NELSON (HORATIO)Ticket admitting the bearer to Nelson's funeral at St Paul's Cathedral ('Admit the bearer to a seat in the West Gallery Within the Church on the day of Lord Nelson's funeral'), issued to John Pape, and numbered 95, with uncommon red wax seal, printed with manuscript insertions, countersigned with initials ('J.P.'), on card, some dust-staining and other marks, 78 x 116mm., printed by W. Wilton, St. Peter's Hill, Doctors' Commons, [9 January 1806]; with a copy of The Times from Friday 10 January 1806, reporting on the funeral (2)Footnotes:'ADMITTANCE AT THE IRON GATE UNDER THE SOUTH DIAL OF THE CLOCK, WHERE THIS TICKET MUST BE PRODUCED, BUT NOT DELIVERED UP': a scarce named and numbered ticket bearing a red seal. The State Funeral of Lord Nelson, the first commoner to receive such an honour, was the most lavish state occasion of the era and lasted over five days, initiating an outpouring of public grief. A carefully orchestrated ceremony, it was '...a performance influenced by the prevailing theatricality of the day...' (Timothy Jenks, 'Contesting the Hero: The Funeral of Admiral Lord Nelson', Journal of British Studies, Vol.39, No.4, October 2000). The lying-in state in the Painted Hall at Greenwich from 5 to 7 January attracted between 15 and 30 thousand mourners and was followed by a grand river procession up the Thames to Whitehall on 8 January. The following morning hushed crowds watched the funeral procession travel the 2 miles to St Paul's Cathedral. Within the cathedral large stands had been erected for specially invited ticket holders. Named, numbered tickets bearing a red seal, rather than the usual black, and inviting the bearer inside the cathedral rather than to the procession, are uncommon.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The stationery engine will be expensive to keep on account of the cost of coal. The water wheel will be too costly to put up unless there be more traffic on the line than I can at present forsee...', and that he is working on another plan which 'I shall have... prepared when I go down to Whitby. The machinery will not cost much in erecting and no time will be lost in turning to this arrangement....'; and in September 1835 thanking Clark for sending 'the minutes of the Directors', promising to visit shortly, and assuring him that 'it is my wish to have that great work set forward is possible, and you will please to inform my Whitby friends that no exertion of mine shall be wanting to give them a taste of the benefits of it...', each 4 pages (including integral address, with red postal stamp, 4 pages blank), old folds, age-dusted, small hole at head (touching a couple of letters to each), 4to Stone, 3 January 1834, North Hotel, Birmingham 7 April 1834, London, 30 April 1834, and Alton Grange, 28 May 1834, 4 October 1835 and 6 September 1835, loosely inserted into an album, with other letters and cut signatures - see footnote (quantity)Footnotes:'BEFORE I SET OF FOR WHITBY I CONSIDERED IT NECESSARY TO SPEND TIME LOOKING AFTER THE MANUFACTURE OF THE RAILS' - Series of six letters written by George Stephenson to the Railway Office at Whitby, Yorkshire in which he reports to the Directors of the Whitby and Pickering Railway for which he had been employed as engineer.

