He was commissioned into the RASC from RMA Sandhurst in December 1949 and then served for three years in the Malayan Campaign. On returning to UK he volunteered for pilot training and on gaining his wings he first remained at Middle Wallop as Adjutant of the Glider Pilot Regt then returned to Malaya for a further tour in 7 Recce Flight, 656 Squadron AAC until 1959.
