I have read a story about him driving nails in to his wooden leg on Mess nights and stabbing himself with a set of compasses to gauge reaction during interviews. There was a recent biog of him, but I have yet to see a copy. C&CI didn't review it. Has anyone read it ?

Sorry, this is not an in-depth biography of that period, but Ian has a copy if you're still curious. Regards, Colin > Is there much made of his time with the reformed 3 Wing prior to his > accident?

Very superficial. Written by a family member, need I say more. Reggie deserves better. Rates as a useful beginning for anyone wanting to do a proper research job.
