Falcon, maybe you mean George Macintyre, he was sports editor but left the day that Iraq invaded Kuwait. He had moaned for years that nothing ever happened in Qatar and hours after he left the country all hell broke loose. Victor Lambourne was the main photographer in those days. I wrote the darts reports (QIDL & MPDL)for a short time.
Interesting name (Falcon). You wouldn't be a falcon pilot by any chance?
