yes, the independent obit it is wrong , Cyrils roots were hampshire and devon.
a more accurate obit was derek schofields in guardian
for christ sake there is only one naval base in cornwall for helicopters cyril was a submariner, the oggy man is devonport based.
it is about time that these repeated press inaccuracies were sorted. cyrils roots were hampshire and devon.anyone who knows anything about the west country will tell you of the fierce rivalry between devon and cornwall.
if you are going to be inaccurate, do a proper job, and say he had somerset and gloucstershire roots, why not? its all the west country, or why not say he had roots from the scilly isles, that is equally wide of the mark
