From 1971 to 1973 he was appointed head of the Royal Naval Engineering Service. His last post was Director of Manpower and Productivity for the Ministry of Defence. He retired in 1975. He died in a road traffic accident in February 2007 and his family have made a donation to the Imperial Racing Green Project in his memory.
