"Jimmy did some big deals after the war." The retired writer for the East London Pioneer, who still has the notebook from his early 1960s interview with Sowerbutt, said: "Petrol was scarce with the currency restrictions and civilians didn't get their allocations back until '48. With his cash reserves from the war, he invested thousands of pounds in petrol, bought from the GIs. He stored it in tanks on the disused airfields and sold it off for a fortune."
