Captain Malcolm Farrow, now in East Meon, had a 39 year career in the Royal Navy and joined up three times.

He had never formally passed out at Dartmouth College until his daughter took it in hand.

He passed out with Midshipman Charles Murphy, the grandson of an old friend, which made it even more of an occasion for him.

Now in his eighties, he spoke about his career to Mike Waddington.

Malcolm is very modest about his service and still keeps fit with walking and mountain biking!
