David Cox (KES 74-81) visited KES this term, having travelled back to the UK from his home in New Zealand.  Now retired but no stranger to travel, David spent his career working for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office as a diplomat, during which time his postings took him to a wealth of interesting places; Australia 1986 – 88, with six months in Fiji in 1987; Pakistan 1989 – 92; Cambodia 1993; Angola 1995 – 99 and back to Pakistan from 2002 – 04. In between these times he found himself back in London dealing with matters as diverse as European Fisheries, the Antarctic, Hong Kong, Africa, South America and even the Falkland Islands. 

David wrote all about his experiences in our Spring 2014 edition of The Edwardian magazine (page 10) and you can read all about what it really means to be a diplomat HERE including when you get a call on Christmas Day to deal with the theft of $3000 from a shoe!!
