Why Don and not Donald?

User:Clare., what's the basis for calling him Don?

I worked for the Dept of Civil Aviation when he was the Director-General, and he was always referred to as Sir Donald, never Sir Don. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 10:38, 2 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jack of Oz. Only from my readings, e.g. http://www.airwaysmuseum.com/Sir%20Don%20Anderson%20biog.htm and the Gunn item in ADB. Happy for you to change, no opposition from me. Clare. (talk) 11:43, 2 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
