Worked for Timothy Knatchbull, He was the surprising twin on Louis Mountbatten's boat when it was blown up by the IRA. also had Lord and lady Harris... ****'s

also had a explorer called Neil McGrigor who is credited for locating the source of the river Nile. His boat and party was attacked on their first attempt and he was shot in the leg. I didn't realise at the time he had even gone away until I met him on the lawn one day with his leg in a cast

I asked him what had happened and his reply (which I'll never forget) was

"I was shot in the bloody leg!!" Great guy really :)
