...Sabbath calm at turreted Windsor Castle, where King George, Queen Elizabeth and their daughters were spending the weekend, was shattered last week as the castle was "bombed" in a mock air-raid.

Of the same stout Cumberland strain that produced famous Bounty Mutineer Fletcher Christian, Errol is the son of Zoologist Theodore Thomson Flynn, of Queen's University, Belfast. As a child in Ireland he played with Fletcher Christian's sword, knew his 18th-Century cousin's renown from yellowed family documents and a curly-wigged chromo that hung over the mantel.
