Octopus of Odstock 2,203 Posted July 7, 2011 DDP pick Bill Boddy died today aged 98 - http://www.motorsportmagazine.co.uk/2011/0...-mbe-1913-2011/ - apt timing on a pretty bad day for journalism all round.... Unique hit for the DDP motor racing team should there be an obit - but as he's a journo of 81 years service and the broadsheets normally honour their own, he should get 8 points.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted July 14, 2011 Gerry Blacklock OBE, another WW2 veteran in the Telegraph obits. Aha, he was involved in a bit of history I'm rather interested in: After the German invasion of Norway he attacked Stavanger airfield, and on May 10 bombed the recently captured airfield at Rotterdam. A glider pilot and friend of mine once told me that his aeroclub's club house and hangar at Waalhaven Airport was bombed that day. While the Lufwaffe bombed the field early in the morning, it was an RAF raid that did for the club's fleet. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
