Historian Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Just read some total nonsense on wikipedia about John Lloyd supposed brother of Wally and Jeff, he has absolutely no conection to the Lloyd brothers, John Peregrine Francis Lloyd came from a high flying very well off family from Edgbaston, Birmingham. A commitee member of the Birmingham MCC (Greet Motordrome) Also a member of the West Bromwich flying club, flew his Bride to Paris for their honeymoon in his own plane, cant trust Wiki John Peregrine Francis Lloyd, a bio of his life can be found on good ole google Edited October 3, 2021 by Historian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
