That would be Douglas Bader...

It certainly is BG.   Of you go.

Group Captain Sir Douglas Robert Steuart Bader, CBE, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar, DL, FRAeS was a Royal Air Force flying ace during the Second World War. He was credited with 22 aerial victories, four shared victories, six probables, one shared probable and 11 enemy aircraft damaged. Bader joined the RAF in 1928, and was commissioned in 1930. In December 1931, while attempting some aerobatics, he crashed and lost both his legs. Having been on the brink of death, he recovered, retook flight training, passed his check flights and then requested reactivation as a pilot. Although there were no regulations applicable to his situation, he was retired against his will on medical grounds. After the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, however, Douglas Bader returned to the RAF and was accepted as a pilot. He scored his first victories over Dunkirk during the Battle of France in 1940. He then took part in the Battle of Britain and became a friend and supporter of Air Vice Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory and his "Big Wing" experiments. In August 1941, Bader baled out over German-occupied France and was captured. Soon afterward, he met and was befriended by Adolf Galland, a prominent German fighter ace. Despite his disability, Bader made a number of escape attempts and was eventually sent to the prisoner of war camp at Colditz Castle. He remained there until April 1945 when the camp was liberated by the First United States Army. Bader left the RAF permanently in February 1946 and resumed his career in the oil industry. During the 1950s, a book and a film, Reach for the Sky, chronicled his life and RAF career to the end of the Second World War. Bader campaigned for the disabled and in the Queen's Birthday Honours 1976 was appointed a Knight Bachelor "for services to disabled people". He continued to fly until ill health forced him to stop in 1979. Bader died, aged 72, on 5 September 1982, after a heart attack.

Fred Hollows

What is is his main claim to fame?

Sir Edmund Barton, our first Prime Minister.

Thank Graham.   Who is this ?

Thought she'd be gone by now.  An Aussie Icon in her day.

People loved her Voice.                   She was a Queenslander.

If you don't get her this time, you never will.    She was born in Bundaberg. 

With that clue is she Gladys Moncrieff (sorry I've been busy with my daughters computer her hard drive has died and she has lost her data)

You got her Sandy.  Off you go.

) Gladys Moncrieff was born on April 13, 1892 in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia as Gladys Lillian Moncrieff. She was married to Thomas Henry Moore. She died on February 8, 1976 in Benowa, Gold Coast, Queensland

Thanks Sheba now who is this guy

Hi Tony I am familiar with using a Ubuntu live CD but I don't think it will do the trick in this because I was able to get into a command prompt and her user profile along with her documents are gone. Under Users there is only public. Maybe Recuva on USB or one of the free recovery trials might dig a bit deeper. I tried yesterday putting her hard drive as a slave on my computer and all I got was a blue screen. I don't hold out much hope but she will have to wait a few days as I don't have a lot of time at the moment.

Alexander Fleming.

You're too good Sheba I thought this one would be a hard one over to you for a pic

Sir Alexander Fleming FRS FRSE FRCS^[1] (6 August 1881 11 March 1955) was a Scottish physician and microbiologist, best known for discovering the world's first broadly effective antibiotic substance, which he named penicillin. His discovery in 1928 of what was later named benzylpenicillin (or penicillin G) from the mould Penicillium rubens is described as the "single greatest victory ever achieved over disease."^[3][4] For this discovery, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain.^[5][6][7]

He also discovered the enzyme lysozyme from his nasal discharge in 1922, and along with it a bacterium he named Micrococcus Lysodeikticus, later renamed Micrococcus luteus.

Fleming was knighted for his scientific achievements in 1944.^[8] In 1999, he was named in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century. In 2002, he was chosen in the BBC's television poll for determining the 100 Greatest Britons, and in 2009, he was also voted third "greatest Scot" in an opinion poll conducted by STV, behind only Robert Burns and William Wallace.

Thanks Sandy.  Who is this ?

C'mon guys.  Some of you must have seen the classic Aussie. movie she was in. 

Rosalie Kunoth-Monks from the film Jedda

Wow !!!  I certainly didn't think it would take this long, but I didn't want to drag it out too long.  I knew when I made the Movie reference some-one would get it.

Off you go Sandy.  Who do you have for us? 

Rosalie Kunoth-Monks OAM, also known as Ngarla Kunoth, is an Australian film actress, Aboriginal activist and politician.

Hi Sheba I haven't been on that much as I have been a bit busy. Sometimes it gets slow here and others there are plenty of players anyway this guy might be a bit hard without clues.

Is he a Pollie ?

He was a child actor. I'm pretty sure he didn't enter into politics.

I thought he would be tricky. Imagine Donald Trump when he was a little boy.

I think it might be actor, Jay North..

You have him BG over to you for a pic

Jay North (born August 3, 1951) is an American actor. His career as a child actor began in the late 1950s with roles in eight TV series, two variety shows and three feature films. At age 7 he became a household name for his role as the well-meaning but mischievous Dennis Mitchell on the CBS situation comedy Dennis the Menace (1959-1963), based on the comic strip created by Hank Ketcham.

As a teen North had roles in two Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature films: Zebra in the Kitchen and Maya. He also starred in the NBC television series adaptation of the latter film, also titled Maya. As an adult he turned to voice acting for animated television series, voicing the roles of Prince Turhan in the Arabian Knights segment of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour and a teenaged Bamm-Bamm Rubble on The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show.

After leaving show business he disclosed the truth about the difficulties he dealt with as a child actor. He began working with fellow former child star Paul Petersen and the organization A Minor Consideration, using his own experiences as a child performer to counsel other children working within the entertainment industry.

Early life

North was born in Hollywood, the only child of Jay and Dorothy (née Cotton) North.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]} North's father was an alcoholic, and his parents' marriage was stormy.^[5][7] When he was 4, his parents separated, and North never saw his father again.^[5][7] For a short time Jay resided happily in Birmingham, Alabama. Later, as a single mother, Mrs. North went to work as the secretary to the West Coast director of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) to support Jay and herself.^[4][5][7][8]

From a young age, North was a fan of television, and when he was 6, his mother used her connections at AFTRA to arrange for him to appear on his favorite television program, local Los Angeles children's show Cartoon Express, hosted by "Engineer Bill".^[4][8] This appearance caught the attention of prominent Hollywood talent agent Hazel MacMillan, who, impressed with North's photogenic looks, contacted his mother the following day offering to represent him.^[4][5] Mrs. North, who was aware of the stories of troubled former child stars, had reservations, but eventually gave her approval.
