George has a very large scar over his left eye that many believe is a result of a motorsport accident . In fact , he got the scar when on his 8th birthday - he was teaching someone to drive a tractor . While teaching him , the tractor accidentally jerked and George fell off and the tyre rode over the side of his head , causing a massive cut that went half way around his head . Due to his extensive travels between Japan and South Africa , he was actually booked on the ill-fated South African Airways Flight 295 , The Helderberg , which crashed off Mauritius on 28 November 1987 en route from Taiwan to South Africa , but missed the flight when his connecting flight from Japan to Taiwan was cancelled due to a typhoon
