A unique combination group of four to Henry James Leech, Foreman Engineer of the Royal Airship Works Cardington who was awarded the Albert Medal for his heroic attempt to rescue comrades from the R101 crash comprising: The Albert Medal 2nd Class in Bronze for Land service, reverse engraved ‘Presented by His Majesty to Henry James Leech A.F.M. for Gallantry in saving life when the Airship R101 was wrecked near Beauvais (France) on the 5th October 1930’; Air Force Medal, George V issue (212339 Sergt Mech Leech, H.J. RAF), British War and Victory medals (212339 Sgt H J Leech, RAF), GVF, mounted as worn court style. The Albert Medal case is also present. Note: Albert Medal London Gazette 31 October 1930 His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to award the Albert Medal to Mr Henry James Leech, A.F.M., Foreman Engineer of the Engine Test House, Royal Airship Works, Cardington, in recognition of his gallantry when the Airship R101 was wrecked near Beauvais on the 5 October, 1930. Despite terrifying experiences in extricating himself from the blazing wreckage, Mr Leech immediately at grave risk re-entered the burning mass and succeeded in disentangling a companion from the network of red-hot girders and hauled him into safety, himself sustaining burns in the process.’ The colleague rescued was wireless operator Arthur Disley who himself was awarded the British Empire Medal and who had telephoned the Air Ministry to break the news of the disaster. At the time of the crash Leech had been relaxing on his own in the smoking room and had been concerned with the pitching and rolling of the vessel. As Foreman Engineer at the Royal Airship Works he had been involved with the series of engine tests and quickly realised the extent of the situation. When R101 crashed the smoking room was suddenly plunged into darkness. As he tried to get out he found the door had been blocked by damage, consequently Leech had to break through an asbestos bulkhead to get to safety, a feat made more difficult as the lightweight furniture used in keeping the weight of the airship down smashed on impact with the walls. Reaching a companionway with the inferno all about he managed to reach a gap in R101`s side and jumped to safety, his fall being broken by a tree. As he fell through the saturated branches he was drenched in rainwater and later described it as ‘the best drink of my life’. Despite being badly burned, Leech joined two other survivors, Arthur Bell and Joe Binks, and tried to rescue other crew members. At Beauvais on the Tuesday morning the 3 survivors (of 6) were well enough to attend the sombre parade. (See plate 18). Shortly before 11.00 am a poignant 101 gun salute to the fallen filled the air, followed by the British and French National anthems then the repatriation process began. 23 army wagons, each carrying 2 coffins, made for the station, the train taking them to Boulogne to transfer to 2 destroyers HMS Tempest and HMS Tribune. Air Force Medal London Gazette 8th February 1919. This was awarded when Sergeant Mechanic Leech was Second Engineer with the crew bringing the Airship SR1 from Italy. The British Government had purchased a Semi Rigid airship (SR1) from the Italians. Leech was part of the 9 man crew who brought the vessel back to England leaving Rome on the 28th October and arriving back at Kingsnorth Airship Station on 31 October. During this trip an exhaust pipe became detached and fell to close proximity of the fuel tanks. Captain T.B. Williams (2nd Officer) and Leech climbed up a ladder and jettisoned the burning mass overboard thus preventing catastrophic consequences. Henry James “Harry” Leech was born in Dudley in 1890 and from 1906 served an apprenticeship at the B.S.A. Company working on motor car manufacturing. He joined the R.N.A.S (Airship Section) in 1916 where he served until demobilized in 1919. In 1920 he answered an advert in a local newspaper recruiting experienced men for the development of airships at Pulham in Norfolk and was put in charge of the Engine shops. In 1924 he transferred to the Royal Airship Works, Cardington. Following the demise of the Airship programme Leech went to America to work as an engineer with Kaye Don (who set various land speed records) and also worked as an engineer with Sir Malcolm Campbell at Daytona in 1932. In later years he moved to Southampton and worked on developing equipment used to combat Cancer, illustrated on Plate 18.
