Tim Woodward, who has died of cancer aged 70, was an actor well suited to authority roles – detectives, doctors and magistrates – and made his biggest impression when he starred on television as RAF officers in two dramas, Wings and Piece of Cake, set in wartime.
Ironically, in his younger days Woodward had rebelled against Officer Training Corps sessions at Haileybury school and persuaded his parents – the actors Edward Woodward and Venetia Barrett – to take him out of school before he could be expelled.
