Waritme icons. Who would you have most liked to share a glass of nectar with?

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.

For that matter, General Eisenhower would be in with a chance also.

Most of all, I would give anything to have my Father back again.

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.

No body said the drink had to be peaceful. You could always get Mountbatten drunk, then knock him off his chair and flail away with fists and feet until he $hit his pants like so many good Canadian men did after his foolish plans were enacted.
