Thanks to John Millman a nephew of Victor Savory we now know a little more about
Victor. His real name was Alfred Victor Alexander Savory and John remembers him as a “lovely man – 6ft 4ins tall and of heavy build.” He began his career as an Engineer in the Royal Air Force and was badly burned in the R101 crash. In WW2 Victor worked as an AID (Air Inspectorate Division) Inspector at the A V Roe Company (AVRO) in Lincoln.
In Johns words again – “Occasionally he would visit us for a couple of days and mother (Gertrude Savory n. Millman) would always put herself out for him, he was her favourite brother”
