Astronaut Neil Armstrong famously spoke in 1969 from the moon about a small step for [one] man, one giant leap for mankind. Now there's a Biggs improvement to report in the mobility of one of the world's most famous and elusive criminals.
Ailing jailbird Ronnie Biggs is hoping to be freed soon as he battles back from a string of serious health problems. The 78-year-old Great Train Robber is currently being nursed at Norwich prison after being hit by strokes, heart trouble and high blood pressure. Biggs also has to be fed through a tube.It may be a while before this jailbird goes down and out.
But he can now walk 100 yards without help and can communicate with signs and alphabet boards. And worried relatives claim he should now be released to spend his last days as a free man.
