I smile each time I recall Rob explaining the complexities of compound security during a very visceral and practical demonstration of how easy it is to overcome perimeter security. The demonstration was in Eastern Congo and Rob used an amazing contrast of colonial English and British French. I remember him shouting 'come on chaps' as he threw a blanket over razor wire and threw himself on both and encouraged the local guards to step on his back in order to overcome the sharp-spiked perils of South African made razor wire. Brilliant. Rob, you were and always will be the best at combining the essence of England with your own brand of charismatic and sometimes risque humour and you always seemed to make people smile, laugh and learn. God bless your soul, you loveable rogue.
