A fine M.B.E., Second World War D.F.C. group of eight awarded to Wing Commander C. Warren, Royal Air Force, a Battle of Britain fighter pilot who later transferred to Bomber Command: his Spitfire was damaged in a combat off the Isle of Wight in July 1940, but in the following month he shared in the destruction of a Do. 17 off Portland The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, M.B.E. (Military) Members 2nd type breast badge; Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated 1943; 1939-45 Star, clasp, Battle of Britain; Air Crew Europe Star; Pacific Star; Defence and War Medals, M.I.D. oak leaf; Coronation 1953, together with late claim issuance slip and box for the Pacific Star, R.A.F. Halton sporting awards (2), one of them inscribed, Cpl./A.A. Warren, C., a cased Bomber Command commemorative award, and a set of related dress miniatures (excluding the Pacific Star), very fine and better (18) £5000-6000 M.B.E. London Gazette 12 June 1947. D.F.C. London Gazette 10 September 1943. The original recommendation states: Following an arduous operational tour on fighter aircraft involving participation in the Battle of Britain, this officer changed to bomber aircraft and during the past six months has, as Flight Commander in his Squadron, displayed considerable skill and courage whilst on a series of operational sorties which have included some of the most heavily defended objectives. In his Flight he has made every effort to increase the efficiency of the aircrews and by his personal example has sustained the high morale and fighting spirit of the Flight. Charles Warren was born at Witham, Essex in November 1918 and was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Colchester. Joining the Royal Air Force as an Aircraft Apprentice at Halton in January 1935, he was awarded a Flight Cadetship to R.A.F. Cranwell in January 1938, was commissioned as a Pilot Officer, and was posted on his graduation in October 1939 to No. 152 ("Hyderabad") Squadron, a Gladiator unit based at Acklington. In early 1940, however, the Squadron was re-equipped with Spitfires and commenced operational patrols in defence of the north-east, Warrens flying log book recording many such outings upto the units move South to Warmwell, Dorset in July. Here, 152s pilots were quickly embroiled in the Battle of Britain proper, Warren notching up around 40 or 50 operational sorties over the coming weeks, among them "Scrambles", X-raids, sector patrols and convoy patrols - and a combat with Do. 17s off the Isle of Wight at 10.30 a.m. on Thursday 18 July, when his Spitfire (P9440) was hit in the mainframe by a 109 (Pilot unhurt, aircraft damaged but repairable). In fact Warrens flying log book refers to several dogfights during the period in question - and confirms his half-share in the destruction of a Do. 17 off Portland on 22 August, with Pilot Officer E. S. "Boy" Marrs. Having participated in his last "Scramble" on 30 August, he was posted as an instructor to No. 12 Operational Training Unit (O.T.U.) at R.A.F. Benson, and thence to No. 15 O.T.U. at Harwell, this time as an instructor in Wellingtons, and was among those pilots chosen to bolster Bomber Commands offensive in September 1942, when he flew a sortie against Dusseldorf. He was also recommended for the A.F.C.: Squadron Leader Warren has served in No. 15 O.T.U. since December 1941 and has been a Flight Commander for the past five months. He has displayed outstanding ability. At all times he has shown the greatest keenness and energy to pass trainees out on schedule, thus keeping up the flow of crews for the Middle East. This officers enthusiasm and personal example are of a high order and he shows the greatest devotion to duty. In the event, the recommendation was not approved, and in late 1942 he was posted as a Flight Commander to No. 466 (R.A.A.F.) Squadron at Driffield (and later at Leconfield), in which capacity he commenced an operational tour in Wellingtons with a "Gardening" sortie in mid-January (Mines dropped from 500 feet). Thereafter, until ending his tour in late August, he flew further mining sorties in addition to attacking a number of French and German targets, the latter including Cologne, Dortmund and Essen - in a raid on the last named city on 27 May he noted Intense and accurate flak. He was awarded the D.F.C., the recommendation also noting his earlier services in Fighter Command and the Battle of Britain. Having then served as an instructor in No. 19 O.T.U. at Forres, a satellite airfield to R.A.F. Kinloss, located on the estate of Lady Gordon Cummings, and No. 2 Overseas Dispatch Unit at St. Mawgan, Warren formed a flight of tour-expired R.A.A.F. aircrew for conversion to Dakotas at R.A.F. Merryfield, the whole eventually joining No. 268 Squadron in Australia, via the U.S.A., Hawaii, Fiji and New Zealand. The role of No. 268 was to support the British Pacific Fleet, which entailed flights