Many Vincent people will already know that after leaving the RAF he worked at the Vincent factory from 1946 to 1961.
His work there included building Lightnings and Picador engines.
I know that Jack appreciates getting birthday cards through the post, so here is possibly a last chance for Vincent people throughout the world to make Jack happy by sending him a card in appreciation of his contributions.
Together with his late wife, he was a keen gardener in earlier years, "as a nice change from engineering", so cards on that theme should be welcome.
I shall not put his address on the web site, for obvious reasons.
But I have arranged that cards may be sent to his favourite watering hole - address below.
Cards should preferably be posted to arrive on or before Friday 12 September, to ensure delivery is not delayed by the weekend 13/14 September.
The restaurant staff will collect all the cards and make sure that Jack gets them.
Post birthday cards to:
Jack Lazenby.
