It is said in well-inform- ed quarters that David Lloyd George, the War Sec- retary, has tendered his resignation, which has not yet been accepted. Premier Holds Conferences. Premier Asquith left town yesterday, but returned this morning and through- out the day there have been consulta- tions and meetings of party leaders at the Premier's residence. Mr. Lloyd George had a long consul- STABILITY tation with the Premier this afternoon. Other visitors were A. Bonar Law, sec retary of the colonies, and the Marquis of Crewe, lord-preside- nt of the council. Sir Edward Carson and Mr. Law ap- peared together and addressed a morn- ing meeting of the Unionist commit- tee, while the Earl of Derby, under- secretary for war, had a long interview 6 Mr. Lloyd George.

His resignation, adds rC Standard and Electric the paper, has been delayed at the re- quest of several ' of his colleagues in the cabinet, but there is little prospect of success on their part.

  • Zeppelins Over Trentham
    Zeppelins over Trentham Zeppelin raids had taken place at points across the country from 1915, but it was believed that the Midlands were too far inland to be reached by airships. On 31st January 1916, the area was taken by surprise as a number of airships reached the Midlands. One was seen over Walsall at 20.10 and another attacked Burton at 20.30. Lighting restrictions were not in force at the time, so the local area, including the steelworks at Etruria, were lit up. A zeppelin approached from the south and was seen over Trentham. Frederick Todd, the Land Agent for the Trentham Estate, reported that: “At least two zeppelins, who were evidently making their way to Crewe, dropped seven bombs at Sideway Colliery without much damage - they missed their objectives which were the Power House, the by-products plant, and the pit-head installation.” They made craters, but caused no injuries or loss of life. Following this raid, precautions were taken, with blackouts and restrictions on lighting. In 1915 Trentham Church reported spending £3 on insurance against zeppelin attack and damage. On Monday 27th November 1916, a clear, dry night, the German Navy Airship LZ 61 [Tactical number L21], in the company of nine other Zeppelins, crossed the Yorkshire coast. It initially attacked Leeds but was repelled by anti-aircraft fire. Commanded by Oberleutnant Kurt Frankenberg, the LZ61 was on its 10th raid of England, and had also carried out 17 reconnaissance missions. At 22.45 a warning was received locally. Black out and air raid precautions were taken.

Ordnance Survey mapping in this report is reproduced under licence no. 0100058173 1.0 Introduction Cruchfield Manor, historically known as Cruchfield House, is situated in the hamlet of Hawthorn Hill, Berkshire, around 5km to the north east of Bracknell. The house was statutorily listed at Grade II in April 1972 (list entry no. 1312899). The list description (reproduced as Appendix A) dates the house to the 18th century. Numerous alterations were made to it in the 19th and 20th centuries. Just to the north east of the house is a ‘cottage’, parts of which appear to date from the 19th century. Now detached, the ‘cottage’ was historically contiguous with the house. Within the curtilage of the listed building is a 19th century stable block that includes two barns. Around 60m to the west of the house is an open-air swimming pool and pool house constructed in c.1961.

Wind in the Wires Welcome to the seventh quarterly newsletter from Cross & Cockade International, bringing you all that's new and interesting in the world of WW1 aviation. The winter edition of the journal will be leaving the printers this week, sporting on its cover Colin Ashford's gorgeous and very seasonal painting of a Morane BB. Everyone in the UK should receive their journal over the next few days. If you're overseas and subscribed via airmail, you'll probably get yours next week. However, if you live outside Europe and subscribe surface mail, I'm afraid you may have a much longer wait - and might want to consider subscribing airmail for 2014. The postal services are positively discouraging surface post - in the US and Australia delivery can up to an extra 10 weeks. To encourage overseas members to subscribe by airmail, we've tweaked our subscription rates for 2014 to make that option more attractive. As usual we have a fine selection of articles - check out the web site for full details. Cross & Cockade International 2014 Seminar I'm sure I've mentioned this before! The 2014 Seminar will be held over the weekend of 13th to 15th June 2014 at the Park Inn Hotel in the centre of Bedford. Guests and partners are (as always) welcome - there's plenty to do in the town for those "less interested than is normal" in WW1 aviation, and of course the train to Central London takes only 30 minutes.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 Marc Mercado The Rise and Fall of Lighter-Than-Air Aircraft, 1783 – 1937 When one thinks about military aircraft, they rarely think about anything other than jets or helicopters, both of which are heavier-than-air aircraft. From the perspective of the twenty- first century, it is almost humorous to imagine a fragile, slow paced, and highly flammable gas- filled balloon gliding over a battlefield and a hailstorm of bullets. However, hot air balloons and zeppelins, which are both lighter-than-air aircraft, saw a great deal of military use until the end of the First World War. It is perhaps even stranger to think that experts considered lighter-than-air aircraft, which in retrospect seem little more than flying fire hazards, the safest and most effective form of military and commercial air travel. Though lighter-than-air aircraft have existed over twice as long as their currently more widely used heavier-than-air counterparts, due to a perceived lack of usefulness and safety, they saw a sharp decline in both military and commercial use in the early twentieth century.
