Could your GFather ride before the war? Mine lived in central Edinburgh and I’m sure he didn’t. I presume he learnt as part of his training. He was a telegraphist but served in an Air-line section in the RE.

Yes, so i predict Alan out next, then with one big dog gone(Fry) Ross will go leaving Cat in the final. I’ve not watched the show before but I presume there is one last banishment in the final episode.