throughout the Pacific theatre of war. Shortly before V.J. Day, he was ordered with another Squadron Leader to join the Pacific Fleet at Leyte, for the purpose of taking over Kai Tak airfield in Hong Kong from the Japanese, a mission successfully accomplished with the backing of a Royal Navy landing party drawn from the aircraft carrier Indomitable; in April 2004, Warren contacted the R.A.F. Medal Office with a belated claim for the Pacific Star, a claim that proved successful. Warren next took four crews to Iwakuni, Japan - via Hong Kong and Shanghai - to form the British Commonwealth Air Force Communications Squadron of Dakota and Auster aircraft. But his duties at Iwakuni also extended to acting as personal pilot to Air Vice-Marshal Boucher, and V.I.P. pilot for visiting dignitaries, as well as having responsibility for air-sea rescue activities. He was awarded the M.B.E. On returning to the U.K. in 1947, he joined Transport Command, and in the folllowing year participated in the Berlin Airlift with an appointment at Buckeburg and Luneberg as Air Accidents Officer. He then served for several years at initial Training Schools, was awarded the Coronation 1953 Medal while stationed at Kirton-in-Lindsay (the official roll refers), and ended his career with an appointment as C.O. of Fighter Commands last piston-engined squadron. He was placed on the Retired List as a Wing Commander in December 1957. Sold with a quantity of original documentation, including the recipients Flying Log Books (3), covering the periods January 1938 to March 1945, March 1945 to January 1952 and February 1952 to September 1957; four photographs, including one of him standing by his No. 152 Squadron Spitfire and another as a Flight Commander, with his aircrew, in No. 466 Squadron; two copies of Customs of the Service (Aldershot, 1954), one ink inscribed Wg.

1936 RILEY KESTREL FOUR DOOR FASTBACK SALOON RARE SPECIAL SERIES 66K & REALLY LOVELY Estimate £10000 - 12000 Registration Number ANP 999 Chassis Number S66K1694 Engine Number 60344 Engine Capacity 1089 Paint Colour RED/BLACK Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. "We make far too many models of course. But then we have a pretty fertile design department, and we like making nice, interesting cars" (Riley Advertising, September 1936). Introduced in 1926, the Riley 9hp range heralded the beginning of a golden era for the Coventry firm that lasted until its acquisition by the Nuffield Organisation during 1938. While the efforts of Freddie Dixon and others helped to establish a formidable competition record, the road cars won acclaim for offering performance levels that belied their relatively small engine capacities. Launched in late 1932, the 9hp Kestrel was based around a low-slung ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. A compact, fastbacked four-door saloon, it was powered by the marque's jewel-like 1087cc 'twin-cam' four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Distinguished from its brethren by a lower roofline and twin horns, the Kestrel was bodied in aluminium over a timber frame. Boasting a surprisingly spacious interior trimmed with good quality hides, thick carpets and plenty of wood veneer, it remained in production until 1936. Registered on the 11th May 1936 to a Mrs. E.M. Whittaker, who strangely only kept it until the October that year, this rare and highly desirable Special Series 66k four door fastback saloon has had just six further known owners since. Following the short first ownership the second, a Mr. C.F. Dearing, made up for it by keeping the car until 1965 whereupon, after passing though three more owners, it arrived with Richard 'Dickie' Adams in 1996. He started a 4000 hour restoration which took 30 months and it's first outing was to a Riley meeting on New Years Day 1999. It covered about 3000 miles before a piston failed whereupon the engine was rebuilt by Riley expert Barrie Gillies with new high compression pistons, a block twin exhaust cam conversion for increased performance, the radiator was modified for the fitment of a temperature gauge and a stainless steel exhaust was fitted - all less than 250 miles ago. We are informed by the vendor that ANP 999 was restored to the highest standards, as befits an aircraft engineer, and as testament to this it received several awards at Riley and other events. The upholstery has been carefully preserved and the trim, opening glass and sunroof are all excellent. The inflatable airbag seat cushions were remanufactured, the chassis was galvanised and zinc sprayed, all the rust was removed, all the rotten woodwork was replaced and it was rewired. A delightful car that performs well with an extremely good ride, an excellent steering response but it will benefit from use and settling in, especially now that it has more power.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with MOT and Road Fund Licence until February 2008.
