I'll always remember with fond memories his eagerness to stripping off his socks and sandals, roll up his trousers and wade into a peat bog to show us some "wemarkable worms".
I met him once at a country show in somerset, a real gentleman....ostracised and hamstrung by the liberal left media for calling Global warming 'Poppycock'...RIP.
It's funny that probably through most of our early lives, Jacques Cousteau and Bellamy introduced to much of what would be called planet and animal awareness. Bellamy's career was largely ended because he didn't believe in the eco fascism and panic that seems to be part and parcel of the modern movements
In 2003, Bellamy told BBC News that he was sceptical about mankind being responsible for rising temperatures and suggested that they might be part of the Earth's natural cycles. He said: "We have got to get this thing argued out in public properly and not just take one opinion." Ten years later, he told the Independent newspaper: "It (global warming) is not happening at all, but if you get the idea that people's children will die because of CO2 they fall for it." That arguing out in public still hasn't happened, hence there's only one opinion that apparently matters. And we're all going to be paying out fortunes, and more, because of it.
A perceptive man with the voice of reason, need a lot more like that these days. J. Cousteau, my childhood hero! Never missed an episode of his underwater world.
Just heard one of Triumph's all time legends has passed over, aged 90. Developement and test rider who became one of their works riders. Famous for his appearances on Slippery Sam 750cc triple, in the late Sixties.
