Has anyone been following the Sydney Morning Herald's Column 8 over the last few days? There's been a bit of back and forward about Lightoller's career, starting of course with the Fort Denison incident and building up to Dunkirk (paraphrasing slightly - I'll see if I can find the exact quote - after receiving all the Lightoller yarns the columnist commented "Is there anything Charles Lightoller couldn't do?"). The Fort Denison incident has gradually entered Sydney lore - it's even mentioned in tours of the Fort, as a member of this board found out a couple of years ago.
