Comments about this page
Ian Duckworth moved to Scotland. He was member of the Ochils Mountaineering Club, Stirling. He was involved in numerous first ascents of Scottish climbs, both in summer and winter. He climbed often with Geordie Skelton. He died in rather sad and unfortunate circumstances.
A search on UKClimbing.com will throw up some photographs.
Thank you for your reply Mr Curling.
I would be most grateful if you could give me more information about Mr Duckworth (the person feature in the player profile)
What happened to Mr Duckworth and his family? Is there any way that I contact them?
I have emailed you a picture of 2nd Lieutenant Ian F Duckworth at info@bathheritage.org.
Thank you again
I’m afraid we have no further information. You might like to search military records if you’ve not already done so.
I would like to know more about Mr Duckworth..Is there any person I can contact who can tell me if Mr Duckworth had served in Singaoore in the 60s.
I’m afraid we don’t have any further information. I wish we did because Ian was a unique character. I can only suggest his Royal Marines Service Records would show whether or not he’d served in Singapore.
