I still can't get over people randomly being excited about Jack Churchill on a non-historical message board. How insanely awesome is that.
Yes of COURSE I still have the letters. They're some of my favorite things I own. They are not, however, on the computer. At the moment, if yall are interested, I will point the way towards the interview I did with the Mr James when I was 15. Never mind the 15 year old writing talents.

Apparently, after all the bish-bosh was over, Jack decided to go off to the antipodes, learn to surf, then came back and was the first person to ride the five-foot River Severn tidal bore. This man was evidently made of 600% more awesome than the average god.

Not nearly as insanely awesome as he was. I'm pretty sure this forum appreciates all kinds of badassery.
