Historical departure

Particulars

In 1924 Fred Barnes was sentenced to a month in jail for driving in Hyde Park while drunk, in a dangerous manner, and without a licence.

After his arrest Fred Barnes was deemed a menace to His Majesty's fighting forces because a topless sailor had been travelling with him, and he was banned from attending the Royal Tournament; nevertheless he returned each year and successfully evaded discovery.
