he had any formal education. The family returned to England in 1953, when Timothy was six, because of political unrest in Argentina. They spent the summer with their McAnally grandparents in Southwold, attending a small school and joining in the Coronation festivities. That autumn, they moved to Hartshall Farm in West Suffolk, where Tim enjoyed driving tractors at harvest time, and by the age of 10 he could competently reverse a tractor with a trailer. After prep school in Norfolk, where Tim excelled and was good at games, he went on to Marlborough. He learned to play the piano and to be a radio “ham”, and enjoyed a school trip to Russia when he was learning the language. From Marlborough, he came to King’s as a Scholar. Unfortunately, he soon became ill with bipolar disorder and had to leave because of ill health; this marked the beginning of many spells in hospital. Tim worked hard to cope with his illness, and at the age of 24 was ready to make another attempt on completing his degree, this time at Trinity College, Oxford. He had three happy years at Oxford, helping to train the rugger team and attending services in the College Chapel. The stress of preparing for final exams, however, was too much for him and he again fell ill, which meant that he left Oxford with an assessed degree.
Tim’s career was in the defence industry. He worked for Marconi Space and Defence Systems for many years. Later, he worked for several small, innovative companies – ASA in Hampshire, and Mass Consultants in Cambridgeshire. His work for Mass Consultants coincided with the Gulf War; defence contracts dried up and asTim was the last to join the company, he was made redundant, which led to another bout of illness. On his recovery, he undertook a period of contracting and then returned to Hampshire to work for the DRA at Farnborough, until ill health led to early retirement in 2004.Tim was handicapped by illness periodically throughout his working life, but nevertheless was always determined to find recovery and to return to work as his health allowed. Tim’s sister Meg introduced him to many of her girlfriends over the years, hoping that he would find someone special. None was quite right; but then he met Kate Harris, who was working for BBC Television. By this time, sailing was Tim’s great love, and most weekends when the weather was right, they took off to the Queen Mary Sailing Club. Sailing was new to Kate, but Tim was more proficient and very competitive, and they only fell in the water once. He proposed to her on holiday in Menorca over a plate of lobster, and they were married in 1983. Having married relatively late in life, they were keen to start a family soon; Peter was born in 1985, and Annie in 1987. The couple moved to a 400-year-old cottage in Yateley, where they had seven happy years. Marconi allowed Tim to work “flexi-time”, so he arrived at work early in the morning and then came home early in the afternoon to spend time with the children and the dog. Because Tim’s career included contracting, the family moved around quite often, and soon learned the skill of packing the teapot last and then unpacking it first at the other end. Sometimes the jobs meant that Tim had to stay away from the family during the week and return at weekends, which none of them found easy. He was immensely proud of his children, considering them to be his life’s best achievement. As they grew up, he taught them to sail and then to drive. 115 OBITUARIES
