Boats
"Jimmy Dunbar had a
fast open motor boat, possibly
named 'Grey Mist'
He went to Elie in
it, in
the summer. He
was a member of the Royal Forth
Yacht Club which had its Clubhouse at the
top of the Wardie Steps back then."

Cars
"Jimmy
Dunbar also had a Silver
Sunbeam Talbot. I was also a friend of Alan Fairlie who had a dance hall
at the Low Calton. I think he had a sporty
‘Cord’ car
from America, with big chrome exhausts exiting from the sides
of the bonnet.

Motor Bikes
"We
all got motor bikes at about the time as
we turned 16, but University,
National service and work sent us off on
different tangents, never
to meet again.

Planes
"I
went to school at Heriots.
My friend, Donald Knight,
went to Stewarts.
He and later became a test pilot
for English Electric Lightening Fighter
aircraft. I ended up flying a
jet fighter CF 100 in Canada."
