Blizzard of 29 March 1952
Ian Currie wrote in message
news  A very interesting account Peter. A casualty of the snowstorm was Winston Churchill whose car became immersed in deep drifts at Biggin Hill and was abandoned. He eventually managed to obtain another vehicle and made his way to Chartwell by a very circuitous route. Another story was the Reading Co-operative Society Choir who sang at the high security prison of Broadmoor in Berkshire. They left by coach and it soon became stuck in the drifts. They had to walk through the snow all night and finally made it to Reading many miles away and they were still singing! Ian Currie-Coulsdon www.Frostedearth.com Dear Mr Currie-Coulsdon. You mean you didn't give one of your many so well publicised talks that day, or even mention it in your November forecast for that winter:-) |

No, unfortunately my cot became stuck in a snowdrift and my mother abandoned
her trip to the local shops. I did make a few shrieks and screams of delight when the 12.55 weather forecast came on! Ian Currie Ian Currie wrote in message ...
