* ‘The Avroplane’. An important Pioneer and “Daily Mail” Prize-contest design model by Edwin Alliot Verdon-Roe, 1907, a unique exhibition display model of a pioneer flying-machine, created by Alliott Verdon-Roe (the founder of AVRO and Saunders-Roe Aircraft Companies) later knighted for his services to the Aviation Industry, this model, numbered “B2”, is the second maquette for his winning example of two versions submitted for the prize-contest sponsored by the Daily Mail, for a free-flight aeroplane design. Of biplane format utilising pusher-type airscrew powered by a three cylinder Anzani motor, the open-work wire-braced wooden airframe featuring a large forward-mounted lifting-surface, under which was situated the pilot’s control-seat, with dual surface main-planes to the rear, and with additional movable aileron-control surfaces mounted in parallel between the main-planes. The engine mounted centrally behind the pilot, driving the rear-mounted propeller via a long shaft to clear the main flying surfaces. Well fabricated of wood, brass and metal construction, with cotton-thread simulating rigging wires, cream-painted flying surfaces, with black open frame fuselage and silver gravity fuel tank etc, this model represented a sturdy airframe structure with practical application for scaling up to a full-size machine capable of flight, wingspan 12 in, length 7.5in (30 x 19cm), the designer having graduated through engineering via railway and marine practical experience, now turned his attention to aeronautics, and this his first serious design, was subsequently built by Roe in a small rented shed at the newly opened Brooklands Motor Circuit, with its flying field within the central curtilage of the track. The prototype was his first successful aeroplane in a long series of now-venerated machines, produced subsequently by his enlarged enterprise at the Manchester factory where he ultimately relocated. The following year by June 1908, Verdon-Roe had built his first aeroplane to the model-pattern and flew it for a short duration - the first true Englishman to design and build his own heavier-than-air powered machine. A full-size flying replica of this aeroplane was specially re-created to celebrate its centenary in his memory, and is now on display at the RAF Museum at Duxford - a testament indeed to this genius, who laid the foundations of the British Aircraft Industry. The model is contained in his original wooden transit-box, ailerons lacking, and showing some age wear and deterioration to cotton rigging wires. (1)

A gold medal presented to the English cricketer Harry Charlwood on the occasion of the first ever official Test Match that commenced 15th March 1877 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between Australia and England, the obverse engraved with crossed cricket bats, stumps and a ball, with a cricket field beyond, the reverse inscribed PRESENTED TO, H. CHARLWOOD, BY, GE0. BROWNE C.E., ARCHITECT, M.C.C. GRAND STAND, MELBOURNE, 1877. This exciting discovery of a gold medal offers a unique opportunity to acquire a presentation made on the occasion of the first official Test Match in cricket history, the game between Australia and James Lillywhite`s England side played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground commencing 15th March 1877. Australia won the game by 45 runs, a result that, extraordinarily, was duplicated precisely when Australia and England competed in the Centenary Test Match, played March 12th to 17th 1977 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The medal was presented by George Browne, the Melbourne architect, responsible for the Grand Stand built at the MCG for the Test Series against England in 1877. This is the only known extant medal from Browne`s commemoration, but presumably he presented a gold medal to every visiting England player, and perhaps the home team too, as a suitable souvenir of his achievements in developing a ground more than worthy of hosting Test Match cricket. Browne is known to have socialised heavily with James Lillywhite`s English cricketers during the 1876-77 Tour. "The Australasian", Saturday December 2, 1876, p.715 records: … On Saturday last Mr. George Browne, the architect for the grand stand at the M.C.C. ground, drove [the English cricketers] round the city and suburbs in an English drag and six, and entertained them at a sumptuous dinner at Clement`s Cafe in the evening … The present medal was engraved to the Sussex professional Henry Rupert James Charlwood (born Horsham, 19 December 1846 – died Scarborough, 6 June 1888). The right-hand bat played in both the Melbourne Test Matches of 1877. In the historic first match he batted at No.3 for England, scoring 36 in the first innings and 13 in the second innings. During the 2nd Test played March 31st to April 4th, Harry Charlwood batted at No.4 and scored 14 and a duck during England`s 4 wickets victory. In three of his four innings he was the victim of the bowling of Tom Kendall. These were the only two Test maches of H.R.J. Charlwood`s career, that spanned 197 First-Class matches. Harry Charlwood was the mainstay of a poor Sussex county team for several seasons and was noted for his attacking top-order batting style. He was also an occasional lob bowler and a specialist cover fielder, taking 89 career catches. He scored five centuries for, recording a highest score of 155, and scored over 7,000 runs. He later played for Derbyshire and last played in 1882. Returning to the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the first grandstand was a temporary structure erected in 1861 and capable of holding 6,000 spectators. A second, but permanent structure, thereby being referred to as the `First Grand Stand`, was built by George Browne in 1876 in readiness for the visit of James Lillywhite`s England team in 1877. It could seat 2,000 and faced both the ground and the parkland. It was sometimes referred to as the `Reversible Stand` as in the winter the seating could be reversed in order to watch the football games in Yarra Park. The grandstand`s builder was Peter Cunningham and the cost was
