Wouldn't have looked so good though, would it?. I like the 'proper' grab-rail.

At the time they were published the joke about Ted Heath's books was that in years to come, it would be the unsigned ones that were most valuable.

He was just about the most energetic 'book tour' author ever.

I have a broken spar that was reputed to have come from the MC disaster. As the wreck was stored not far from me, it may well be true.

Does jolly well as a flag pole.

Dunno why I bothered to post that, but I've never been that closeto "history"

Current PM - one finger or two?

I heard a story [2nd hand] which TH told at a Cowes Week after dinner speech.
The crew of Morning Cloud were at an RYS reception and the younger members were told not to speak to VIPs unless spoken to.
A young foredeck gorilla was introduced to the Aga Khan, but an awkward silence followed.
To make conversation he said " My mum's got one of your cookers"

Didn't he also win Round the Island 3 or 4 times....outright not just class wins? Jeremy Rogers may have beaten that record by now?

Thanks for the Sparkman and Stephens link.
Yes, the S&S 34 - a lovely design.
Best wishes

Yes - Ted was a very keen competitor - though I don't think he was that successful.

I found these pictures but no more, surprisingly!
Sorry about the small size

Bet he didn't do his own varnishing.
