Here's my two cents worth:<br /> <br />Morley was an occasional guest in the home of my grandparents, Charles and Nellie Adams, at the American University in Cairo, during the early 1940's. I remember her vividly, though I was only eight or nine. During 1941 she signed my grandmother's Visitors book as Morley-Brooke Lister, often on the same day as Geoffrey Hoare, then a war correspondent in Cairo, whom she married in 1942. My understanding, at the time, was that Morley was an ambulance driver in the Western Desert. She visited once with a little girl roughly my age, whom I took to be hers, but who may have been Hoare's, or someone else's. The little girl's chief claim to fame (for me) was a blackened fingernail dramatically hinged on a thin strip of cuticle. By 1945, Hoare was living with Clare Hollingworth, whom he married in 1951. Hollingworth, of course, had a pilot's license and did some parachuting, among other feats. And Hoare went on to write a book about the Macleans. Heady times, strong-minded people....<br /> <br />Cheers,<br />Patsy<br /> <br />P.

If you are interested, he published a book of his western paintings, CHARLIE SCHRIDDE WESTERN IMPRESSIONISM. Google his name in and his website should show up and you can order the book.<br />HarryHarry Borgmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442891906124199120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733912006394316794.post-78078168876531067452011-07-27T09:51:15.481-04:002011-07-27T09:51:15.481-04:00Hi Dougie,

We are trying to research the WWII exploits of Miss Morley-Brooke Lister/Driver whom I think you may have known from the 1960s. She flew bombing sorties with 14 Sqn RAF in 1942. Is there a good way to relate the story to you if you can add anything to it?<br />Thanks<br />DRDougie Roxburghhttp://www.14sqn-association.org.uknoreply@blogger.com
