Schneider Trophy 1931. An historically important group of three 78 rpm recordings by the three most important men involved in the 1931 Schneider Trophy Contest which Great Britain won outright, retaining the Trophy in perpetuity having won the race three times consecutively (1927, 1929 & 1931), viz. R.J. Mitchell, aircraft designer, A.J. Rowledge, Rolls-Royce engine designer, and Flight Lieutenant J.N. Boothman, pilot. Recorded on HMV 12 inch yellow label “Private Record” discs, but never issued commercially, the British Library Sound Archive is believed to hold copies, probably given to them for posterity by R.J. Mitchell’s son, Dr. Gordon Mitchell. Each recording is introduced by a professional narrator in typical period “BBC” style, and lasts just over four minutes. A set of CD recordings is being sold with this lot.. R.J. Mitchell (part transcription). “... in a very few words I will endeavour to describe one or two of the interesting features of the S6B and also some of the problems of the designer. In the design of a seaplane of this type, the one outstanding and all important requirement is speed, every feature has to be sacrificed to this demand. The result of this is that every part of the aircraft just, and only just, fulfils its requirements... It is not good enough to follow conventional methods of design, it is essential to break new ground and to invent and involve new methods and new ideas... The floats are made so small for the load they have to carry that their reserve buoyancy is less than 40%. The usual reserve buoyancy for seaplane floats is about 100%. The cooling of the engine presents many interesting features. The usual methods employed either by air cooling or by means of honeycomb radiators have very high air resistance, on the S6B the engine is cooled without adding any air resistance. The cooling water is circulated over both surfaces of the wings and most of the surface of the floats, the covering being of a special double-skin construction. Similarly, the oil is circulated along the sides of the body and over the surface of the fin. During flight heat equivalent to 1000 horsepower is being given to the air from these surfaces. The S6B has been aptly described as a flying radiator... I must express the very greatest admiration for the pilots of the High Speed Flight of the Royal Air Force who carried out trials and operated these machines. Their job required great courage and great skill and they played a very important part in developing the machines to their final state. The question is often asked, will higher speeds be attained in the future, I feel quite sure they will. The problems of still higher speeds are no more intense at this stage than they have been at any period in the past. For the present, however, it is generally considered that high speed development has served its purpose. It has accumulated an enormous amount of information which is now being used to improve the breed of everyday aircraft. It is helping to develop our great airlines and ocean-going flying boats and is thus bringing closer together the outlying parts of the British Empire. This indeed is an objective worthy of all our greatest efforts”. A.J. Rowledge (part transcription). “It was not until Lady Houston so generously came forward with her offer to defray the cost of the machines that the decision was made for Great Britain to take part in the 1931 Schneider Trophy contest. This indecision might easily have been fatal to our chances as very little time, only seven months was left for the development of the design to the new standard and the construction of the actual racing engines In preparing the engines for the 1929 contest we were in many ways at the beginning of a development of this particular engine. In 1931 we had more knowledge and data to enable us to tackle the job but at the same time we had a smaller field for development. The 1931 engine, besides giving more power was a more efficient engine than its predecessor... almost every piece of material in the engine is working at its limit of stress or heat capacity, even for the short life required for such an engine We think it will be agreed by most people who saw the engines perform that they did their work in quite a gentlemanly fashion, and that besides giving good power, they were docile and ran smoothly.Looking at the engine, it is perhaps difficult to believe that the engine fitted to it can possibly give more power than a railway engine which has such an imposing size and weighs so many tonnes In conclusion the satisfactory result was due to team work, and in addition to the people already mentioned, a word of praise is due to the suppliers of the materials and the work people”. Arthur Rowledge (1876-1945) joined Napier & Son in 1913 as Chief Designer. After designing car engines and, more notably, the Napier Lion aero engine, Rowledge took up a similar position at Rolls-Royce Limited in 1921, where he became known as “Rg” in company shorthand. He is credited with designing the Condor III, Kestrel and the Rolls-Royce R racing engine, that was used with great success at the 1929 and 1931 Schneider Trophy races. Development work on the Merlin engine was one of his last contributions to aero engine design along with responsibility for the Exe and Pennine projects, before retiring from Rolls-Royce in 1945 at the age of 70. J.N. Boothman (full transcription). “It is rather difficult to record impressions after an event such as the Schneider Trophy Contest because, at the time, one is concentrating so utterly on the job in hand that the prospect of having to make a record later does not enter one’s head. For the contest last year, the former navigability test had been abolished and replaced by a take off, a climb to 50 metres and an alighting, following which the machine had to taxi for about 2 minutes before taking off to cross the starting line of the speed test proper. These new conditions meant a take off at full load, always an extreme test of a racing seaplane, followed by an alighting and a take off at practically full load. On September 13th 1931, the day when the contest was flown, the weather conditions were fairly good, the sea being rather rough but improving rapidly. After a preliminary flight, to test the conditions, I took my seat in the Vickers Supermarine Rolls-Royce S6B and was slipped from the pontoon as the starting gun was fired at 2 minutes past one. The first take off was effected in 40 seconds, the machine making no difficulty about lifting her 6000 pound weight despite the enormous loading of nearly 42 pounds per square foot of wing surface. As soon as we were off the water, the engine with throttle down to half speed in order to conserve fuel, and a left hand circuit