First Session Lots 501–951 Monday May 23rd at 2 pm The Charles Harrison Collection of ‘Concorde’ Covers, Cards and Ephemera Charles Harrison (1924–2008) Most people will have their own memories of Concorde but for Charles Harrison, living only a few miles from R.A.F. Fairford, it will be the moment the British assembled Concorde prototype 002 touched down at 2.46pm on 9 April, 1969. Charles watched Concorde fly along the same flight path many times and never tired of hearing the roar of the engines and seeing the aircraft turning over Highworth, his home town, on its approach into the Fairford airfield. At the age of 15 Charles joined the Royal Air Force (1939) as an engineer apprentice and during the Second World War served in North Africa, Malta, Sicily and Italy as ground crew. Not one to miss an opportunity, Charles began to collect autographs from movie stars and entertainers on their visits to the troops. After the war he was stationed in Rhodesia and on leaving the RAF joined Vickers Armstrong at South Marston as a flight test inspector. Around the same time some of Concorde’s future pilots were Vickers Armstrong’s test pilots. In the 1950s Charles was involved with the Supermarine Swift, a single seat jet fighter, which could reach supersonic speed in a slight dive and it is not surprising that this is where Charles interest in supersonic flight and Concorde began. From Concorde’s early days at the Fairford Flight Test Centre to its commercial retirement, Charles arranged through friends and flight contacts for covers to be carried on many of Concorde’s flights including the development flights. He was an ardent collector and it was with great pride and enjoyment that he built this personal and unique collection of Concorde aviation history which also reflects his love of the aircraft. Charles was a founder member of the Concorde Study Circle where he was known as ‘Mr Signature’ simply because he had collected the signatures of so many personalities connected with Concorde on his flown and commemorative flight covers, and he was also a member of the British Aerophilatelic Federation and the Club Aerophilatelique Concorde (France). 9 506 502 505 508 Ex 509 510 507 10 The Charles Harrison ‘Concorde’ Collection 501 ✉ ✈ 1963 to 1970, a small collection of covers, cards and ephemera incl. 1963 Toulouse Concorde cancellation on piece signed by Sir George Edwards, Chairman of BAC and Dr. William Strang Director of Engineering BAC; 1968 Ministry of Technology, Technical Regulations for Concorde Project; two cards signed Henri Ziegler, Aérospatiale President; 1970 Berlin Boeing 2707 card signed by Sir Archibald Russell with handwritten message, etc. (14 items)£200-£250 502 ✉ ✈ 1967 (Dec. 11) Roll Out of First Prototype 001, postcard with a message signed by “Tony Benn, Minister of Technology – A great day for Aviation, 11.12.67 Toulouse”, also a signed handwritten note from Mr. Benn.

TÉMOIGNAGES D’HIER N° 114 - MARS 2018 ET D’AUJOURD'HUI LE MAGAZINE DES INGÉNIEURS DE L’ARMEMENT - N°114 ÉDITO ÉDITO Jérôme de Dinechin, Rédacteur en Chef Au delà du caractère symbolique des dix lustres, cet anniversaire du corps des ingénieurs de l’armement s’est placé de lui-même sous le thème de la transformation. Que de changements vécus, créés, subis parfois et le plus souvent accompagnés ! Les fées qui se sont penchées sur le berceau du corps des IA étaient d’une autre époque. Rappelons-nous : 1968, ce sont bien sûr les révoltes estudiantines non seulement en France mais aussi aux USA ; ce sont les soubresauts financiers qui conduiront à la fin de la convertibilité du dollar en or ; c’est le traité sur la non prolifération des armes nucléaires, et en même temps l’écrasement du printemps de Prague ; c’est enfin l’assassinat de Martin Luther King, de Robert Kennedy… Sur le plan technique, on y trouve les premières missions habitées Apollo, la sortie du Boeing 747 et du Jaguar en attendant celle du Concorde, la première calculatrice programmable HP, le tout dans l’ambiance de « 2001 Odyssée de l’Espace ». Les sociologues aiment à rappeler qu’un groupe humain – et c’est le cas d’un corps, – n’a pas de mémoire. Célébrer régulièrement les événements permet de l’ancrer dans le temps et de re-situer ses questions fondamentales : « Qu’avons-nous en commun ? Quelles relations entre nous ? Que faisons-nous ensemble ? Dans quel but ? » Nous aurions pu dans ces pages évoquer les grandes réalisations… : nos magazines s’en sont fait largement l’écho ces dernières années et la matière ne manque pas.

    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 241 – NOVEMBER 2014 Poppies have been added each day to the moat of The Tower of London from 1st August to Remembrance Day. These photographs were taken in September. 1 Albert Willis, a Chelsea Pensioner, Beefeater Paul Cunliffe, and Captain Joe Robinson, an officer in the Grenadier Guards, paid their respects to the fallen of the First World War at the extraordinary artwork. The artwork, Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, was created to mark the centenary of the start of the Great War. It will eventually include 888,246 ceramic poppies to represent all British or colonial military fatalities of the conflict. It is being created in the moat at the Tower of London and some proceeds from the sale of poppies will go to charity. Dating back to the 17th Century, the Chelsea Pensioners - famous for their red tunic - are members of the retirement and nursing home for former members of the British Army at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, south west London. Beefeaters – or Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, to give them their correct title – are former Army personnel who are the ceremonial guardians of the fortress-turned-tourist attraction. The Grenadier Guards, which date back to 1656, is the most senior regiment of the British infantry. It has a proud history fighting in warzones and guarding the Royal Palaces. Taken from the viewing floor at the top of The Shard, this photo (with maximum zoom) gives a Stuka pilot’s view of HMS BELFAST.
