  • Fudge the Elf
    1 Fudge The Elf Ken Reid The Laura Maguire collection Published October 2019 All Rights Reserved Sometime in the late nineteen nineties, my daughter Laura, started collecting Fudge books, the creation of the highly individual Ken Reid. The books, the daily strip in 'The Manchester Evening News, had been a part of my childhood. Laura and her brother Adam avidly read the few dog eared volumes I had managed to retain over the years. In 2004 I created a 'Fudge The Elf' website. This brought in many contacts, collectors, individuals trying to find copies of the books, Ken's Son, the illustrator and colourist John Ridgeway, et al. For various reasons I have decided to take the existing website off-line. The PDF faithfully reflects the entire contents of the original website.

I was apprenticed for three years at AAS Arborfield, 1947 to 1950.

    1 1966 Jan 6 Newcomers among the bands listed to play this week - The Renegades with singer Willie Sutherland, also Gerry and the Pacemakers. Good win for Buckie Rovers - The Rovers brought off a first class victory by beating Carnoustie Panmure by two goals to one. Matt Smith, a Findochty loon now living in Carnoustie suggested that the Rovers should buy basketball boots, which he reckoned would hold well on the ice-bound pitch. They took his advice and it was £6 well spent. Up against a strong side the Rovers adopted a strategy that was before its time. Alex Simpson was set to range behind Alex Jappy, centre half, in a 'sweeper' role or extra defender. Jan 13 Jones did good business at the Show - Messrs Jones Ltd, the Buckie shipyard got orders amounting to £25,000 at the Boat show in London. This could lead to work for additional 20 men. The Spey Mercia, the yacht the company had on show was built for a London businessman, Mr Wm. Wade The Drovers is a new name listed among the bands booked to play at the different venues this week. Fatal accident at Sherrifston, near Elgin , claimed the life of Buckie man, 29 year old Alistair Fraser when his mini car collided with a stationery lorry.

    Vol 53 Page 16 John Laming. Vol 51 Page 16 On your own, airline flying in the South Pacific before GPS. The island of Nauru, Latitude South 003.28.3, Longitude East 166.55.0, lies on the Equator where it circles over the Central Pacific. In 1976, when this story starts, it took just 25 minutes to ride around the island on my trusty Honda 50. An NDB and DME were the only navigation aids on the island. Both sometimes failed without warning. Local fishermen rely on the aerodrome beacon light for navigation in case the ocean currents drift them out of sight of the low-lying atoll. At night the beacon attracts sea gulls like moths around a flame. The F28 parked at Nauru with my Honda 50 in the foreground. A Vol 53 Page 16 In those days, Nauru’s runway was 5600 feet long and, with the ocean at both ends, there were no over-run safety zones. Air Nauru crews drinking at the bar of the island’s Menen Hotel agreed it was best to keep going if an engine failed within 15 knots of V1. An Australian- designed T-VASIS lay submerged under long grass surrounding the sealed runway. It too was unreliable, susceptible to vandals breaking the lights after dark. For the weary crews arriving from all points of the compass en route to Melbourne or Hong Kong, the VASIS was Vol 51 Page 16 indispensable. I was a passenger on an Air Nauru F28 that had just landed from Melbourne with stops at Sydney, French New Caledonia, and the Solomon Islands.

  • The First Award to the Army Medical Department The
    personal interest in the design and presentation of the award are well known. What is not so well known is that the first cross and the Army Medical Department are inextricably linked. It could even be said that the first presentation of the cross did not take place in Hyde Park on Friday 26th June 1857 but at a building site on Southampton Water on 19th May 1856. THE FIRST AWARD TO THE ARMY MEDICAL The war correspondent afforded news DEPARTMENT of the Crimean War to reach the THE NETLEY VICTORIA breakfast tables of the nation not long after the events happened and CROSS included in this news was what was termed at the time, the inadequacies of Submitted by Pete Starling the Army Medical Department, much of which was unjustified criticism. Many commissions travelled to the Crimea during the war and many sat afterwards, making recommendations for the improvement of the medical department. One of the main recommendations was that there was an urgent need for a purpose built military hospital for the sick and Netley VC Front wounded of Victoria’s army. On 5 March 1855 Queen Victoria wrote from Buckingham Palace to Lord Panmure that hospitals ‘..For our sick and wounded soldiers is absolutely necessary and now is the moment to have them built’. Panmure replied that same day that an immediate survey would be made to find a suitable site.
