Well, unless my memory is failing me - entirely possible at my advanced age - Harold Bamberg (spelled slightly differently, I know) founded British Eagle or, at least Eagle Airways which became British Eagle. I think he was a contemporary of Freddie Laker - one of that group of ex-wartime pilots who founded airlines with a few quid and a single aeroplane on the back of the Berlin Airlift.

I don't know if there is a connection here but it made me smile to see the two names together like that. If it is a coincidence, it's an interesting one.

Best

Thanks for that Pete.

Just how they popped up in the birthday reminder.
