I could be wrong, but he appears to be David Lionel Austin. See http://ww2talk.com/index.php?threads/americas-cup-in-the-solent-new-photo-book-with-military-history.68760/

Restarting this old thread as my current project of getting my 65+ year old Hornby Dublo 3rail train set running again (in much enlarged and enhanced form) has led a friend to donate an ancient controller. I don't think that I'll be poking 240volts into it anytime soon, but in the box with it were two Triang pamphlets. One is a how to use your train, and maintain it with quite detailed instructions on lubrication and even cleaning the commutator.
The other one is a list of service agents and overseas importers.
I have attached the Kent listing, doubly kentish as they were by then based in Margate. Not sure of date, maybe mid 70s?
John Walker:
Looks like he is still around if the last line below means when he was last seen on the forum?
I think his first name is David. Profile from the WW2 Forum/

I've contacted the Folkestone Model Railway Club & the sec. has asked around & no one knows of the O layout of Commander Chuff. Have now e-mailed the O Gauge Society, so fingers X'd! He must be somewhere! Nice to know that there were several model railway shops in Medway, some where you dream of being let loose for a day!
