It isn't odd when you think about it. Possible Coup d'etat! ...Blown up on a boat!

There you go. Let's not get political.

i not getting political, just thought its odd that even the uk did not make a coin for him as great a man he was,sad ending to his life

As above...that is why he isn't commemorated. He nearly did a treasonous act.

Political business in 1970's. Look into it. Too lengthy to mention here on the forum.

Lord Mountbatten's plimsoles!

Not everyone thinks he was such a lovely chap. But that's political, so I'll say no more except that he was assassinated.
