There was a 2020 death notice for David Mabon (Gillingham, Kent) which gave his DoB. His wife was given as Maureen T Mabon.
The only other thing that I have been able to find out is that he was a policeman who had some duties with the Royal Family.

Wonder if your David Mabon was Scottish. There are 2 born in 1926. Sorry do not have any spare credits to check exact birthdate.

1981 the Queen's Birthday Honours
Member of the Royal Victorian Order, 5th Class (MVO)
Inspector David Mabon (Metropolitan Police)
I expect you have seen the letters for sale online to David from Clarence House.
The information listed links the above award to the recipient of the letters and confirms he was of Gillingham (presumably at the time)

Yes, I had seen the collection of letters from Clarence House.

Given his occupation, date of birth and place of residence I expected that it would be relatively easy to trace his earlier years !!

Hi John.

I see the two entries for a David Mabon born 1926 in Scotland but the certificates don't seem to be available regardless of any credits.
