News came back from Rod though as a negative - colour and taping in not right, and more importantly - he never rode a Keyo.
Ah well, the search continues. Thanks to Jean Pierre, who still has a very interesting old longboard.
Thanks also to Henry for this link - http://surfworldgoldcoast.com/?p=982 to one of Rod's surviving boards, in Australia in the the collection of his brother David. This says Rod started using the union jack at the 1966 worlds at the insistence of his patriotic father. Although on second look this doesn't seem to be a 60s board - leash plug and too much nose rocker ?

this one looks pretty original....
