I can see Arthur C Clarke name being mentioned again, there was speculation when he was alive but faded.
good point except : there is no-one or estate left to sue.
I knew Clarke and he was suing 2 NGOs for libel but the lawsuits died with him.
Clarke's estate has been distributed to his life long partner but his papers and manuscripts including some unpublished works are all lying gathering dust in his Sri Lankan house.
They were meant to go to the Smithsonian. But it's all owned by his partner.
## David Hill was an orphan who was sent to Oz and brought up in Fairbridge where the claims emanate from.
He eventually became a Labor MP and then the Chairman of the ABC.
I've read his diaries and he describes his time there as very happy and that those who looked after him were kind to the kids (as he sees it).
He aknowledges that 2 former students told him they were abused by Slim but he also says he once went in Slim's Rolls for a ride but about 8 kids clambered into the car.
Sir William visited Fairbridge twice...what is the likelihood of him being alone ( this was the GG remember..Aide de Camp, teachers, head master) with just one kid and taking him for a drive ?. Slim i'd say.
Interesting post Hedda. There may be nothing left his of the estate, but people will come out the wood work and sell their story to the media, we never know the truth just speculation. |

At least it was a Rolls he was abused in, surely there is a compo claim here against RR |
