    Simon Ward - Aces High film

    Actor Simon Ward, who amongst other things starred in the WW1 film Aces High, has died aged 70 after a long illness. He will be remembered as the pilot (Crawford, i think) who in the film claimed to be suffering from Neuralgia, to avoid going out on flying missions whilst attached to a squadron on the front line flying SE.5's (replicas). He also starred in Judge John Deed and more recently in The Tudors.

    RIP Simon.

    One of the earliest film I remember seeing Simon Ward in, was Young Winston

    He was good in the Tudors as Bishop Stephen Gardiner

    RIP

    Aces High is one of my all-time favourite films. I recently acquired the novelisation of the film from eBay.

    RIP Simon.

    That's was the first film I recall him in.
    I enjoyed his work.
    There are two sides to every story. The truth is usually somewhere between the two.

    As a young James Herriot alongside a brilliant Anthony Hopkins as Siegfried.
