Yes... and he had to be official ordered by the Queen not to go to Canada when the Canadian Airborne was being disbanded - he was the honourary Colonel and dearly loved the Regiment (and they him), and participated in some training and a number of jumps. There are rumours that he fired off a nasty phone call or too directed at the PM - and while that may or may not be true he did in fact he gave the PM quite the earful when next he was in the UK...
