Hi all! Well, about a week ago I finished Errol and Olivia.What a great read it was hard to put down. every morning for about 1 hour I read the book. I learnt a lot about Olivia's fight with JL She had to be 1 gutsy broad to do what she did and the things he did to her for it. But she won out in the end because of what she done her name will be used in the legal profession for all time to come. The star crossed lovers such as Errol and her were. And the many lovers they had before and since their meeting but she always say's there was that something different about Errol that glimmer in his eyes that had gone when she met him many years layer. And how she slapped his face when he approached her because she did not know her. This book is intriguing stirring, and gutsy. If you have not got your copy all ready get your hands on one. PS and there were some pics I have not seen. Here is the link if you want to get yourself a copy errolandolivia.com…
Regards, Genene.

Hello,
My parents live in Alaska from the early thirties to the mid
forties. My father gave me a piece of the canvas skin of an airplane
bearing the name “Scirroco III”. He told me that it was from an
airplane owned by Errol Flynn that had crashed in Alaska. He happened
on the wreckage and decided to take it as a souvenir.

Did Errol Flynn have such an airplane? It would seem to have been a
small plane from the fact that it had a canvas skin. If he had such a
plane, did he crash it in Alaska?

I received a very pleasant email from Marisa Harris today:
Hi, there,
I was recently doing a search for a specific bit of info on Errol Flynn
for my father who is a big fan. I couldn't find what I wanted online,
but I did come across your blog, which I've put my father on to. It's
great! As an employee of the National Library of Australia, I feel I
have to recommend Trove to you, in case you haven't stumbled across it
yourself:
www.trove.nla.gov…
Reading through the newspaper articles is fun, and please feel free to
go on a correction frenzy as the OCR doesn't always do a great job!
All the best,

I thought this was so nice I should share it with everybody!

I got a couple of nice emails from Theresa who says:
Hi. I love your blog & pick up some of your Jamaica-related Flynn
articles for my blog. I received a comment for you & wanted to get
it to you, so I'm trying to join your blog. Here's the comment
anyway, in case you want to post it or reply!
Great articles!!
Hi John. Loved your Port Antonio history. It’s well-written, too.
Your Part III was extremely entertaining!
Was wondering if you witnessed any ’sign’ of any of the numerous
pathways that were made there by Errol. I’m sure a half century later
they have been overgrown, however I’m curious as to whether there are
any remaining ‘clues’.
Did you ever learn what part of the hotel Errol and Beverly stayed in
when they weren’t at the house on Navy Island?

I wrote and told Theresa I'd love to put the comment on the blog and a link to her website, as well…
She wrote back:
Thanks David. I love, love, LOVE your blog! My site is keepitjiggy.com….
Here's a link to Part 3 of the Titchfield Hotel post; links to Parts
1 & 2 are in the post. I also used Folly Great House and Navy Island! Keep up the fabulous posts! My love is
Portland and Port Antonio, and I love the charming history, so I was
thrilled to find your site. And thanks for including the link!
