The 1914-15 star awarded to Major G H Scott, who took overall command of the Airship R-101 and became a casualty of the disaster, (reverse impressed Flt. Lieut. G.H. Scott R.N.A.S.). Extremely Fine, together with a reprint photo of the recipient and biographical notes, also entitled to C.B.E, A.F.C., British War and Victory medals. Ex Hal Giblin collection. See Plate.32. Note: Regarded as some as being “The greatest British Airship Commander” Major George Herbert Scott was born in 1888. In 1908 he was with the R.N. Engineering College, Keyham. In 1914 he joined the RNAS and was commissioned Flight Sub Lieutenant in October. His first service was with the airship Eta at Farnborough. In 1915 he transferred to Barrow Airship station where he commanded the Parseval airship P4. The following year promotion brought him command of the Anglesey station. In 1917 he was appointed Captain of the rigid airship R9 (Britain’s first flying Rigid airship) where his ability came to the fore and included a night time landing. He next took the appointment as Experimental Officer Airships at Pulham in Norfolk. On 1st April 1918 with the formation of the R.A.F. Scott was promoted Major; an award of the AFC in the New Year’s Honours followed.In 1919 Scott was the first choice as Commander of the R-34 when she completed her historic first return flight across the Atlantic, from East Fortune in Scotland, over to Long Island, and then back to Pulham. The outward journey (the first ever flight from Britain to the USA) was not without incident, R-34 had to negotiate two electrical storms and ran dangerously low on fuel. During the return trip the airship suffered from engine problems but still managed a time of exactly three days, three hours and three minutes. The Air Ministry diverted the R-34 to Pulham rather than their home base in Scotland where, by contrast with their American landing, only a few reporters and officials were there to greet them as an RAF band struck up “See The Conquering Hero Come”. For this venture Scott was awarded a C.B.E. regarded by many as poor recognition for what had been achieved, (two weeks before R-34 left Scotland Messrs Alcock and Brown completed their single crossing from Newfoundland to Ireland and were given Knighthoods. Of the 30 on board R-34 only 10 received honours: 4 other officers were awarded the Air Force Cross and 6 crew members the Air Force Medal (See lot 615 in part 1 of this collection for the AFM group to Flt Sgt Gent); the US Navy, recognising the feat presented all the officers with platinum cigarette cases, the remainder of the crew were not rewarded except by the New York Fire Department who presented each of them with a silver propelling pencil. The British Government’s view was that the country was war weary, resentment followed military expenditure and the whole business was played down, so much so that a proposal by the Secretary of the US Navy that the crew members should each receive the US Navy Cross was shelved. Corporal R.J. Burgess, a rigger on the airship, was later heard to remark “Seven thousand miles for a b****ing pencil”). In 1920 Scott joined the Civil Aviation Department at Pulham as Senior Flying Officer; and thence to the Royal Airship Works at Cardington. In 1924 he was appointed Officer in Charge of Flying and Training, RAW Cardington. In 1927 he went to Canada to advise the Canadian Government on Airship base selection. In 1930 he was appointed Assistant Director of Airship Development (Flying).The R-100 and R-101 were much larger vessels than previously employed and required new Mooring Towers (these were to Major Scott’s design and allowed the airship to move with air flow). Scott had seniority over Captain Booth during the R-100’s flight to Canada in July/August 1930 and during this flight Scott made a decision to fly through an electrical storm rather than go round it despite, on this occasion, having ample fuel, this action earned some criticism from N.S. Norway (Author Nevil Shute) who worked on the construction of the vessel and travelled on this voyage, and who, in his autobiography “Slide Rule”, branded the decision “reckless” although acknowledging Scott as “a brave and likeable man”.Two months after this flight we find Major G H Scott in command over Captain H C Irwin (see lot 612 in part 1 of this collection) on the ill- fated flight to India of the R-101 when his glittering career was ended in the smouldering remains at Beauvais.

