I had a short chat with him in Winnipeg when I was a young lad, and he was gracious enough to sign something for me. Yes, a pint with him would have been alright. Just going thru all of my old slides and I came across this pic I took of him. Is that his first wife with him? Cheers Rob

I think the minds of Barnes Wallis and Mr Bailey of the bridge fame are the types of fascinating engineering types with whom I would like most to have spoken.

Guy Gibson or Bernard Montgomery would be interesting to meet.

Major General John Hamilton (Ham) Roberts, CB, DSO, MC
The scape goat of Dieppe. A fine and broadly experienced officer who was set up for failure by Dickie Mountbatten. It would be wonderful to pick his mind about life as a subaltern in WW I, the struggle to maintain a professional army through the inter-war years, the amazing tour de France of 1 RCHA in 1940 and, of course, Dieppe.
