You were at Fleetwood a few years before me (I was there 1971 to 1974) but I knew Brian Dodd quite well. I first got to know him when he returned for the radar course, then he was with BP Shipping for a few years whilst I was. During his time with BP he was on a Marine Electronics Course at the same time as me at Plymouth Polytechnic from Sept 1977 to March 1978. I used to give him lifts to and from Plymouth. I visited him a few times in Fleetwood but haven't seen him for years, I think the last time I saw him was just after he got married (early 80s ?) and his wife had a baby on the way.
I've spoken to someone in the last couple of years who reliably informed me that Brian still lives in Fleetwood. I'm not sure but it may have been Ray Pilgrim (retired lecturer), who I bumped into in a restaurant in the Trough of Bowland. A quick check of BT's on line Directory shows a B Dodd, it may be him.
