All on a diet of fish and chips lol
I used to get an Oor Wullie book or the Broons instead of fireworks, loved them both, also I'm not Scottish but liked them anyway, Jings, ma boab.
long before the Victor him and his navigator George Bourne were in the Wizard, and like the Rover, Adventure and Hotspur were stories only, no illustrations. I once read an autobiography of a Canadian pilot's experience of his time in the RAF flying Mosquitos on escort and pathfinder missions, and he claimed Braddock was a real person !!!!
aaaah the Rover, and his time flying Lancs were in his early days which i missed, his later career was in Mossies. Six stories every week, in each comic, about 6 pence each (?) printed in Manchester, never the same after the switch to the illustrated versions, The Eagle sponsored a national table-tennis competition with the semifinals at the YM in town where i lost to a young Jewish lad who went on to win it.
