  • The Second World War 1939-45
    CHAPTER 3 THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-45 MAP MODIFIED FROM ATLAS OF WARFARE: NATKIEL & PIMLOTT In the First World War, the aeroplane was in its infancy and, for all the strides made in development, it remained an ancillary of land and sea operations. The Second World War, however, brought air power to its maturity; the aeroplane became a decisive weapon and the outcome of both land and sea battles depended upon air superiority. 91 THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-45 Between 1939-45 the RAF was in the forefront of the exercise of air power; it prevented an invasion of Britain; it supported British Armies in North Africa, Italy, NW Europe and the Far East; it fought continuously over the seas around Britain, over the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean and over the Indian Ocean; and it played a major role (together with the US Army Air Force) in the strategic bombing offensive against Germany. Of the major air forces of the Second World War, the German, Italian, Japanese and Russian were organized and equipped primarily to support their respective armies on the ground; only the RAF and US Army Air Force had well-developed plans for the independent use of air power in maritime and strategic bombing offensive roles. THE LUFTWAFFE From the first to the last day of the war in Europe, the major opponent of the RAF was the German Luftwaffe. Since the RAF and the Luftwaffe were locked in combat for so long, it is worth looking briefly at their plans for an air war at the start of the Second World War.

  • A History of Bentley Priory Open Space
    Some Notes on the History of Bentley Priory Open Space When the Bentley Priory estate was broken up in 1926, Middlesex County Council bought 90 acres of the site for use as public open space. The land was subsequently transferred to the GLC and then, in 1968, it came into the ownership of the London Borough of Harrow. The Harrow Natural History Society (HNHS) was formed in 1970 and the following year its members began to survey the area and record the flora and fauna. In 1973 they designed a nature trail to guide visitors around the site, at that time known as Bentley Priory Common or Park, which did not include Summerhouse Lake. The first journal of the HNHS, produced in 1973, contained a map and description of the nature trail. There was also an account of the flora of the common and the first of two articles by Alan Tinsey, describing the results of his survey of Boot Pond. Alan’s second article, and an updated description of the nature trail, appeared in the 1974 journal. A list of the birds that had been recorded in Harrow included observations made on Bentley Priory Common and on Summerhouse Lake. By 1973 plans were afoot to have the area around Summerhouse Lake declared a Nature Reserve. These finally came to fruition in 1975 and an article in the HNHS society journal of 1976 describes how this happened. Here are some extracts from this article. There had been much controversy concerning the fate of the lake. The lake was just a lake as far as the maps were concerned and it did not possess an official name.

  • Harrow Council on the Proposed Warding Arrangements As Part of the Current Phase of Your Electoral Review of the Borough
    Legal & Governance Services Director – Hugh Peart Andrew Scallan Lead Commissioner The Local Government Boundary Commission For England 14th Floor Millbank Tower Millbank London SW1P 4QP 8 October 2018 Dear Mr Scallan, Electoral Review of London Borough of Harrow Please find enclosed the submission from Harrow Council on the proposed warding arrangements as part of the current phase of your electoral review of the Borough. It consists of a narrative report, a Borough map with our proposed ward boundaries and a spreadsheet which includes the electorate forecast figures for each proposed ward. This submission was approved at a meeting of the Council’s Licensing and General Purposes Committee held on 4 October 2018; the Committee has delegated authority to determine matters related to electoral arrangements in the Borough. As required by the procedures established by the Commission, the submission is based on the Council size of 55 councillors, the figure the Commission agreed it was “minded to” recommend. However, at the meeting, certain Members expressed their concerns at the proposed reduction in the number of councillors and, in particular, its implications for the democratic representation of local residents in the future. The Committee resolved to request the Commission to reconsider its view on the appropriate Council size and agree to retain the current number of 63 councillors for Harrow Borough. Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely, Elaine McEachron Democratic Electoral & Registration Services Manager Tel: Email: address Democratic Services, Harrow Council, Civic Centre PO Box 2, Station Road, Harrow, HA1 2UH web fax www.harrow.gov.uk 020 8424 1557 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Warding Pattern Submission for Harrow October 2018 2 Contents Introduction ........................................................................................................................

  • Ecological Management Plan: Bentley Priory Open Space
    Ecological Management Plan: Bentley Priory Open Space London Borough of Harrow April 1 2014 through March 2019 Preamble Bentley Priory Open Space includes a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest and is part of an area registered as a Grade II Listed Park and Garden. This is a five-year ecological management plan which defines the approach and prescribes actions needed to maintain this nationally important site. A management plan is a living document and not intended to be rigid in nature. It must be responsive to changing circumstances e.g. feedback from biodiversity surveys and any other on-site monitoring might become available which would necessitate a change in management practices. Such changes might be required to maintain or enhance the species interest and condition of habitats within the units which comprise the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) or to maintain and restore the heritage value of this important landscape. Restoration of part of the site (Furze Heath and the Greensward) is currently underway via Heritage Lottery Funding (HLF). This includes re-establishment of nationally important species-rich grassland. Funding is due to expire in June 2015. Bentley Priory Open Space is to be entered under the Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) scheme (which is administered by Natural England). Payments received under the scheme should help finance management of the site for the next 10 years. Generally, management prescriptions under the scheme should link with prescriptions in this document however, some tweaking of detail could be required. HLS payments are not applicable to the area currently being funded by HLF.

Personnel from units with whom Prince Philip had a special relationship assembled in the Quadrangle of the fortress as a Grenadier Guards bearer party moved the Duke’s coffin from the State Entrance. The representative detachments included 89 members of the Royal Air Force, 42 Royal Navy sailors, 96 Royal Marines and 507 soldiers.

  • The Royal Air Force Museum Has Been Working with the Bentley
    The Royal Air Force Museum has been working with the Bentley Priory Museum to review the Bentley Priory collection which came into the possession of the Museum in 2008. When Bentley Priory was closed by the RAF in May 2008, the Royal Air Force Museum was asked to collect the objects that related to Bentley Priory’s history and role in the Battle of Britain. In total, 525 objects were collected and it was decided at the time to accession these into the collection to safeguard items deemed to be of historical, cultural and national significance. With the opening of the Bentley Priory Museum in January of this year much of the material had been returned to the site, on loan, to be displayed. With the Royal Air Force Museum embarking on Collection Review it was decided that it was a prudent time to include the items that came from Bentley Priory as part of the process. Through discussions between staff at Bentley Priory and our curatorial and collections management team here it has become clear that for the majority of the material, Bentley Priory Museum is a relevant and rightful repository. The material we have loaned helps interpret the story of the people and the place during the uncertain days of the Battle of Britain. Up until the loan to Bentley Priory, most of this material had been held in storage. There will be some items that RAFM wishes to retain and an agreement has been made with Bentley Priory that these artefacts will be placed on loan. The list below details the first batch of material to be transferred to the Bentley Priory Museum.
