An incredibly rare and important glass plate negative photograph of William Barnard Rhodes - Moorhouse taken shortly before takeoff in what was the first ever recorded Commercial Aircraft flight in history. From an accompanying newspaper article (copy): ' On the day William Moorhouse was granted his Royal Aero Club Certificate he flew to Northampton to collect a consignment of shoes from Messrs Barratt's for delivery to Hendon. This was hailed..as the first commercial use of an aeroplane .' The glass plate negative depicts Moorhouse looking back at the photographer whilst seated in his Bleriot aeroplane with an assembled crowd gathered behind. The lot is accompanied by some contact-prints taken of the negative in the mid 1970's by a family member. It is believed this image is unique and never-before-published (or seen). An incredibly rare part of aviation history. Measures approx; 6.5" x 5" During the First World War, Moorhouse went on to be the first airman to be awarded the Victoria Cross medal. When war was declared, he volunteered for the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) though he had not flown for two-and-a-half years. With a shortage of experienced pilots on the Western Front, Rhodes-Moorhouse was posted to 2 Squadron at Merville, France, on March 21, 1915. His squadron flew the Blériot-Experimental (BE) 2a and 2b aircraft, designed by the Farnborough-based Royal Aircraft Factory, which were sturdy machines but with a maximum speed of just 70 mph at ground level. On April 26 1915, the RFC was ordered to bomb the enemy’s railway network to prevent reinforcements reaching the front lines. Rhodes-Moorhouse, who had been due some much-deserved leave, was instructed to bomb the strategically vital railway junction at Courtrai – one of three targets for just four aircraft. At 3.05 pm, he took off alone from Merville, having been asked to release his 100lb bomb from just below cloud level. However, after making the 35-mile flight, he dropped down to 300ft to ensure a direct hit. He was greeted with a volley of rifle and machine-gun fire, a burst of which perforated his aircraft’s fuselage and smashed into his thigh. At the same time, fragments from his own bomb ripped through the wings and tailplane. Badly wounded and in great pain, Rhodes-Moorhouse had two options: land behind enemy lines, surrender his valuable aircraft, receive medical attention and become a prisoner of war; or try to limp back to base with his aircraft and the valuable intelligence he had gathered. Choosing the latter, he dropped a further 200ft to gain speed and again encountered heavy fire, leading to two new wounds to his hand and abdomen. Despite his appalling injuries, he managed to steer his aircraft home, crossing the Allied lines. At 4.12pm, eyewitnesses saw Rhodes-Moorhouse’s aircraft approaching. He just cleared a hedge, switched off the engine and made a perfect landing. Two officers lifted him from the battered aircraft, which had 95 bullet and shrapnel holes. He was taken to a nearby office, where he insisted on filing his report while his wounds were tended. Rhodes-Moorhouse was then moved to a casualty clearing station, where it was discovered that a bullet had ripped his stomach to pieces. He was given painkillers and it soon became apparent that he was dying. At 2.25pm, with a recently delivered letter from his wife on his pillow and his friend Blake at his side, Rhodes-Moorhouse died. At the time, Field Marshal Sir John French, the British commander, said the pilot had been responsible for “the most important bomb dropped during the war so far”. (taken from an article published in The Telegraph, 29th April 2013). Note: from a fascinating collection of aviation photographs which also feature in lots: 28, 200 and 330. All once belonged to Albert William Eley, Mayor of Milton Keynes in 1978 who had a keen interest in aviation history, particularly in the Milton Keynes area.

A Fine WW2 Sterling Bomber Bomb Aimers Distinguished Flying Cross (D.F.C) Medal and Log Book Group of Five awarded to Pilot Officer Ronald George Jackson RAF, who was awarded his DFC for a very eventful first Tour of operations between April 1943 an April 1944, being involved in bombing raids to targets such as Cologne, Hamburg, Nuremburg as well as a trip to Germany’s capital. On one raid to Turin, Italy, he guided his plane over the target no less than 6 times to make sure of precise aiming, each time he was blinded by searchlights and only by descending to low altitude on the final run were the bombs successfully released. As well as other missions, Jackson also flew three special operations missions to France. Distinguished Flying Cross (dated 1944) with the original Royal Mint case, 1939-45 Star, Aircrew Europe star, Defence medal and British War Medal, accompanied by the recipient’s South African Air Force Log Book, two photographs of the recipient, one being a portrait photograph and other documents relating to the recipient including two newspaper articles about the recipient winning his DFC, his RAF service book and copies of 149 squadron’s Operational Record Book. DFC- London Gazette: 27th June 1944; “This officer has completed numerous operational sorties as a bomb aimer has had remarkable success against heavily defended targets such as Cologne, Hamburg and Berlin. On one occasion when detailed to attack an objective in Turin area, P/O Jackson guided his aircraft over the target four times to make sure of precise aiming. Each time he was blinded by searchlights and only by descending to a low altitude on the fourth run was the bombs released successfully. This officer’s keenness and courage has been beyond Praise” Ronald George Jackson was born at Mannor Park in 1922, and enlisted as aircrew in 1941, after training in South Africa, he was commissioned in 1943. He joined 149 Squadron in March 1943, where he flew two Gardening operations and an operation to Rostock before transferring to a conversion unit in May. He re-joined the squadron in June 1943 where he went straight into operations including Dusseldorf and Le Creusot followed by ops to Gelsenkirchen and Cologne. Between July and August 1943 he flew various operations to targets such as Hamburg, Cologne and Nurenburg. Following these operations, his crew was detailed for an operation to Turin, Italy where he guided his plane over the target no less than 6 times to make sure of precise aiming, each time he was blinded by searchlights and only by descending to low altitude on the final run were the bombs successfully released. His plane returned on 3 engines and had to have their landing diverted. In September, he flew another four operations including Mannerheim and Hannover. Jackson’s sole mission for November 1943 was an operation to Berlin. He resumed flying duties in February 1944 with a ‘Special Operation’ to France followed by another one in march followed by an operation to Amiens. In April 1944, Jackson Flew five operations, three mining operations, a raid to Laon and finally his 31st and last operation of his tour, another Special operation to France.
