  • LAWRENCE FLETCHER Final and Illustrations
    LAWRENCE FLETCHER – FATHER OF BRITISH ROAD CYCLING? By David Birchall Anyone who knows The Black Anfielders 1 will recognise the name Lawrence Fletcher (illustration 1). It was Fletcher who set the Anfield Bicycle Club on the path it has followed since the 1880s. To his friends he was a “genial, enthusiastic and unassuming gentleman with all the information as to cycling at his fingers’ ends” 2. But there was another side to him: from his cycling exploits alone there can be no doubt that he was single minded, highly competitive, and, on matters of principle, unshakeable. And he conducted his business affairs similarly. The Anfield’s foundations were in place when he joined in 1881. But it was his personality that, as the club history puts it, “set the pattern for the next fifty years of what a good Anfielder ought to be and to do”. His importance to cycling goes far beyond the Anfield, and he deserves to be recognised as one of the key men in the evolution of the sport. He was involved with the creation of the Cyclists’ Touring Club (CTC); and it is thanks to his single-minded opposition to the National Cyclists’ Union (NCU) and his energetic defence of the right to compete on public roads that we have the sport of time-trialling, and, indeed, road-racing today. Early years Lawrence Fletcher was born when cycling was in its infancy. In an interview with Athletic Journal 3 he recollected learning to ride during school holidays in 1872 on his brother’s “Eclipse” boneshaker 4.

Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/375758 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au The Flying Boat Era: Its Role as a Catalyst in the Development of Aviation and Social History in Australia Phillip Martin Madden Bachelor of Aviation with Distinction School of Humanities, Languages and Social Science Arts Education and Law Group Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Master of Arts Research March 2018 Abstract This thesis analyses the significance of the flying boat to modes of imperial British connectedness through aviation, with a specific focus on interwar Australia. The thesis demonstrates the evolution of the flying boats' contribution to Australia’s development through their position at the crucial intersection of the nation’s economic development and military defence. It argues that the flying boats provide a unique lens through which to explore Australia’s changing sense of national and global connectedness in a period of rapid technological change. The significance of flying boats to the commercial and social life of Australia should not be understated. However, recognition of their significance has been diminished by a tendency to focus exclusively on their role during World War II. The result has been to disassociate and understate the salience of the flying boat era as a whole.

  • Three Days of Sleepness Nights by John Taylor
    Three Days of Sleepness Nights By John Taylor The story of Lynne Taylor's successful attempt on the Lands End to John O'Groats and 1,000 miles records Three Days of Sleepless Nights By John Taylor An account of Lynne Taylor's successful Lands End to John O'Groats and 1,000 miles Record Attempts, by a proud father It all started at John O’Groats Hotel last year at the end of Lynne’s successful Lands End to John O'Groats (End to End) ride, when the first thing she said to me as we helped her off her bike, was, “I have to go again Dad, haven’t I”. Lynne’s 2001 years mileage was 17,000 miles of which 1,637 were ridden in time trials and her record ride. She had hoped to get onto the stage at Derby on the RTTC Champions night in the women's Best .All .Rounder Competition, however once again she came just outside the top six. I have to have my say and think that in a question of equality, surely the women should be the same as the men and the top twelve should be taken into account - my own personal view of course and perhaps I’m biased. After going to many club dinners as guest speaker, on her bike wherever possible, Lynne passed the winter of 2001 into 2002. The start of this year was going pretty much the same as the previous year. On a cold and windy day, Lynne’s hilly Elizabethan 21 miles performance putting her on The End to End route a par with the men.

  • The R.101 Story: a Review Based on Primary Source Material and First Hand Accounts
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper No. 2015/02 The R.101 story: a review based on primary source material and first hand accounts by Peter Davison BA(hons) AMRAeS The editorial assistance of Dr Giles Camplin and Mr Crispin Rope is acknowledged. Abstract The airship R.101 was designed and built at the Royal Airship Works, Cardington, under the Imperial Airship Scheme, to shorten journey times to the Dominions. It crashed near Beauvais in northern France at 2.08am on 5th October 1930 while on a proving flight to Karachi (then in India). After hitting the ground, the airship caught fire, killing 48 of the 54 persons on board, including the Secretary of State for Air, Lord Christopher Thomson. This paper describes the development of the R.101, the background to the Imperial Airship Scheme, the accident and the subsequent Inquiry, largely through quotations from contemporary documents, both official and personal, and interviews with people involved. Preface This paper is the result of a long period of research into the circumstances relating to the Imperial Airship Scheme and the loss of the R.101 in October 1930 during a proving flight to India. Rather than subject myself to the limitations of commercial publishing and with regard to the limited market for the subject at this depth, the authors have decided to place unbound copies with the major archives in the UK for the benefit of future researchers. The paper cannot be conclusive due to uncertainty over the precise cause of the accident and the loss of all those on board with detailed knowledge of the final few minutes over France.

  • Poole Flying Boats Celebration (Charity No.1123274) PFBC Archive
    Poole Flying Boats Celebration (Charity No.1123274) PFBC Archive: Our Charity is committed to developing & maintaining its Public-Access Archive… For the purpose of this website a brief selection of items together with information have been provided where references in blue indicate further material is available. Á Part Two: Approaching the Dark Days of War... ‘The Fleets are in at Poole’ © PFBC In the aftermath of the Munich crisis of 1938, decisions were made by the Air Ministry with Imperial Airways Limited , that in the advent of war, it would be necessary to establish an airport for Flying Boats away from Southampton Water . It was regarded that this would be a target for enemy attacks by the Luftwaffe - with many important sites located there. Various options were considered, and discounted due to rail connections with the length of time in travelling to London. With its expansive natural harbour, its channels, backwaters and islands, Poole was an unsurprising and ideal selection, for it was also substantially quieter than a busy deepwater port, with its installations, manufacturing & heavy industries. There were also the essential mainline rail links to London, and a variety of routes running northwards and to the west.
