Hmmm, I think it's likely that a good argument can be made that a great tour of pubs could be enjoyed by only stopping into the ones that are owned by celebs... you know about Clarkson's, and May's, but have you heard that Guy Martin bought one?

 

I realized the other day that I haven't heard about anything that Guy Martin's been up to for about 36 months, so I decided to look and see what he's been up to, and learned of the pub first.



It even has a Wall of Death! 




Then, I learned about the WW2 Lancaster bomber that he recently made a show about:


In June of 43, a Lancaster bomber was shot down in the Netherlands, and crashed in IJsselmeer lake. The bodies of 4 crew members washed ashore, but three airmen were never found – their remains assumed to still be in the wreckage of the plane.

In the summer of 2024,  the Dutch government funded attempts to recover the bomber from the lake, and find those missing airmen.

Guy helped build a massive caisson around the crash site, then it was drained to reveal the Lancaster for the first time in 80 years. 


Ian McKellen owns a bar in London too, most likely it's near the theater district... and very expensive.
