At some point in its history ‘H673 ACA’ has been fitted with a torquey 1915cc four-cylinder Volkswagen diesel engine in place of the original petrol unit, and it rides on an attractive set of nine-spoke alloy wheels rather than the more common steel offerings. The interior features wood-effect kitchen and storage cupboards, a bottled gas two-ring hob with grill and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. The Clarion sound system is suitably in period, with related speakers mounted in the bed base. A 12-volt Zig Marque 1 distribution control manages power to the water pump, lights and electric sockets. The exterior paintwork is generally good, and the vehicle’s history records some repairs to the suspension and wheel bearings. The vendor currently regards the engine, five-speed manual transmission, and interior trim as ‘excellent’, and the bodywork and electrics as ‘good’. The VeeDub comes complete with tow pack, some history and a current MOT valid into November, and is now ready to transport a new keeper on adventures of his or her choice. The Volkswagen Transporter name represents a series of vans that’s been in production for more than 70 years. Now in its seventh generation, and with more than 12 million examples sold globally, the Transporter is the best-selling such vehicle in history. Variants include pick-ups, minibuses, minivans and – most famously – campervans, with the latter having established a cult following that remains as enduring as ever. T1, the first-generation Transporter, was launched in 1950 and derived from the Volkswagen Beetle. T2 was produced from 1967 to ’79, and T3 from 1979 to 1991 - though some production continued in South Africa until 2002. In the UK the T3 Transporter was better known as the T25, and as the VW Vanagon in the United States. The T3 was heavier and slightly larger than its predecessor, with angular styling replacing the familiar curves of the earlier T1 and T2 models.

The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that tragically sank on its maiden voyage in 1912. The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most well-known maritime disasters in history and has captured the public's imagination for over a century.Key points about the RMS Titanic include:1. **Construction and Luxury:** The Titanic was one of the most luxurious and technologically advanced ships of its time. It was built by the White Star Line and was intended to be a showcase of modern engineering and opulence.2. **Maiden Voyage:** The Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City on April 10, 1912. It was carrying over 2,200 passengers and crew members.3. **Collision with Iceberg:** On the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean. The impact caused significant damage to the ship's hull, leading to a series of events that would ultimately lead to its sinking.4. **Sinking:** Despite efforts to control the flooding, the Titanic's compartments were breached by the seawater, and the ship began to sink. The lack of enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew exacerbated the disaster.5. **Loss of Life:** The Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912. More than 1,500 people lost their lives in the disaster, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history.6. **Inquiries and Changes:** The sinking of the Titanic led to widespread outrage and inquiries on both sides of the Atlantic. It highlighted the need for improved safety regulations and practices for passenger ships.7. **Cultural Impact:** The Titanic's sinking has had a profound cultural impact, inspiring numerous books, movies, documentaries, and other media that explore the tragedy and the human stories associated with it.8. **Discovery:** The wreckage of the Titanic was discovered in 1985, about 73 years after its sinking. The ship's remains are located on the ocean floor at a depth of over 12,000 feet.9. **Lessons Learned:** The sinking of the Titanic had a lasting impact on maritime safety regulations. It prompted changes in ship design, navigation practices, and safety procedures to prevent similar disasters.The story of the RMS Titanic continues to captivate people around the world due to its blend of luxury, tragedy, human stories, and the lessons learned from the disaster. The ship's legacy serves as a reminder of the importance of safety, preparedness, and the potential consequences of overlooking such matters in the pursuit of progress.Measures 48 x 36.

