Four: British War Medal, Victory Medal (119250 Gnr. W.H. Nethercote R.A.), Memorial plaque named to Walter Harold Nethercote, in card cover, these items in remains of envelopes addressed to his wife Mrs M.A. Nethercote; and a Lord Mayor’s gold medal for the Destruction of Zeppelin L15 engraved to Gunr W. Nethercote, diameter 29mm and contained in the Mappin & Webb presentation case (AF). The medals GVF See Plate.32. Note: Gunner Walter Harold Nethercote who died 17th November 1918 aged 28 was with L. Anti-Aircraft Battery and is commemorated at the Awoingt British Cemetery, near Cambrai. The “Roll of Men from Southend-On-Sea,…1914-1919” confirms his serving with the Anti- Aircraft Section RGA and his award of the Lord Mayor’s medal. Sir Charles Wakefield had intended a prize of £500 go to the first gun crew to bring down a Zeppelin over Britain but, as several crews claimed this, the money was subsequently used to produce the gold medals, of which 353 were awarded. The design on the obverse shows Wakefield’s crest and on the reverse the legend “Well Hit”, “March 31st” and “L15” surrounding a representation of an anti-aircraft gun. On 31st March 1916 five Zeppelins attacked Britain, one was to make for Humberside, the other four, including L15, were to attack London. L15, under the command of Joachim Breithaupt, flew over Ipswich and Colchester and, at about 9.30pm, made her way west up the Thames. She was picked out by searchlights and engaged by guns from various AA units. At around 9.45pm she received a hit from the Purfleet gun and sustained damage to her midship sections. In view of her damage Breithaupt changed course and made for Belgium to seek the safety of an airship base. By 10.35pm she was over Foulness at a height of around 2,000 feet (her initial height had been around 11,000 feet) and shortly afterwards broke her back and ditched. One of her crew drowned but the remaining personnel were rescued by armed trawlers and the destroyer HMS Vulture. It had been hoped to recover the Zeppelin but the attempt was in vain.

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.
