His company was called Tyne Canoes it was originally founded on the tyne before moving south. The company made both kayaks and canoes. Including one and two seat folding ones
An interesting character and good bloke. The good type of immigrant, clearly neither English, Celtic or British in any way, but adapts to British life and makes a valuable contribution to British society, without trying to forcibly turn their new home, into their old one (warts and all), against the will of the majority of the native population
Well, it's inetersting to see the types of programmes that The BBC have made during the course of the 20th century, it's a shame we don't the enjoyment of watching such programmes here!..

This is the kind of story we need right now.
He moved to the UK in 1933 from Germany due to his family being jewish. He passed away in March 1986, he was canoeing with a friend on that day.
Charming man, and a delightful story. What a wonderful way to commute!
That reminds me. Get a kayak with my pint of milk next time I'm in Lidl. ....and a chainsaw, plasma cutter, spot welder, gold smelter...
Don't forget your dark matter, weapons grade plutonium, mustard gas and easy peel oranges
And what happened to the accordion and unicycle?
Good to see HS2 rail project progressing well.
And when it rains he wears one of those umbrella hats
Wonderful indeed!
How peaceful was the UK!
it's well worth a google of this guy as he had a very interesting life, escaping the Nazi's and moving to England in 1939.
peaceful until there's a storm! great idea though
I can't think of any kayak brands, canoe? ❤

Doesn't get to work as he's stopped by police and advised to avoid the demonstration as he's "openly Jewish".
