Good bye, good bye, sniff, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Yeah, I know there´s not much of a connection between Gregory Peck and Concorde, except that Peck has surely been a passenger but still.

Seing as noone here seems to have mentioned the end of Concorde Air France and I just heard that Peck has passed away I decided to mentioned the two in one go.

It´s very sad I think, Gregory Peck was one of my favourite Hollywood actors, and man he was gorgeous, I really fancied him when I first saw him in a film, though I can´t remember which one it was,hmmmm /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Well CJ, I once flew into Honk Kong on a military plane and we parked near a Concorde - it was a sight to behold and one could say that moment was a \"Gregory Peck\" moment. A great actor and a great airplane, both will be missed!!!

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorites.

Don\'t forget David Brinkley. He croaked the same day.

No /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif It really was a long time ago and I´ve seen him in so many films. Moby Dick´s still a great one to watch too and and and.

Right thanks, well if he´s an (american ? ) newsreader from long ago I wouldn´t know his name. When did he do the news?

Years ago. He was definitely a father figure.

no wonder his name doesn´t tell me anything. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Maybe I´d know him if I saw a picture or something, although I doubt it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
