    His kid's and grandkids would be very proud of Fred. He was a lady killer. Fred was a all rounder. A sad sad day when this great man passed. I miss him but I didn't even know him, strange that. RIP FRED. 🌹

      Lady killer? Is that something to be proud of? I don't get your logic. You're insane.

    I worked in the U.S. doing bridges and high rises. Thought my work was dangerous until I watched Fred not even close.

      Well done for uploading all these films about Fred. I'm from County Meath in Ireland and have been a fan of Fred since a young lad, in my mid-forties now and I love these videos. What a man he was! I would have loved to have met him, but sadly I never did get the chance. Anyway, all the best and keep up the good work. 👍

    I'm not sure if they were demonstrating that he drove his Landy all the way from Bolton to Cambridge and back but if he did then that is an amazing feat in itself!

    Thing is after putting up the ladders he could have easily attached a safety harnesses but he never bothered. Quite amazing really.

      His labourer Donald once said that he never bothered with safety gear as he would have got to rely on it too much!

    Fred seems to be loved and admired by many people, but not everyone was a fan of him. I had a chap pick up an old machine I was selling today and I happened to mention Fred Dibnah, and I expected the usual "oh yeah good old Fred hey.", but his reply was "yeah and abusing his wives". Not sure whether he was meaning his drinking problems but I got the feeling I never liked him.

      Seems like a rumour, although I do recall hearing that he did hit his sons sometimes. Again, that was just a rumour based on comments under a youtube video, it was said that one of his sons posted various details on a forum.
