Frank Dyson obituary

Our father, Frank Dyson, who has died aged 94, was a civil engineer who built airports in the UK and abroad, and served as a councillor in Ribble Valley, Lancashire.

Frank was the son of Gladys and Frank. His father was a police constable, who died on duty in Barrow-in-Furness when Frank was 11. The official version of his father's death was that he was fatally injured in a fall from his cycle, but Frank was convinced that he was murdered, beaten up and thrown in the ditch by a gang of poachers.
