DrBob Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 This wonderful man was Chancellor at the University of Birmingham and presented me with my degree in 1982. My name was called, I went up on the stage and shook his hand, receiving the certificate with the other. He was familiar to many of my generation from his TV work, he was not a big man but imposing in full academic regalia: he was, of course, a serious academic. He said something like "Well done, lad" or "Well done, my boy", a warm, manly, handshake and then back to my seat, trying not to smirk like an idiot. Thirty three years later, the mention of his name still produces a little warm glow............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGoose75 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Like the majority of Wildfowlers' I would also be a fan of Peter Scott and his works. I would have been aware of most of what the article has said' but enjoyed reading it all the same. One thing that does stand out however' especially since it is a shooting related article' is the photo of his Self portrait. I have read somewhere or another that it is common for the likes of the WWT and rspb when using the photo ' to omit the Gun across his lap. Maybe it would have been better for the Article to Contain the full photo with Gun and cartridge belt visible..! I am in no way attempting to High jack your thread and hoping this may add rather than detract from it . I had some footage of a documentary that featured P.Scott on VHS and I copied it on to DVD and uploaded it. There is some talk of his Wildfowling days by his Wife and friend' I think in the first link. some may find it of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
