My other half things that ‘Old Falk’ should have met the same end as his dog did.
“Tempt him down to the river with a piece of chocolate, drop it on the ground when he bends down to pick it up shoot him in the head, punt his corpse into the long grass and forget about him.”
I like the idea he suffered a long slow painful demise.

What a nasty pair you and your 'other half' are! Do you share the same head?
The totally inaccurate quotes from the book are very likely libelous. It is certainly not what Chris Newton wrote in his excelent biography (even though you got the title wrong for this thread). The book provides thoughtful reading and is perhaps not for the intellectually challenged or dyslexic reader, as much would be open to misinterpretation.
The full story is in "Some of it was fun" - published posthumously 2003.
This post quoted from the Sea trout forum section sheds more light. far from being 'punted into the long grass and forgotten' Falkus' ashes were laid to rest with his beloved 'dog'.

Falkus told the camera: "I can pass this spot without regret. I gave that dog as good a life as I could, and when the time came, as quick a death."
This was by the big sycamore at 'Meadow Dub'
Hugh's ashes and his wife's are also buried at the same spot.

EDIT. Falkus shot down at least two German fighter aircraft before being shot down on the morning of his final mission.
Ref. the rather distasteful "conker" quote. Would d j vass care to enlighten us: what page exactly is it printed, or is it just another unfounded libel?  |
