From the Errol Flynn Blog Mailbag!
by
David DeWitt
on Tue 28 Sep 2010 01:12 PM PDT
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 would appreciate any information you might provide.
Thanks, Don
Anybody know anything about this?

Errol in Leeds Castle
by
Aresia
on Mon 27 Sep 2010 09:12 AM PDT
Sorry it's me again... I just received some interesting information from Britain. In 2009, I visited Leeds Castle in Kent and was astonished to read that Errol had been a guest there once. No further information was supplied. Now I contacted the castle directly, and here is what they wrote: "All we know for certain is that Errol Flynn signed the castle's guest book on 17th April 1937; sadly we are not in possession of all the guest books so we do not know if this was a one-off visit, or one of several made to the castle to stay with Sir Adrian and Lady Baillie. We have heard that he took a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy from a litter of Lady Baillie's back to America with him, which was the first of the breed in America. But I am afraid that is about all that is known."
Does anybody know why Errol was in England at that time? Any connection to Spain? Robert, our date expert? You might even supply the castle with information, I think they would be interested in finding out about their famous guest themselves...
Take care!
Inga

Question to the experts
by
Aresia
on Thu 09 Sep 2010 10:30 AM PDT
Dear experts on the blog, Tina and I disagree a little upon a certain picture/scene from a blooper reel from 1944. We would like to know where this scene is from. Tina thinks it is from one of the radio shows, whereas I think it could be from "Gentleman Jim". However, it is not to be seen in my dubbed German version of this film. So maybe one of you could help us? Thank you very muc!  1 AttachmentsMonday, September 6
Vote for EF films to go on DVD
by

on Mon 06 Sep 2010 04:27 AM PDT
Hi! This maybe old news but I just realised on the TCM website you can vote for a movie to be released on dvd. When you search for a movie title and then see the screen for the movie on the right hand side there is a column marked "homevideovote" with how many votes received. So I have now voted on every Errol movie that is not on dvd at present and would encourage anyone to do so if they haven't already. The only exception is I couldn't find "The Sisters", but saw "That Forsyte Woman" has the highest vote. I'm so hoping TCM/Warner will eventually release all remaining EF movies on dvd. One I'm very keen on is "Cry Wolf". http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=3458 Would be very happy to hear if anyone knows that more are to be released? kind regards Diana

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: http://www.trove.nla.gov.au/ 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, M I thought this was so nice I should share it with everybody! |
