I also have a soft spot for our northern rivals. Used to enjoy welcoming them when they came to town as they poured out of the tube station and pubs. Know wot I mean ' arry.

Chelsea14Ian Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I think if you like and enjoy sport,you can appreciate the achievement of others.What happened with the Munich air disaster was very sad.To go on to do so well is a fitting tribute to those that died.

Springsong Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 It's odd isn't it how Kenneth Moore looks more like Douglass Bader than Douglass Bader does. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat nee blownup Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Douglas Bader? Didn’t he star in Genevieve?Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 He was one hell of a bloke Bader. Battle of Britain, as you say, The London to Brighton Run in Genevieve, althought I have always thought it was a funny way to go via Batchworth Heath and West Drayton. But then I suppose his navigation skills were not that great, as Second Officer on the Titanic he was a hell of a way North and drove it into an iceberg. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANTED Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 When Douglas Bader had an Alvis TD 21 He used to bring it back to the Alvis factory for its service and wait for it as a guest of the Directors while it was being done. He found that his tin legs wouldn’t fit under the table so without further ado the Directors sent for the works carpenter who cut out a large scollop from underneath his part of the table and problem sorted. Years later when the board room was being refurbished I bought the table and still have it at home over 40 years later 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