A fine post-war military division O.B.E., Second War ‘1944’ night fighter Radar Operator/Navigator’s D.F.C. group of six awarded to Flight Lieutenant K. Dear, Royal Air Force, who flew on many operational sorties in Beaufighters and Mosquitoes with Nos 125, 141 and 239 Squadrons - the latter two being Special Duties Squadrons, flying Serrate operations. Dear is credited with 3 enemy aircraft destroyed, 2 damaged, and 2 trains also damaged. Both he and his pilots frequently suffered heavy damage to their aircraft - and on 10 April 1944, Dear and Squadron Leader J. S. Booth had to parachute to safety after their Mosquito’s starboard engine had caught fire The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, O.B.E. (Military) Officer’s 2nd type, breast badge, silver-gilt; Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1944’; 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star, 1 clasp, France and Germany; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, generally good very fine (6) £2,600-£3,000 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, September 2000 (another incorrectly assembled group which was possibly named up with the intent to deceive, lacking original documentation, and has been subsequently discredited, appeared for sale in 2007) O.B.E. London Gazette 1 January 1959. D.F.C. London Gazette 14 November 1944. The original recommendation states: ‘‘Flight Lieutenant K. Dear joined this Squadron on 11.12.44 and has flown as Navigator/Radio with S/Ldr. J. S. Booth, D.F.C., on 23 operational sorties since that date. Prior to joining No. 239 (B.S.) Squadron, F/Lt. Dear has completed a tour with No. 125 Squadron and commenced a 2nd tour with 141 Squadron. His record on arrival here comprised one Ju.88 destroyed, one Ju.88 damaged and one Me.110 damaged. His two victories with S/Ldr. Booth on 7.7.44 when two Me.110’s were destroyed near Meaux and Compiegne bringing his total to three enemy aircraft destroyed and two damaged.’ Kenneth Dear was born in 1909 at Teddington, Middlesex, and was educated at Kingston Grammar School. He commenced aircrew training in October 1941 and joined 125 (Newfoundland) Squadron in February 1942, flying as a Beaufighter Radio Observer. A night fighter squadron, Dear was primarily crewed with Flight Lieutenant (later Squadron Leader) J. R. A. Bailey as his pilot. Despite frequently flying on Ops, Dear’s log book often states ‘No Trade’ at this point of the war. Commissioned into the R.A.F.V.R. on 1 July 1942, he was credited with damaging a Ju.88 20 miles west of Swansea on 20 September, and shortly after 0830 hours on 10 November 1942 shot down a Ju.88 in to the North Sea 118 miles east of Montrose with his pilot Flight Lieutenant Bailey, but not without the following battle damage to their own aircraft: ‘Hole in each wing inboard of engine - both spars damaged. Two bullets in port engine. Hole in starboard side of tail plane - spar damaged. Two holes in starboard perspex, and one through hydraulic tank and instrument panel. Three holes also in nose ...’ Spitfires of 164 Squadron’s Blue Section escorted the crippled Beaufighter safely home to Peterhead. Completing his first tour in March 1943, Dear was rested with attachments to the 415th Squadron, U.S.A.A.C., at Cranfield, and 488 (New Zealand) Squadron at Ayr. In October 1943 he joined 141 Squadron at Wittering, and on 16 December 1943, with Squadron Leader F. Lambert piloting Mosquito 659, damaged an Me.110 in the Berlin area whilst on bomber escort duty. Serrate Radar operations had begun with 141 Squadron in September 1943, with modifications being made all the time: ‘On 7 January the first Mosquito with the new modifications was flown to Hatfield from West Raynham for final approval by de Havilland, while Wing Commander Roberts drove to Radlett to expedite the delivery of new equipment. Three days later, a completed Mosquito went to each of the three Serrate squadrons. Nos. 239 and 169 were still under training but two Mosquitoes in 141 Squadron were aloft on Serrate duty on 14/15 January when 498 bombers hit Brunswick, of which a staggering total of thirty-eight failed to return. Almost predictably there were problems with the Serrate Mosquitoes. The Mk II crewed by Squadron Leader Freddie Lambert and Flying Officer Ken Dear suffered a port engine failure 20 miles inland of the Dutch coast and was forced to land on one engine at Coltishall.’ (Confounding The Reich, The RAF’s Secret War of Electronic Countermeasures in WWII, The Story of 100 (Special Duties) Group RAF Bomber Command 1943-45, by M. W. Bowman and T. Cushing refers) In February 1944, Dear was posted as Navigator to 239 (Special Duties) Squadron - a Serrate and Perfectos unit of 100 ‘Confound and Destroy’ Group, which waged war by scientific as well as conventional means. On 10 April 1944 Squadron Leader J. S. Booth ordered him to bale out at 6,000 feet over Walsingham when their Mosquito’s starboard engine caught fire. Both pilot and navigator landed safely to continue their ‘extra-routine’ activities with 239. Dear flew in a large number of Serrate operations in June 1944, including on D-Day itself: ‘Serrate - Support of Bombing Behind Beachhead. Patrol: Dunkirk - Paris - Chartres - Granville - Rouen - Abbeville - Calais’ (Log Book refers). On the night of 7 July 1944, during a sixty minute patrol of the Paris area in support of raids on Vaires and St Leu, Dear and Booth pulled off their celebrated double Me.110 kill, and on 1 September added to their tally by inflicting ‘Cat. B’ damage on trains north of Meppel and south of Leeuwarden, Holland. Squadron Leader Dear remained in the R.A.F. until retirement in 1959. Sold with the following original documentation: 2 Royal Air Force Observer’s and Air Gunner’s Flying Look Books (20 October 1941 - 26 February 1945 and 19 April 1945 - 17 September 1960); Original Combat Report for Interception Raid, 10 November 1942; Buckingham Palace Investiture Ticket, dated 14 November 1944; with copied research. 


