[QUOTE="Prosper Keating, post: 10529, member: 1376"] I remember the Times obit. I did one for The Daily Telegraph. The editor of the obituary section was a notorious snob and his initial reaction was: "I don't think we'll be doing anything on an [i]Australian mechanic[/i]". I put him right and they ran the obit, along with a very rare period photo of PEI smiling...which they lost. Wikipedia is a really a bit of a fool's resource. Even if you upload something accurate, some knob can come along and mess it all up. I've had a couple of entire chapters from military accounts I've written put up there by persons unknown and edited by unknowing persons. Still, I suppose Irving ought to be name-checked there. What amazes me is that nobody has ever made a film about this extraordinary man and his exploits. PK [/QUOTE]
