Guest alex Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 think he flew bombers in WW2 as well He did I think and needed reconstructive surgery on his face after a crash/injury during the war.

Hugh McIlvaney mentioned it in the tribute he paid to him in the Sunday Times this week. Not straight from the horses mouth though. Although he did meet him once.

Guest alex Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Both the Times and Indie say it was PR stunt in their Obits................... quoting the man himself Fair do's, seems like one of those things that is attributed to someone but never happened. Just saying that's where I heard it. Canny interesting character regardless. There's a class photo of his face I have of him in either The Photograph Book or the book that compiled photos from different 'Time' photographers that was taken in his heyday. Looked the part (and was the part), you might say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
