My dad lived a few doors away from him in good ol` Birmingham, when they were both very young, a great shame that he has passed away.

We`ll always remember him for the Auf Wiedersehen pets, and of course the Indy movies.

He appeared twice in Raiders, and then once in the other two.

I looked on IMDB, and he also appeard in quite a few other famous films, such as Clash of the Titans, Red Sonja, Conan teh Destroyer, Robin Hood:- Prince of Theives etc.

Very sad news.

Bomber was always my favourite character in AWP, built like a brick sh*thouse but a big softie. I`d heard Pat was ill - his role in the last series being quite limited - but still a shock to read the news.

Didn`t realise quite how prolific a career he`d had! His airfield punch up with Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark is a highlight of the film for me.

As has been said, Auf Wiedersehen, Pat. :)