Six: Group Captain W. N. Elwy-Jones, Royal Air Force General Service 1918-62, 2 clasps, Palestine, Malaya (Flt. Lt. W. N. Elwy-Jones. R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Coronation 1953, unnamed as issued, mounted as originally worn, suspension re-affixed on GSM, otherwise good very fine (6) £500-£700 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, September 2004. Walter Nigel Elwy-Jones, who was born at Llanishen, Cardiff in August 1912, attended Loughborough Technical College before joining the Royal Air Force on a short service commission in April 1931. Having gained his “Wings”, he was initially posted to No. 54 Squadron at Hornchurch in March 1932, but, in the following year, he commenced a tour of duty in the Middle East that would include active service in Palestine. Originally, however, he joined No. 45 Squadron at Kelwan in Egypt, with whom he served on “aerial policing” duties which involved the occasional bombing run. He also flew a couple of times as ‘Escort to H.E. The Governor General of Sudan’. Then in March 1934, he joined No. 47 Squadron at Khartoum, another Fairey IIIF unit, this time flying patrols in conjunction with the Sudan Defence Force. In early 1936 Elwy-Jones transferred to No. 216 Squadron, famed for its Cairo-Baghdad mail run, but in the following July, on gaining a permanent commission as a Flight Lieutenant, he was ordered to attend the Air Armament School back in the U.K. This latter course led to his appointment, in December 1938, in the rank of Squadron Leader, to Senior Armament Staff Officer of No. 1 Group, and, in September 1939, and by now an Acting Wing Commander, he joined the Advanced Air Striking Force out in France as its Senior Armament Officer. Elwy-Jones returned to the U.K. at the end of the year, and, according to accompanying documentation, was hospitalised. In February 1940, however, he returned to duty in the appointment of Senior Armament Staff Officer at H.Q. No. 41 Group, where he remained until May 1944, when he joined H.Q., A.D.G.B. Then, in the following October, he was appointed Command Armament Officer, Fighter Command, a position of great responsibility at the best of times, but even more so with the North-West Europe operations in full swing. During the course of the war Elwy-Jones flew many aircraft types, including Spitfires on a regular basis, and, more unusually, in March 1941, he even piloted a captured Me. 108. His post-war career, which witnessed his advancement to Group Captain in March 1952, included service as Command Weapons Officer Far East in Malaya 1948-50, and Command Armament Officer of Bomber Command 1951-54. Elwy-Jones retired in November 1957. Sold with the recipient’s four original Flying Log Books, covering the periods April 1931 to March 1932, March 1932 to July 1934, January 1938 to October 1945, and November 1945 to July 1955, together with a fifth “Rough Log” with assorted entries from the 1930s; together with other original documentation, including Air Ministry pilot’s licence, with portrait photograph, issued in May 1938, assorted career photographs and an admission ticket for the funeral of George VI.
