    APRIL 2, 2019 remembrance ni On This Day 1982 Rear Admiral Sandy Woodward, who was in Gibraltar in HMS Antrim, was given his orders under Operation Corporate. At 2130 he was told that Argentina had invaded the Falklands The next day he sailed South In HMS Glamorgan with 10 ships to meet up as a task force. South African who started The RAF August 2017 marked the centenary of the report to form the Royal Air Force (RAF). The idea of an independent Air Force Page !1 APRIL 2, 2019 from Navy or Army control is now officially 100+ years old, and one key South African statesman, General Jan Smuts, gave birth to it. Today, if you walk into the Royal Air Force Private Club in Mayfair, London you are greeted by a bust of Jan Smuts in the foyer, it stands there as an acknowledgement to the man who founded what is now one of the most prestigious and powerful air forces in the world – The RAF. So how did it come to be that a South African started The Royal Air Force and why the need to have a separate and independent arm of service? Simply put, during World War 1, the British Army and the Navy developed their own air-forces in support of their own respective ground and naval operations. The Royal Flying Corps had been born out of the Air Battalion of the Royal Engineers and was under the control of the British Army. The Royal Naval Air Service was its naval equivalent and was controlled by the Admiralty.

  • Famous and Not So Famous Ows
    Famous and not so famous ows By Tony Maskell OW 49-51 My comments in blue, OW Colin Thurlow 62-65 15 minutes of Fame!? In listing the “famous” Old Worcester’s, there are many who will be left out, there were for instance a number of Admirals, 19 and a further 19 of Flag Rank which could be consid- ered the pinnacle of their profession; 3 Foreign Admirals and 2 Foreign Commodores, plus 6 Lag equivalent Rank in the RAF I have not listed them all. Admiral “Teddy” Evans for instance is well documented elsewhere and is THE “BOYS OWN” example. Captain Superintendent Gordon Steele likewise is well documented. I shall group them in block periods, as they left HMS Worcester. evd Alfred Wardroper (1863) Founder of the Association of Old Worcester’s in 1887, he and his brother Walter were in the first 16 cadets to join the Worcester at the Blackwall Reach in the Thames, they both went to sea in square riggers, but Alfred took holy orders. Admiral Count Heihachiro TOGO IJN (1874) he devastated the Russian fleet at the Battle of Tsushima in 1905. Awarded;- the Collar of Chrysanthemum by the Emperor of Japan and the Order of Merit by the British Government. He gave the HMS Worcester his battle flag, which was returned to the Japa- nese Navy in 2005. LCDR William Ferdinand TYLER RNR (1883); he was a CMDR in the Chinese Imperial Navy and a Coast Inspector of Chinese Maritime Customs, he collected a number of Chinese awards, some from the Emperor and some from the Chinese President.
