So, what’s your claim to fame?

Thinking of the Belgrano, Iwas driving through the village I lived in , just after hearing the Sheffield had been sunk, the captains mother ( Sam salt ) was walking down the road, I stopped the tractor and asked if he was ok ? His mother replied with the following quote “ he is just like his father, he lost two in the last war “ talk about stiff upper lip.

Shot a line of clays north of Stockholm on the same line as the Swedish King Carl Gustaf Folke Hubertus as a guest of Baron Frederik von Essen. A very deep snowy January 1999 and I was using the Baikal o/u I had brought in under the radar so it was really a bit del boyish. All of his bodyguards stayed in the clubhouse drinking coffee as it was too cold. Did not get to chat though.
