Norman Bird Facts
Demobbed from the Royal Air Force in 1947, he appeared with repertory companies in Henley-on-Thames, Dundee and Northampton.

Grew a moustache to qualify for older character parts as it became evident that he was not being considered for those as a leading man.

His wife, Nona Blair, was the voice of Joan Burton in 104 episodes of "The Archers", the world's longest running radio soap (29 May 1950 - present).
