Of interest in the early 60's used to enjoy a few pints in the Ballacraine.The then landlord,who latter became the landlord of the George Castletown relayed the story of how they removed the door/window which fronted the course and replaced it with a balsa wood mock up so George or his stunt man could crash through into the bar.
When George Formby was'nt playing his ukelely or messing around on motorbikes on the IoM him and his wife were messing around near me on the Norfolk Broads They had a house at Wroxham with river frontage where he moored his cruiser.
