AlienFTM Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I heard about this on Arrse this morning. Apparently he served on the Hood (but not when she lined up against the Bismarck obviously). And he worked with Ian Fleming in intellgence. The French wanted a linguist to be their liaison and Fleming sent Pertwee as a candidate. Pertwee didn't fancy working with the French so he threw the interview. On his return, he asked Fleming what the job was all about really. "To be our man in Tahiti." Oops.

Tony B Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 He actually sailed on the Hood on her last voyage. During the time she was leaving Scapa, he had his CW interview with the Captain 'Tell me about Radio Luxembourg'. He was succseful and was immedaitley put over the side. He also had Jim Callahan as a tea boy in the NI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
