DLight says
The keeper shown in the film is my father, John Frank Evans, who was always known as Jack. He served in the British Army in Northwest Europe 1944-45, joined Trinity House in 1954 and retired after thirty years in 1984. He was stationed at many different lights during his career including Dungeness, Cromer, the Bishop, the Smalls, the Wolf, the Needles and South Stack. He met my mother, Dorothy Caldwell, on Lundy where she was working as a gardener and they married in 1956. He returned to Lundy in the 1970s but this time as a keeper at Lundy North light. He died in 1997.
