Has anyone seen Herbie?

Herbie - the star of the Disney films in the late 1960s/early 1970s - not in Bangor! Picture courtesy of Pixabay.

What a fabulous night we had at the Aspects Festival in Bangor in September!

As part of #LateNightBangor we were given the wonderful Studio 1a - which belongs to Bangor Drama Club - for the evening and the creative folk from Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive produced an engaging and fascinating sequence of clips of Bangor from the last 60 years or so.

A number of people volunteered to talk to me and I’ll have a full compilation of their wee tiny stories very soon, but one visitor told an incredible story - so incredible that he admitted afterwards that although it IS etched in his memory, he sometimes doubts if it ever happened.

This so resonates with me, possibly some of you too…that recollection from the past that seems so fantastical, so unusual, so amazing or scary that you wonder if it WAS you.

But I would love it if you were there too and could confirm it for me and John….the day Herbie came to Bangor!
