Lord Beaverbrook
I was just watching Dad′s Army The Movie
I noticed when Captain Mainwaring was marching his Home Guard troops through a village a sign on a wall that said,
Scrap Paper and Cardboard Wanted
Lord Beaverbrook
It was the Lord Beaverbrook bit that caught my eye. In his time Lord Beaverbrook (Sir William Maxwell "Max" Aitken) had been the owner of Rolls Royce, the Daily Express and the Sunday Express.
The wife of Lord Beaverbrook was of course Lady Beverbrook who on the death of her husband took up horse racing as a pastime and was later the owner of Bustino the winner of the 1974 Doncaster St Leger. Other good horses she owned were Richboy, Bolboy, Sunyboy, Relkino and Petoski.
