As a child who was it spreading the rumour? Now 50 years on do you look back and reflect if they were knowledgeable? (leans to weighing up on whether they were credible or not) What did they do? What was their "inside" track to know the workings of the Haig Fund, the Haig Charitable Housing Trust and the Royal British Legion?
All the above I would have thought obvious questions to reflect on before throwing a scurrilous rumour out again for discussion. Another obvious move if the prospect bothers you would have been to write to the Haig Fund/RBL and ask them - kite flying one of your hobbies is it?
