Reg Arwell
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Reginald "Reg" Arwell was the husband of Madge Arwell and the father of Lily and Cyril Arwell. He was an RAF bomber pilot during the the Second World War and was presumed lost over the English Channel on 20 December 1941. In reality, while his wife was flying an escape pod through the Time Vortex, the light from the pod gave him something to follow and as a result, he flew his plane through the Time Vortex and landed safely at the house where she and their children were staying at on Christmas Day.
