The chronology of the canon, spanning both world wars, set up certain inconsistencies over the unavoidable ageing of Biggles and his friends.

She has been graceful in assisting me as I clumsily encroached on her area of expertise, provided erudite commentary whenever it was needed, and I could not have asked for a better mentor.

  • The Life and Politics of David Widgery David Renton
    The Life and Politics of David Widgery David Renton David Widgery (1947-1992) was a unique figure on the British left. Better than any one else, his life expressed the radical diversity of the 1968 revolts. While many socialists could claim to have played a more decisive part in any one area of struggle - trade union, gender or sexual politics, radical journalism or anti- racism - none shared his breadth of activism. Widgery had a remarkable abili- ty to "be there," contributing to the early debates of the student, gay and femi- nist movements, writing for the first new counter-cultural, socialist and rank- and-file publications. The peaks of his activity correspond to the peaks of the movement. Just eighteen years old, Widgery was a leading part of the group that established Britain's best-known counter-cultural magazine Oz. Ten years later, he helped to found Rock Against Racism, parent to the Anti-Nazi League, and responsible for some of the largest events the left has organised in Britain. RAR was the left's last great flourish, before Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, and the movement entered a long period of decline, from which even now it is only beginning to awake. David Widgery was a political writer. Some of the breadth of his work can be seen in the range of the papers for which he wrote. His own anthology of his work, compiled in 1989 includes articles published in City Limits, Gay Left, INK, International Socialism, London Review of Books, Nation Review, New Internationalist, New Socialist, New Society, New Statesman, Oz, Radical America, Rank and File Teacher,Socialist Worker, Socialist Review, Street Life, Temporary Hoarding, Time Out and The Wire.' Any more complete list would also have to include his student journalism and regular columns in the British Medical Journal and the Guardian in the 1980s.

  • W E Johns and Biggles : the Reality and the Legend by Philip L Scowcroft
    Occasional Paper 2nd Series No. 343 W E Johns And Biggles : The Reality and The Legend By Philip L Scowcroft William Earl Johns (1893-1968), a children’s writer and journalist, whose hobbies were shooting and fishing, was born in Hertfordshire. When the Great War broke out, he joined up in the Norfolk Yeomanry and served with it at Gallipoli and later with the Machine Gun Corps at Salonika. He transferred to the RFC in 1917, was commissioned as a pilot and joined 55 Squadron, flying DH4s. he was shot down, wounded and taken prisoner in September 1918. He was tried and condemned to death for indiscriminate bombing of civilians (rather like the pot calling the kettle black for the Germans to do that). He was reprieved because of the likelihood of an armistice; there was still time for him to attempt escape from his prisoner of war camp before 11 November 1918. Johns remained in the RAF post-war and was promoted Flying Officer in 1920, being demobilised in 1927 after flying in RAF displays. He became an aviation illustrator, in 1932 he became founder editor of the monthly periodical Popular Flying which introduced the fictional airman Biggles, first in a collection “The Camels Are Coming” (doubtless after the iconic fighter the Sopwith Camel). By the date of his death, Johns had written 102 books involving Biggles showing his hero as a freelance airman, then as a RAF Second War Squadron Leader, fighting in the Battle of Britain in Spitfire Parade (to be historically accurate the title should be “Hurricane Parade” as there were two Hurricanes to every Spitfire in the Battle) and post-war as Sgt Bigglesworth CID of Scotland Yard.

Webster, the athlete, athletics coach and author who F.A.M. Webster lived from 1886 to 1949, wrote a series of fifteen spy thrillers under the Spy thrillers pseudonym of Michael Annesley. His hero, Lawrie Fenton, is a lively and Michael laid-back secret agent for the fictional Intelligence Branch of the (British) Annesley Foreign Office. The books were published between 1935 and 1950, and Lawrie Fenton the series is important because of its European settings, analyses of The Great Game contemporary politics, insights into contemporary points of view, and snapshots of events and places. Fenton was a new and exciting hero for his times. The paper establishes Webster’s unrecognized but important influence on the development of the spy thriller. The photographs are from the Webster family collection. MICHAEL ANNESLEY = F.A.M. WEBSTER Frederick Annesley Michael Webster was born on 27 June 1886. He was an athlete who started his long involvement with British athletics and the Olympic movement by reporting on the London Olympics in 1908.

  • Study 1 – Control Parable Condition
    Study 1 – Control Parable Condition Once upon a time there was a hare who, boasting how he could run faster than anyone else, was forever teasing tortoise for its slowness. Then one day, the irate tortoise answered back: "Who do you think you are? There's no denying you're swift, but even you can be beaten!" The hare squealed with laughter. "Beaten in a race? By whom? Not you, surely! I bet there's nobody in the world that can win against me, I'm so speedy. Now, why don't you try?" Annoyed by such bragging, the tortoise accepted the challenge. A course was planned, and the next day at dawn they stood at the starting line. The hare yawned sleepily as the meek tortoise trudged slowly off. When the hare saw how painfully slow his rival was, he decided, half asleep on his feet, to have a quick nap. "Take your time!" he said. "I'll have forty winks and catch up with you in a minute." The hare woke with a start from a fitful sleep and gazed round, looking for the tortoise. But the creature was only a short distance away, having barely covered a third of the course. Breathing a sigh of relief, the hare decided he might as well have breakfast too, and off he went to munch some cabbages he had noticed in a nearby field. But the heavy meal and the hot sun made his eyelids droop. With a careless glance at the tortoise, now halfway along the course, he decided to have another snooze before flashing past the winning post.