BADEN-POWELL ROBERT: (1857-1941) British Lieutenant-General, the founder and first Chief Scout of the world-wide Scout Movement. An interesting, lengthy A.L.S., Robert Baden-Powell, four pages, 8vo, n.p., 1st April 1927, to Lieutenant-Colonel [Edwin] Smedley Williams, on the printed stationery of the Union-Castle Line R.M.M.V. Carnarvon Castle. Baden-Powell informs his correspondent that he has sent Mansergh a final appeal 'to reconsider his view against decentralisation in the distant ports of the Cape Province and against the making (of) a Central Coordinating executive for the Union', adding that Mansergh responded with a further definite refusal, and continuing 'I have pointed out in letters and conversations and, in what his executive committee termed "homilies", to them how essential such reorganisation is to progress and how it is asked for by the four other Provinces and by the three northern districts of the Cape Province. I explained that if the Scout spirit prevailed at Cape Hd. Qrs. they would as members of our team sink their own local prejudices or even interests for the good of the whole. All they did was to move a resolution not quite complimentary to me. I could not help thinking new Scouters would laugh if they saw it! At any rate I did - as I felt inclined to explain to them that our brotherhood is not a Parish Council and we don't move resolutions against people - least of all against "poor bloody old me" as General Tucker would say', further adding 'I am glad however to have seen for myself the entire absence of the Scout spirit at C P. H Q. and thus, if the Union Council ask Imperial Hd. Qrs. in England for powers to alter the Constitution so as to admit of decentralisation and coordinating executive we shall know how to act', concluding by remarking that he is pushed for time as the ship is departing and that he wishes for Strickland and Raftery at Kimberley to see his letter 'to show them how matters stand and that I am entirely in sympathy with your desire to go ahead and expand this movement to do big work for the country, under personal touch of leaders through a completed organisation of compact districts under Dist. Commissrs'. Some light foxing to the upper edges of the page and with a couple of paperclip rust stains to the upper left corner, otherwise about VG In September 1926 Baden-Powell had travelled to South Africa, where he was to remain for six months, in an effort to iron out the radical tensions in the fledgling scouting movement there, Originally, it was proposed that Indians be allowed to become Scouts, but in segregated troops. If this worked, then blacks and 'coloureds' would be formed into troops. However, this was unacceptable to Scouts in the Transvaal, where a separate movement for non-whites, called 'Pathfinders', had been instituted. For some, Scouting was to be a whites-only privilege. In 1927, Natal refused to start a 'Pathfinder' group and began to register Indians as Boy Scouts. Similarly, the provincial commissioner for Cape Colony, C. L. Mansergh, decided to ignore a separate organisation for 'coloureds' called 'Paladins' on the grounds that if he recognised them, the Boy Scouts would remain an all-white preserve. Clearly, Baden-Powell faced a difficult situation with each side lobbying for his support. The Chief Scouts efforts at compromise proved futile as, in 1931, the South African government created a youth movement for boys of Dutch descent - the Voortrekkers.

A FINE PATINATED AND GILT BRONZE TABLE REGULATOR WITH SIX-LEGGED GRAVITY ESCAPEMENTSINCLAIR HARDING, CHELTENHAM, CIRCA 1985-90The circular gilt four double-screwed columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power, external six-legged gravity escapement incorporating jewelled pallets pivoted beneath sub frame mounted on the backplate, and regulated by half-seconds pendulum with wire rod and large diameter heavy gilt brass cylindrical bob, the 6 inch circular silvered dial with eccentric Roman numeral chapter ring interrupted by slender subsidiary seconds ring at six o'clock and with separate outer minute track, applied onto the frosted silvered ground over two curved plates signed SINCLAIR, HARDING to lower margin, with blued steel spade hands within canted gilt circular surround, the case with fluted urn finial to the gilt line bordered stepped cavetto moulded panel upstand over keystone latch for the full-height bevelled front glass and rectangular section patinated bronze corner uprights incorporating horizontal gilt line details at the base of the arch, the sides with curved glasses following the profile of the arch over gilt rail and further rectangular windows, the rear matching the front, the interior with gilt floor applied with silvered pendulum beat scale calibrated 5-0-5 and engraved with serial number 869, on stepped black marble plinth base with chamfered edges and canted angles over brass ball feet.56cm (2ins) high, 26cm (10.25ins) wide, 23cm (9ins) deep. The Cheltenham based clockmaking firm Sinclair Harding was established by Bill Sinclair and Mike Harding in 