At the time i was working at a bookies in Leicester, when word came through of the fire, and the next 5 minutes was gut wrenching, listening to the reports coming in.
Some truly awful images of the day which i still find disturbing.
on a weekend trip to Barcelona , Rafa Benitez was sat in row 3 (only had 3 rows for business class), as the peons such as i were further back, our eyes just met, he nodded, i nodded. nuff said.
Almost hidden in the film 'Those magnificant men in their flying machines" ' is my fathers truck as he parked it up by the finish line by the side of one of the wooden hangars while they were filming.
Somewhere, legend has it, that there is a Ferrari visible as Charlton's having a ride around in a chariot race in Cineccitta, Italy.
The model submarine that escapes the oil tanker at the end of the film........ 2 things there.......... 1st it had the fin number 593 which was the same fin number as the Thresher that sank with all hands, and they put that on as a homage to those that died
2nd.... i owned that model (all 12 feet of) it for 4 years as i was given it during my time at Pinewood in the school holidays
Bonus round......... I also owned one of the 14ft long model german ships that were blown up at the end of the film 'Sea Wolves'
I was given the original Dalek plaster very close up models (4 or 5 of them) after the second movie wrapped. They were designed to be operated by a man with a magnet on a stick under a false floor, very close to the camera or distance shots where their size made them look small, but were closer due to the perspective.
Grinds my gears we didnt take over the Dairy, or BBC site /White City Stadium site.
My dad saw rangers play at White City and although it was getting a bit rough round the edges, he saw in his minds eye the benefit of moving into it, and gently re-building it to the then modern standards, slowly replacing stands etc.
Awwwwww thats so sad, but glad that he saw the 4-0 I found when i was losihg my Dad that this wonderful family we have on here were so supportive. Sorry about David, but i hope your family and mates are rallying round for you. RIP to David