Herbert Scott giving Bell a reference (11th June 1922) with a follow up apology (25th June 1922) stating “I am extremely sorry I have not sent on your recommendation sooner, I wrote it out some time ago and was under the impression it had been sent off….”; a duplicated letter offering employment at the Royal Airship Works, Cardington, Civil Personnel as Engineer @ £3/15/- per week, signed in ink G.

Herbert Scott, H. Carmichael Irwin, Harry Leech, F. M. Rope etc; a second R33 annual dinner menu, bearing a small photo of the airship on the cover, and again signed by many including Scott, Irwin, Gent etc3) R-101 related paperwork: a most poignant Post Office Telegraph stamped Bedford 5 Oc ’30 from Beauvais to Mrs Bell simply stating “Quite Safe = Arthur”; 2 RAF Message Forms 818 to Mrs Bell, the first stating “The Air Ministry deeply regret to have to inform you that HM Airship R101 was lost over France about 2am this morning and A.V.

(One can only imagine the roller coaster of emotions Mrs Bell would have experienced at this time. Presumably she would have heard of the crash, then received the Air Ministry forms and telegram , but, on learning of Arthur’s safety she would, no doubt, be unable to show her relief knowing 48 other families in the neighbourhood would be grieving).(4) Personal papers etc include letters, Certificate of Membership of R.A.O.B, Xmas cards, memorial card for his mother Esther 1925 and his driving licence, various photos including 2 of R101 crew, and one of Bell cutting a lonely figure carrying his wreath to the service at St Paul‘s. It must be appreciated that some paperwork shows wear and some letters etc split along the folds See Plate.32. Note: Arthur Victor “Ginger” Bell, born August 31st 1898. Employed at the National Steam Car Co Chelmsford, Essex as General Engineer Youth in the Fitting and Machine shop from Sept 1914 to January 1917 when he left to join the forces. Served with the RFC February 1917 to April 1918, then, on formation of the RAF April 1918 to April 1921. Transferred to Class E Reserve, served overseas France and Germany June 1918 to November 1919. He then joined the Civil Aviation Traffic Office with Airship Flying Experiments as an Engineer Airship Crew from April 1921 to November 1922 and left at the cessation of Airship Flying. Following a spell as Engineer at the Chelmsford Pumping Station and left in June 1924 to return to Airship flying and went back to the Royal Airship Works, Cardington as Engineer (Airship Crew) and C/H Winch Section.Bell, in his capacity of engineer, was aboard the R101 in an engine gondola slung about 20 feet below the hull aft. At the 2.00 a.m. change of watch on the airship Bell was to be relieved by Joe Binks. Binks had to be roused from his bunk to take his watch and arrived about 3 minutes late for duty, whilst their change over took place the airship dived, levelled out and dived again crashing in the side of a hill. Had Joe Binks relieved Bell on time there is no question the latter would have lost his life. Fate played her hand a second time when a water tank overhead burst extinguishing the flames enough to enable the two to get clear with only minor burns, and, with Harry Leech, they were able to take part in the sombre parade on 7th October at Beauvais where they walked behind one of the carriages. Following the crash of the R101 Bell remained at Cardington were he was employed overhauling transport for the RAF. His resume states “Late in 1931 R100 was sold for scrap & broke up in No 1 shed, that put an end to Airships in this country. We carried on experiments with balloons which we were flying at over 20,000ft. In 1933 Cardington again became busy this time with Aeroplanes and by 1936 every where was filled with Air Frames for storage…In 1939 the Aeroplanes left Cardington & Balloons took over in a big way & Cardington became the Home of the Balloon Training Unit where all Balloon Operators, men and women, were trained for the Balloon Barrage all over England for of course that year war came. We became BDE Balloon Development Establishment & done (sic) all the experiments for Balloon (sic) of all kinds.… At the latter part of (the) war when the Germans started sending over his flying bombs Balloons were again in great demand and BDE made all the gear at Cardington to hang on the Balloons for catching Flying Bombs…” Following the war Arthur remained at Cardington until his retirement and worked on the airship Bournemouth in 1950.Arthur Bell died on 21st December 1973 and, as was his wish, was buried in Cardington Churchyard, close to his pals from the R101.
