FLEW ATLANTIC
TO SEE GRANDMA For most London children a visit, to grandma’s is a matter of a bus or train ride. But Gordon’s and Roy’s grandparents live across the Atlantic, and it was a mighty Douglas Skymaster that whisked them away from London Airport .and set them down a day later in Winnipeg. Gordon (10) and Roy (4) are the sons of Mr and Mrs Eric Hillier, of Clapham Park. Their mother, who has just brought them safely home, was visiting her parents for the first time since she came to England 14 years ago to act in films and on the London stage under her maiden name of Margot Davidson. “My husband couldn’t go with us,” she said, “but Mother was anxious to see the boys. As she had been seriously ill, I felt it was high time I did something about it.” The boys had a huge fuss made of them in Canada.
