I didn't know his middle name was Neville. I always thought he was just Barnes Wallis...

Barnes Neville Wallis it is - you learn something new every day...

[edit]Obviously picked up some duff gen from an apparently reliable website...

Barnes Neville Wallis it is... and hence my original post has been modified and probably doesn't make sense anymore! ;D

If your first name was Neville you wouldn't want anyone to know about it either. ;D

Interesting though. :)

Oh I don't know. My hero Neville Duke was as famous as a film star during the 1950s. It didn't seem to bother him then & still doesn't.

It was actually his second name.
