WELLESLEY VISIT 1938 THOMASTOWN, VIC. 3074. 80 comment With this issue we complete the publication of Volume 19 of the Journal. Now you are being asked to pay your subscriptions for Volume 20, and no doubt many members are irate about the extreme lateness of the publication schedule, and considering whether they should renew or not. You therefore deserve an explanation on the current status of the Journal. I won’t paint an optimistic picture because that is not fact, but the true situation is not as bad as many of the rumours circulating. SUBSCRIPTIONS SECRETARY Why is the Journal late? The reasons are threefold. In the first instance production fell behind the MIKE MADDEN planned schedule. The reasons for this were manyfold, not the most insignificant, being the lack of a steady flow of articles. However, the production of the Journal is the Editor’s responsibility and when it falls behind he must accept the blame. The second reason was an acute lack of funds even when we had something to print. A past administration had committed the Society to quite a large debt and the Com mittee decided that it would be in the Society’s best interests to get rid of this debt as soon as possible: un- EDITOR fortunately this left us with something of a cash shortage, and when Journals were available for publica PETER MALONE tion there was a further delay as they had to wait for funds. -

Comparative Costs of British Cross-Channel Airlines, 1918-1924 Robin Higham

ESTIMATES AND ACTUALITY: COMPARATIVE COSTS OF BRITISH CROSS-CHANNEL AIRLINES, 1918-1924 ROBIN HIGHAMt The two articles that follow are published as an illus- tration of the tremendous strides that have been made in air transportation in the past forty-odd years. Contrast, if you will, the absence of concrete data and the extent of speculation detailed in Dr. Hig- ham's article on the problems of the fledgling British airlines' cross-channel operations, with the statistical detail available to air carriers engaged in international operations today as they plan for supersonic oper- ations. T IS not possible to be definitive about the costs of establishing British overseas airlines for the simple reason that most of the early statistics simply do not exist. Many were allowed to go by default, some companies' accounts are not available or have been lost, and at least one company's rec- ords were destroyed during World War II air raids. -

M.R. LAX October 1995 NOTICE TO READERS OF THE ELECTRONIC VERSION OF THIS THESIS Due to the age and old format of the original thesis computer files (1993-1995), some formatting errors have occurred during transfer to PDF format. These are minor such as a full line separator between text and footnotes on many occasions.

A Re-Write of the World War Two Roll of Honour I Spent Much of the Lockdown Last Year Researching and Re-Writing the World War Two Roll of Honour
A Re-write of the World War Two Roll of Honour I spent much of the lockdown last year researching and re-writing the World War Two Roll of Honour. The reason for a revision 55 years after the original publication is that the Roll of Honour published in 1965, although a wonderful document which paints an affectionate picture of those 161 boys who gave their lived in the Second World War, is sadly short of specific detail of where they served and how they came to lose their lives, although this is not surprising given the shortage of such information at that time. I have updated and extended this moving record, using the extensive information now available on the internet, but also with the assistance of several distinguished and able helpers. The task is complete and the results will, I hope, be available for publication in 2021. There are now 163 names as I have discovered the deaths of Edward Crosse and Cecil Thomas and added their names to the Roll of Honour. All former day boys who joined before 1936 are described as Home Boarders because that name was used until Stanley Powell’s gift of his house to the College. Finally, the fact that the number of names on the Roll of Honour is less than in the First World War cannot pass unnoticed. Perhaps there is significance in the fact that, of all OEs killed in the 1939-45 war, nearly forty per cent were aircrew. Certain it is that our record in the air, for all its grievous cost, gives much cause for pride in the eminence attained and the awards gained by Old Eastbournians.
