readyrick Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hi, there was a British film [about 90 mins] made about his escapades in 1949 with Michael Martin Harvey. It was a pretty low budget affair, but fairly atmospheric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elenac Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 When the Fire/Police museum first set up their display I was contacted and asked if I could supply them with a railway signal arm. Apparently when he jumped from the train (somewhere near Brancliffe Junction) he was knocked out when he hit a signal post and was then re-captured!
