I fear he may be in HM's Historic Holding Tank.

Despite his often expressed loyalty to his sovereign, arguing with her ministers over their lack of obedience to her pilotage laws, possibly the laws of many Great times Grandpa Harry (who was, who was), may have ended in the Tower Gaol (let us hope not Tower Green!).

(In essence, as I understand it, several harbour authorities have been encouraged by the irresponsible Secretary of State into issuing 'class' pilotage exemptions based on STCW competencies (see earlier definitions under recent IMarEST thread) and without the expected makey-learn no-beachy-da-boat experience). This, supposedly, in the interests of economy rather than those of the remaining ship repair yards. Barrie can easily be Googled waging war on said irresponsible ministers.