1967. Between 1971 and around 1995 the business evolved from being initially focussed on restoration and repair to designing and building their own clocks including chiming longcase and table clocks, their design of 'sea clock', giant and perpetual calendar carriage clocks. In 1995 Mike Harding retired leaving the firm in the hands of Robert Bray; the following year Sinclair Harding were commissioned to make the clock for the Oval cricket ground and the business was relocated to North Yorkshire. In 1999 their first scale version of John Harrison's sea clock was produced adding to their ever increasing catalogue of complex timepieces, and 2010 saw Robert Bray awarded the Barrett Silver Medal by the British Horological Institute as well as being appointed Vice President. The firm have always been regular attendees at Baselworld and in 2017 exhibited their Harrison H1 timepiece at Salon QP. The Gravity escapement in the current lot has its roots in the exploratory designs of some of the leading late 18th and early 19th century makers such as Berthoud, Mudge, Cumming and Hardy. Bloxam had come close to perfecting the design in 1853 however was still plagued by the fault encountered by earlier attempts in that the pallets tended to bounce off the escapement locking surface; known as 'tripping'. Edward Denison (later Lord Grimthorp) perfected the gravity escapement in 1860 by eliminating the tripping problem. He did this through the connection of a fly (air brake), directly to the escape arbor via a friction clutch. It allows the fan to advance slightly after the escapement engages the pallet. The inertia provided by the weight of the fly keeps the escapement seated against the pallet during locking; in essence acting as an 'energy sink'. This escapement provides a nearly detached pendulum from the rest of the clockwork and, as there is no sliding friction, there is no need to oil the escapement. These features made the escapement perfect for use in turret clocks where a high degree of accuracy can be maintained with minimal maintenance. There are two principal designs of gravity escapement the first is the double three-legged type the second in the four-legged design. The former uses two pairs of three legs for the pallets and three impulse pins at the centre whilst the second has four legs and four pins. The disadvantage of both of these designs is that the escape arbor revolves either 1/6 (double three legged) or 1/4 (four legged) for each beat of the pendulum hence the train of the timepiece needs suitable long gearing to maintain a reasonably long duration. The current movement is unusual in that it utilizes a six-legged arrangement which has no doubt been employed to facilitate running with a half-seconds pendulum.

A fine Great War submariner’s D.S.M. group of three awarded to Chief Petty Officer W. Dowell, Royal Navy, for his part in the E. 11’s famous patrol in the Sea of Marmora in May 1915, that resulted in the destruction of at least 90 enemy vessels and the award of the V.C. to his skipper, Martin Nasmith. Dowell was also awarded the Royal Humane Society Medal in bronze for his gallant attempts to save life during the ‘Blackwall Disaster’ of June 1898
 Distinguished Service Medal, G.V.R. (146095. W. Dowell, Ch. P.O. H.M. Submarine. E.11.); Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 2 clasps, Cape Colony, South Africa 1901 unofficial rivets (W.

London Gazette 13 September 1915: ‘For service in submarines in the Sea of Marmora.’ R.H.S. Case no. 29,586: ‘At the disaster on June 21st, 1898, as detailed in Case 29,525, W. Dowell, petty officer, H.M.S. Mars, at great risk, rescued three persons.’ William Dowell was born in Poplar, Middlesex in January 1873. He joined the Royal Navy as Boy 2nd Class in August 1888, and advanced to Able Seaman in September 1891. Subsequent service included with H.M.S. Mars, January 1898 - January 1900, during which time he was involved in the ‘Blackwall Disaster’ and was awarded a bronze Royal Humane Society Medal for his actions during that event: ‘A special meeting of the Royal Humane Society was held on Wednesday, Col. Horace Montagu presiding, for the purpose of considering the merits of a number of cases arising out of the Blackwall disaster after the launch of the battleship Albion on the afternoon of June 21st last [1898]. Bronze medals have been awarded to Privates Dorrington and McMillan, of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, who were both standing near when the accident happened, and dived in and saved six between them. Dorrington was struck by wreckage, and then his comrade stuck to him. William Dowell, 26, petty officer, of the battleship Mars, Arthur Freeman, 20, A.B., and George Moir, A.B., both of the Pembroke, very gallantly rescued many persons by diving several times under the floating timbers and wherever people were thought to be. They have been awarded the medal in each case.’ (The Naval and Military Record, 1 September 1898, refers) Thousands of people had gathered to watch the launch of the Albion on the Thames. A wave created by Albion's entry into the water caused a stage from which 200 people were watching to collapse into a side creek, and 34 people, mostly women and children, drowned in one of the worst peacetime disasters in Thames history. Dowell advanced to Petty Officer 1st Class in April 1900, and served with H.M.S. Naiad, March 1901 - August 1904. He advanced to Chief Petty Officer in September 1910, and joined the Submarine Service prior to the Great War - serving at H.M.S. Dolphin, August 1912 - September 1914 and with the submarine depot ships Maidstone and Adamant. Dowell appears to have joined the submarine E.11 on 1 April 1915. The spring of 1915 found the E.11 attached to the Fleet in the Mediterranean and, with Lieutenant-Commander Martin Eric Nasmith in command, she proceeded to make history at a rapid rate. It was in the middle of May that she left for her perilous passage through the Dardanelles, and before she was through them she ran into her first encounter with the enemy. When the Narrows had been successfully negotiated, and the submarine rose to get fresh bearings, two battleships were seen to be lying a little further on. Such an opportunity was not to be let slip without an effort, and, necessarily keeping the periscope above water, Lieutenant-Commander Nasmith at once proceeded to put his boat in a suitable position for launching a torpedo. Unfortunately, the Turks sighted the periscope a minute or two too soon, and instantly the battleships began blazing away with their light guns as hard as they could. At the same time they ‘upped anchor’ and got under way, so there was nothing for it but for the E.11 to dive and hide herself until the furore had subsided. She was far too slow to catch the battleships if she ran submerged, and if she rose to the surface she would almost certainly have been breached by a shell. After a little, therefore, she gently settled herself on the bottom of the Straits, and there she remained until dusk. That same evening she pushed on into the Sea of Marmora, where for several days she alternately rested and cruised about without finding anything that was worth the expenditure of a torpedo. Lieutenant-Commander Nasmith made Constantinople the centre of his operations during the whole of this raid, and his first reward came one Sunday morning, just before half-past six, when a big gunboat was seen cruising off the port. The submarine was ready for instant action, and in less than a minute the fatal torpedo was underway. At 6.25 the gunboat was hit; at 6.30 she had sunk, but not without giving the E.11 something of a shock. While she was heeling well over to the water's edge, a shot was fired that went clean through the submarine's periscope, carrying away about four inches of the diameter a few feet from the base, and leaving the rest standing. Had the shot struck about six feet lower, it would very probably have made a breach in the conning tower, and so rendered the submarine helpless, as she would not have been able to dive. The very next day brought an adventure which, if it was not so exciting, at any rate did not lack in interest. A big steamer was sighted making her way from Constantinople towards the Dardanelles, and the E.11 came to the surface a short distance ahead, fired a shot across her bows, and brought her to a standstill. There happened to be a facetious American newspaper correspondent on board, and when Lieutenant-Commander Nasmith hailed “Who are you?” - meaning, of course, to inquire what the ship was and what was her business - this gentleman replied by giving his own name and that of the paper for which he was working. This was not good enough for the E.11. A few more questions elicited the fact that the ship was a Turkish transport, the Nagara, and when he got as far as that, Nasmith promptly replied, “Right. I am going to sink you”. “May we have time to get off?” queried the newspaper man, by this time rather subdued. “Yes”, came the answer from the submarine, “but be d..... quick about it.” The Turks were so quick that they upset two of their boats in lowering them, and capsized several men into the water, though all of them managed to get into safety again. Then Nasmith went on board the ship to see what she carried. There was a six-inch gun, destined to strengthen the forts on the Dardanelles; there were several sets of mountings for weapons of large calibre; and there was a great quantity of ammunition for heavy guns on its way to the Dardanelles. The ship was, in fact, loaded from keel to upper deck with war material; and when the crew, and the American correspondent, had withdrawn to a safe distance, the submarine drew off, fired a torpedo, and sent the ship to the bottom. The most audacious act of the E.11 was, however, her raid on Constantinople itself. Early one morning, while she was slowly cruising off the mouth of the harbour, she hailed a Turkish merchantman to stop; but the enemy ignored the demand and ran for all he was worth toward the harbour, with the E.11 in hot pursuit. It may have been this incident that gave Nasmith his inspirat...
