LCDR Michael Hilton (‘Hollywood Mike ‘) Aston RFD RANR Rtd.

Seniority as LCDR 1966. I first met him in Kuttabul c. 1968. Said to be XO of HMAS Queenborough c. 1967, maybe under David Martin or Don Weil? Later drove Attack class patrol boat HMAS Barbette. Have had no contact with him for over 45 years. A youthful WWII veteran with some serious campaigning behind him. I assumed he was ex-RN. For his matinee idol looks, a veritable “chick magnet” at any RPC. Highly respected by all who served with and under him.
