Errol India Rickshaw Accident
20
May
What do we know about the Rickshaw accident? I read his version. Jeffrey Meyer (he had a lot wrong in his book) he spoke of a punch.
Do we have anyone recollection of Errol’s scar? Earl Conrad mention seeing it in his Memories.
I would love some elucidation in merit.

Sittin’ Like Flynn?

At the Belfast School attended by Errol Flynn, they’ve made the star’s old desk a sign of honor. The student with the highest grades of the week gets to sit in it for five days. Desk was identified by a carved inscription on the back: “Errol Flynn, 1926.”
Falsely identied, says Flynn. He remembers the incident and says that he carved his name on the desk in front of him.
…
Here’s how Errol looked circa the time of this alleged desk signing.
A school desk signed in 1926 Belfast by Errol Flynn? I believe that would be Errol’s most rare and valuable autograph … if it indeed ever existed! Perhaps they should have said Australia, rather than Northern Ireland. Or did Errol really attend school in Belfast???? (Possibly before or after his admission into or expulsion from Sydney Church of England Grammar(aka “Shore”)?) I think that would be news to me. In any case, what school, and what happened to the desk/where is it now??

Welcome to Errol’s “circa 1915” childhood home at 60 Duke Street in Sandy Bay, Hobart, Tasmania,
‘A beach, Sandy Bay, was not far away and I was often there, swimming from the age of three. The beach was of hard brown sand, the water freezing cold. Mother was a good swimmer, and she took me there very often.’
– My Wicked, Wicked Ways
Here is the park/preserve at Short Beach in Sandy Bay named in Errol’s honor:

A Sunday Quiz

During his “college” days in London, Errol used to salivate on Sundays for this weekly treat.
Clues:
– He first took a very long walk in formal clothing.
– Before eating he used to mumble a little Latin.
– Evidence is very spotty but the name of this quiz dish may derive from the beloved breed depicted below.