made. Over Cowes, the throttle was shut and an alighting made close to the take off position. In spite of the heavy load and the high landing speed of about 110 mph or more, the floats took the rough-ish water beautifully. After taxiing, throttle right down for the specified time, the second take off was started. This one was not so pleasant, the floats running into the wash left from my first effort, the machine receiving rather a hammering from the rough water. Forty seconds saw us in the air again and after a right hand turn, the nose was pointing at Ryde Pier, the starting line of the speed course. This course consists of seven triangular laps of just over 31 miles each. With the throttle wide open we passed over the pier towards the destroyer marking the southern turn near Bembridge in the Isle of Wight, then a gentle left hand turn around the pylon and across the eight miles of open sea to Wittering. The sea here was bad, a heavy swell rolling in from the Channel making any hopes of a successful forced alighting rather small. However the clock-like running of the engine and the perfect way th
* Lady Houston and Members of the 1931 RAF High Speed Flight. An original menu card signed by Lady Houston, Florence Mitchell, Squadron Leader Orlebar, Flight Lieutenant J.M. Boothman, Flight Lieutenant F.W. Long, Flight Lieutenant E.J.L. Hope, Flg Off L.S. Snaith, W.L. Dry, and thirteen others, [Monday 14 September 1931], together with a reprint of a contemporary photograph showing members of the 1931 RAF High Speed Flight with Lady Houston, onboard her yacht the Liberty, R.J. Mitchell standing on the far right. The early 1930s were times of worldwide economic depression... in January 1931 the Labour government, under Prime Minister Ramsay McDonald, announced that in the present financial situation, expenditure of public money to support Great Britain’s participation in the Schneider Trophy could not be justified. Mitchell gave up all hope of there being a contest, then, quite out of the blue, the situation was saved by Lady Houston, who made an unsolicited gift of £100,000. Lady Houston, the widow of a millionaire ship owner, was a very determined, patriotic and wealthy woman who spent most of her time living onboard her private yacht R.T.Y.C. “Liberty”. She intended to embarrass the Labour government by her offer of money and her message to the Prime Minister ended on a mocking note “I know I can confidently rely on the kindly help and co-operation of all who will rejoice if England wins”. The designer, R.J. Mitchell, and the Rolls-Royce company, now had barely six months in which to produce a winning machine - nonetheless they did it! (2)

BLANCHFLOWER, now within a later pierced scrolling frame with suspension loop. Born in Belfast on 10th February 1926, Robert Dennis “Danny” Blanchflower played football for Connsbrook and Bloomfield United before joining Glentoran in December 1945. He joined Barnsley in 1949 for £6,500 and played four times for Northern Ireland before joining Aston Villa in a £15,000 move in March 1951. Whilst with Villa he played a further nine times for Northern Ireland before joining Tottenham Hotspur in December 1954 for £30,000. It was with Spurs that he had major success both at Club and International level. As captain for his national side as well as Spurs, he became one of the most influential and respected players of his generation. In 1958 he was awarded his first Footballer of the Year trophy and led Tottenham Hotspur to their “Double” win in season 1960-61 and a further F.A.Cup win in 1962, for which the present medal was presented. His club playing career culminated in the European Cup-Winners’ Cup win in 1963, with Spurs becoming the first British side to win a European trophy. In a ten year period with Spurs he made a total of 436 appearances, scoring 27 goals, including the third goal in the F.A.Cup final of 1962. He also captained Northern Ireland in their successful 1958 World Cup campaign and played a total of 56 times for his country. He retired from playing football on 30th June 1964 and had a successful career in journalism before returning to football as Chelsea manager in December 1978. He stayed with Chelsea in this capacity until September 1979 before becoming Northern Ireland manager. In the 1962 F.A. Cup final Danny Blanchflower captained Tottenham Hotspur to their second successive Cup final win. The match was played at Wembley on 5th May 1962 with Spurs defeating Burnley 3-1. Blanchflower scored his side’s third and decisive goal from the penalty-spot in the 80th minute.

A 1990 FIFA World Cup runners-up medal, in continental silver by Huguenin, the obverse with the World Cup Trophy in raised relief, the reverse inscribed COUPE DU MONDE DE LA FIFA ITALIE 1990, suspended by medal ribbon in the . Colours of the Italian national flag; sold with a COA (2). This medal was awarded to the Argentinian goalkeeper Nery Alberto Pumpido who began the 1990 World Cup tournament as first-choice goalkeeper. However, tragedy struck and he broke a leg in Argentina’s second game against Russia. In a demonstration of the fickle nature of professional sport, Pumpido’s absence paved the way for his replacement Sergio Goycochea to become a national hero after playing crucial parts in two penalty shoot outs that helped the South Americans reach the final. Ironically, West Germany won the final through a penalty kick five minutes from time.
Steve Fairbairn’s No.7 seat from the Jesus College Boat Club [Cambridge] rowing boat used when finishing Head of the River in 1882, 1883, 1884 & 1885 and when winning the Henley Grand Challenge Cup of 1885, inscribed in gilt with arms and the above details and achievements, and additionally with the names of the oarsmen in seats.5-8 J.W. Dickson, A.M. Hutchinson, S. Fairbairn and C.H. Bicknell (stroke) plus the cox C.E. Tyndale-Biscoe. Steve Fairbairn (25 August 1862-16 May 1938) was a rower and an influential rowing coach, notably at Jesus College Boat Club, Cambridge University, Thames Rowing Club and London Rowing Club in the early decades of the 20th century. All of the features of his coaching methods are referred to as “Fairbairnism”. In 1926 he founded the Head of the River Race for men’s eights held annually since on the Championship Course on the River Thames in London. Similarly he donated a trophy for a head race to be held annually on the River Cam “The Fairbairn Cup.”. A memorial to Fairbairn is situated on the southern bank of the Thames between Putney and Hammersmith. This memorial, a stone obelisk popularly known as the Mile Post, is exactly one mile from the Putney end of the Championship Course. A bronze bust of Fairbairn by George Drinkwater is the winner’s trophy for the Head of the River Race.
