Very Rare Booty!

10 Jun

Jack Marino writes to us in the EFB Mailbag:

David,

I saw Rare Booty on your blog, what is very rare is that the brick from the corner of Errol’s fireplace at Mulholland is under this figure. I took it from the floor after the house was torn down.

I bought this figure in 1973 painted, it was lead and they made a pewter one which my friend Steve has who was with me the day the Mulholland house was demolished.

Best, Jack

A Note!

04 Jun

Ahoy, the EFB! A new category has been suggested for posts that are thinly related to Errol Flynn. Inga will create the category, and if you have something to post that is not directly about Flynn there will be a place for it. This will give us a chance to talk about Flynn related subjects in one place where no category already exists.

The Errol Flynn Mailbag!

11 May

Hi Errol Flynn Blogsters,

I am a teacher at Albuera Street Primary and we are having our centenary celebrations of the Albuera State School later on this year.  I’ve read on your blog about Albuera and Errol’s attendance there.  Some of the corrections have made it much more accurate.

I don’t know what you have about his time at Albuera but would really appreciate anything you have to share.  I am intending to have some of my students (Grade 5/6) research him and put on a bit of a display (of the things primary school-aged kids can read about and see!).  Again, anything that you could point me to, or indeed if you are Hobartian-based, to come and have a chat with us about, would be brilliant.

I was looking at the sparse, but obviously accurate, enrolment records of Errol Leslie Flynn and it shows the terms he was at the school, the days attended and the line written about him when he left: “Gone to Sydney”.  I don’t know if it was meant as a “Thank goodness he is gone!”

Cheers,

Grant Williams

From The Errol Flynn Blog Mailbag!

07 May

Mark Young, our Author, writes that he discovered an interview of Errol speaking in French to a French interviewer about his film Against All Flags, and a few other topics about his life:

In case you are wondering, yes, Mark is related to the same Young family Errol is related to! He wonders how many other interviews Flynn gave in French? And where are they?
