Looking for any information about the family of Albert Fitzwilliam Digby, Who was the partner of a Mr D. Dare in the 1950's and 60's.

Mrs Digby bears a remarkable resemblance to her husband.

Has to be a spoof report. Albert Digby was Dan Dare's faithful side-kick. That must be Mrs Digby and the kiddies back home.

Fert, get away<g>.. They should have a statue of Albert in the Park, alongside that of the Powell statue. Much more famous...

So there should be Ron, there will be grand-kiddies out there who may never know. There should be a movement started, motto: Do It For The Kiddies (of all ages). Albert Fitzwilliam Digby would be a winner! there could also be a little corner not to forget Grommit.

How strange!
Was this in a newspaper?
Was it an April fool?

I think it was in BILLY'S WEEKLY LIAR <g> Glad to see he got back eventually as I have a photograph of him with his aunt ANASTASIA taken in the 1960's.in the parlour of her house in Wigan.
