Amazing bloke, bet he wasn't easy to live with though
True, I was working on a prestige project about twenty odd years ago where we needed to erect a 40 metre high flag pole. That's high!
Anyway as a bit of publicity for the client and Fred we contacted him to be involved with the erection of the pole.
Surprisingly he was keen, full of interest, he wanted to be involved with the project.
Flag pole was ordered, dates planned etc but he pulled out without reason.
But as said above still an amazing character.
