Many thanks to my old colleague Kevin Connolly, BBC Middle East correspondent and a former Ireland correspondent for keeping his old antennae in good working order to discover the remarkable character of Londonderry born Sir Charles Tegart, commissioner of police in colonial India and Palestine. As Kevin says, they don’t make them like that any more. I don’t know the name – I wonder if anyone out there does?
