I am based at Queen’s University Marine Laboratory Portaferry County Down. I noted a couple of times on the pages about TT Flynn that Queen’s University Dublin was given as his place of work – this should be Belfast. He had a holiday home on the west shore of Strangford Lough (still standing). The present QML buildings have expanded greatly since his time in Portaferry. There were some elderly people in Portaferry who told me that Errol used to visit the area while his father was Prof. of Biology in Belfast. Have you any evidence of the son’s visits to Kilklief (holiday house), Portaferry (marine laboratory / classes), Strangford Lough?
Many thanks,

Daryl adds in another email to me: “The optimum outcome would be a father/son photograph taken somewhere around Strangford Lough.”
If anyone can help locate such a photo it would, I a sure, be greatly appreciated. An idea they have is to fund-raise for the Errol Flynn Memorial Laboratory… However, “As it stands, we are contemplating renaming some of the present laboratory rooms in the buildings – and as
he [TT Flynn] was our founder, one of them would be the Flynn Lab…”

THE GOAL
The historic and unique quality of Cuban Story is a valuable contribution to History. Help us save the film for posterity by donating to our worthy cause!
* Cuban Story was the first film to show Castro’s face to Russia.
* The existing film is 50 minutes and shot in classic black and white.
* The film material is held at the Academy of Motion Pictures in LA.
INFO-BITE: The prior Head of the ICAIC Archives in Cuba saw the film and stated that most of the material is unique and not available even in the ICAIC archives!
Even if you can’t donate, you can still be a crucial part of this campaign. Please spread the word about Cuban Story: the re-mix by liking it on Facebook or posting about it on Twitter. We hope you enjoy and are as amazed as all when you see it.
See more on the Website!
