A Second World War Air Bomber's 'Caterpillar Club' club group relating to RAF F/Sgt. Reginald E. Roff [641155] comprising a gold Irvin Caterpillar badge with red-stone set eyes, engraved 'F/Sgt. R. E. Roff' to verso and a named certificate; together with a photograph of 'No.5 Air Bombers Course' showing Roff seated to the front right-hand side alongside his Observer's and Air Gunner's Flying Log and Sight Log Books. The Observer's and Air Gunner's logbook begins on 15/9/1943, but the majority of the activity occurs in 1944-45 when Roff was with B Flight 466 Squadron, a Royal Australian Air Force bomber squadron. The Sight Log book is sparsely filled and contains only entries for occasional dates in May 1944. Notes: On 5th March 1945, 466 Squadron took off from Driffield airfield to undertake an operational flight to bomb Chemnitz. Due to un-forecast freezing fog clouds that occurred soon after take-off, a large number of the bombing force suffered problems due to aircraft ice – some of which crashed with fatal results. As the aircraft pilots began to lose control, bomb loads were jettisoned before some members of the aircrew including Roff bailed out and swam safely to shore. As Roff's aircraft and the remaining crew onboard began to descend below the freezing cloud, the ice receded and control was regained at just 800 feet above the ground, allowing for an eventual safe landing at Carnaby airfield. Sadly, one member of Roff's crew was lost due to a bad landing, believed to be somewhere over the Bridlington area. In total, F/Sgt. Roff flew over 207 hours with the squadron, of which 119 hours were night-time operations.

Very fine and extremely rare £100-£150 --- Provenance: Bt R. Gladdle October 2013. Harold Holt (1885-1953), England’s leading theatrical impresario in the 1930s and the son of a Jewish diamond merchant from Kimberley, South Africa, managed many of the best-known names in classical music, including Dame Nellie Melba, Yehudi Menuhin, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Paul Robeson. He teamed up with Lionel Powell (†1931) in 1924, Powell having previously been a partner in the agency originally formed by Alfred Schulz-Curtius (1853-1918) to promote the music of Richard Wagner. The partnership was not long-lived, being dissolved by mutual consent on 31 July 1927. After Powell’s death Holt was the pre-eminent concert promoter in his field. Described as easy to work with but not a sufferer of fools, Holt had an infamous run-in with the Italian actor and operatic tenor Enrico Caruso Jr, then based in California, who refused an offer of $36,000 for ten appearances in London
