Re: He was also a biker.
The French TV channel TF1 presented yesterday an excellent and touching report about Captain Tom. What an excellent initiative, and what a success, due to his charisma. Low hat Mr MOORE !

Re: He was also a biker.
Thanks for the link Ron, guess I just missed the news reports but now fully up to speed.
Certainly a game old chap and deserving of full recognition for his magnificent effort.
Any know how many miles his trek equates too?
Cheers ‘Sir' Tom.

Re: He was also a biker.
Haven't seen a distance equivalent though the event has become symbolic of his grit and determination rather than the laps done.
He is due a Spitfire flypast on his 100th birthday, coming up on the 30th April.

Re: He was also a biker.
Interesting program on ITV last night, showed Sir Tom as a true Motorcyclist, not enough time spent on the motorcycles, the only other person I recognised was Ben Walker from Bonhams.
