I have several copies my most treasured a 1st edition, I once gave to Bruce on his 70th.

Nick did Peters death mask and his daughter Kate has some wicked stories about him.


Lawrence wasn't the only "englishman that loves the desert"
Try, William Thesiger he who mapped the Empty Quarter and more all for Queen & Country.



He employed a couple of right tough young Bedu, a right pair of 'camel rustlers...

Ps: Nick & Omar at Peter's funeral.


'They were both drunk!

The big mistake in all Lawrence of Arabia films is they always portray Lawrence's dad as a Baronet 7th class.

These small, but important film inaccuracies are important because they could change history.

Oh! "My best ever No1 film of all time must be Wag the Dog...just saying...
