Description

By any standards, Admiral Sir John Treacher is an exceptional man who has had the fullest of lives.

Old enough to have served and be sunk in the War, he went to be a naval aviator flying in the Korean War.

His career took ff too and he rose rapidly to be the captain of the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle and soon after Commander in Chief Channel.

To everyone's surprised he left the Navy when all the indications were that he was about to become First Sea Lord.

For many this would have meant a quiet retirement. Not so here! A number of influential appointments quickly followed including controversially Chairmanship of Playboy Club UK at a critical time for their vital gaming interests.

He was deeply embroiled in the highly political Westland drama which resulted in the resignation of Cabinet ministers.

Today as he approaches 80 he is still an active and influential figure in the aeronautical industry.
