Re: Rovos Charter returns
And todays' useful information is:
King Zog was King of Albania before World War 2. On 7 April 1939 the Italians invaded Albania and he and his Queen fled, never to return.
From 'A Journey with Rovos Rail'.
Who says you never learn anything on this forum.

Re: Rovos Charter returns
Does that means that the 25NC was named after Rohan's dog which was named after the ex-King of Albania? Or have I missed a step?
Yes, this is a mine of useless information.... and some useful stuff too!
