Department of small coincidences.
The Times yesterday carried an obituary of Air Commodore John Sowrey who died on 30 November, age 90.
Among the other anecdotes we are told of how, after his retirement from a very distinguished flying career, he helped his wife with her fashion business. And so he personally delivered to Buckingham Palace the blue engagement outfit which was worn by Princess Diana & has been in the news again recently.
Princess Diana was an established customer of Regamus, where among other outfits she had bought the dress which was donated to Madame Tusssauds for her first wax figure.
