"Vive Carpentier! ' came from a mighty chorus of voices. Paris was still in an ecstasy of enthusiasm; my contest against Joe Beckett, so swift, sensational, dramatic, incredible, remained the wonder of the moment, and as I looked from my window on to the street below I shook and shivered. My father, a man of Northern France hard, stern, unemotional clutched the hand of my mother, whose eyes were streaming wet. Albert, also my two other brothers arid sister made a strange group. They were transfixed. Francois Descamps was pale; his ferret-like eyes blinked meaninglessly. Only my dog, Flip, now I come to think of it all understood for he gave himself over to howls of happiness. This day of unbounded joy so burnt itself into my mind that I shall remember it for all time. "Georges, mon ami," exclaimed my father, " no such moment did I ever think would come into our lives." And I understood. My life, as I look back upon it, has been a round of wonders.

  • 1849-1999 Chapter Four: 1924-1949
    A Picture of the Age: 1849-1999 Written by Graham Citrine to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Christ Church Chapter Four: 1924-1949 .We are now entering an age which will be within the experience of a great many of us - a time of our childhood and our youth, and therefore a time, perhaps, of real nostalgia, for these were our ‘Good Old Days’. Again, my apologies if some fondly remembered event is only mentioned briefly or not at all. The 1920’s were a time of real optimism: people really believed that the Great War was a ‘War to end all Wars’. The great powers seemed to have settled their age-old problems and differences. At Locarno in 1924 the western powers agreed to respect their frontiers (though, significantly, Germany did not accept her eastern frontiers). In 1927, the Kellogg- Briand Pact saw an agreement by all signatories never to use war as an instrument of policy. Germany was accepted into the League of Nations as an equal, and the League was seen as a real hope for a peaceful settlement of all quarrels - old enemies seemed to be making a valiant effort to understand other points of view. In the same vein, nearer at home, in 1929 the coming-of-age of the Boy Scout Movement was celebrated with a Jamboree in Arrowe Park, Birkenhead having seen the first Scout Troop in the world being formed at the YMCA in Grange Road. [(My Scout Master, John Dudleston, had been a Patrol Leader in that first troop!] Boys from every country in the world came together and it was believed that if the nations’ youth buried their differences then peace and understanding on an international scale was possible.

  • Some of My Teenage Memories on the 3
    Some of my Teenage Memories On the 3rd September 1939 war was declared, I was then 12 years old and studying engineering at the South East London Technical Institute. My main interest was in aviation and I spent a lot of my spare time making model aircraft. In 1941 I joined the Blackheath Model Flying club and flew with them at Epsom, the original field at Blackheath being denied to us for military reasons. I cycled from Lewisham to Epsom with a large box containing my aircraft strapped to my back, frequently accompanied by my friends whom I had met whilst at the SELTI. We flew gliders and rubber powered aircraft on most Sundays, weather permitting. The club featured several champion model flyers including Ron Warring, who later became well known in the field of full size aerodynamics another, Derek Piggott became a world champion glider pilot and George Temple a prominent aircraft designer and aero dynamist. Bill White, the club’s secretary, became a pilot and was subsequently killed. There were many others whose names escape me at the moment. In November 1941 the “Aeromodeller” reported that while flying for the Blackheath Model Flying Club I won the Faulkner Trophy with a flight of 54 seconds, flying a Wakefield model in blustery conditions. An early photograph of me with one of my models Apart from designing and making flying models I was also interested in making small scale models. Before and just after the war these were carved from wood to scale plans provided from the “Aeromodeller” and the excellent series of books called “Aircraft of the Fighting Powers.” Later on kits became available and I managed to build up a considerable air force! Page 2 Two pictures of some of my many scale models built over the years Some time after the war about a hundred of these models were sold to a collector, who apparently intended exhibiting them in a museum.
