Rear-Admiral Dennis Royle Farquharson Cambell CB, DSC




Most readers of this blog will know that Dennis Cambell, Captain of HMS Ark Royal in 1955/6 and inventor of the Angled Flight Deck, married Dorothy Downes. I was a pageboy at their wedding in 1933 – the picture shows I rather disapproved of the outfit I was asked to wear!

Their daughter Lalage Cambell writes: I have launched a new website commemorating my father, replacing the old, very tired website, and I am circulating the link to those cousins for whom I have email addresses in case of interest. It is very much under development and there are several pages that I would like to expand in time.  https://www.denniscambell.org.uk/

She would, I am sure, welcome your comments.

If you scroll down to the entry for October 2017 you will find a picture of their house and the blue plaque fixed over the door.
