a very pleasant grass airfield on the south coast. with more experience my air gunnery improved and during that year, from memory, i destroyed nine enemy aircraft over france and belgium. i thoroughly enjoyed my time at hawkinge with 91 squadron 91. it was commanded by paddy green and among its pilots were some colourful characters' including tony lee knight, bob holland, 'polly' perkin and chris le roux. i flew 216 operational sorties with the squadron and shot at 109's, dorniers, heinkels, trains, boats, soldiers and anything else that moved that looked german! 100 octane petrol was free on the airfield so i had an extra twenty gallon tank fitted to my magnificent lagonda, which i had previously purchased f for about £30. with it as part of the deal came a great number of four gallon petrol cans, which i had liberally dispersed around the airfield. later i was posted as a flight commander to 122 squadron at hornchurch and on 17th may, 1942, i destroyed an fw 190, but a second or two later was myself shot down by karl willius, flying an fw 190. willius later told me he was extremely upset and angry because i had just killed his best friend, one rolf ermichen. i had baled out and been picked up by german soldiers who relieved me of my gold half-hunter watch and my silver cigarette case. that night willius visited me in the jail at st. omer and before he left asked me if i had any complaints or requests. i told him about the watch and cigarette case and he muttered something about \"army bastards\", and a few hours later the watch, cigarette case, some black sausages and half a dozen pints of lager beer were delivered to my cell with a card that said 'with the compliments of the luftwaffe'. i escaped twice, but was captured on both occasions, and remained a prisoner of war until may, 1945. i left the service in 1958 to begin a rolls-royce chauffeur driven business which, i am happy to say, is thriving today. i flew the hawker hector; westland lysander; spitfire mkii; spitfire 5 (b and c). after the war i attended no. 4 course of the empire test pilots school and flew all types of spitfires up to the mark 24. the aircraft was part of you and when frightened, either in testing or in combat, i think one used to talk to one's spitfire, and i am equally sure that it used to answer. good condition est."},"estimateMax":14,"lotNumber":"13","url":"https://uk.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/chaucerauctions/source/catalog/auction/78389/lot/305736/view","tags":["ukCollectibles_philately","ukCollectibles_MedalsandMilitaria","ukCollectibles","ukCollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":10,"soldPrice":6,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-26T17:09:00.969Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"£10 -

29 august 1989) was a british ornithologist, conservationist, painter, naval officer, broadcaster and sportsman. the only child of antarctic explorer robert falcon scott, he took an interest in observing and shooting wildfowl at a young age and later took to their breeding. he established the wildfowl & wetlands trust in slimbridge in 1946 and helped found the world wide fund for nature, the logo of which he designed. he was a yachting enthusiast from an early age and took up gliding in mid-life. he was part of the uk team for the 1936 summer olympics and won a bronze medal in sailing a one-man dinghy. he was knighted in 1973 for his work in conservation of wild animals and was also a recipient of the wwf gold medal and the j. paul getty wildlife conservation prize. during the second world war, scott served in the royal navy volunteer reserve. as a sub-lieutenant, during the failed evacuation of the 51st highland division he was the british naval officer sent ashore at saint-valery-en-caux in the early hours of 11 june 1940 to evacuate some of the wounded. this was the last evacuation of british troops from the port area of st valery that was not disrupted by enemy fire. at a light coastal forces base, hms vernon, operational officer lieutenant commander scott, briefs motor torpedo boat officers before they set off on anti-e-boat patrols, june 1944. then he served in destroyers in the north atlantic but later moved to commanding the first (and only) squadron of steam gun boats against german e-boats in the english channel. scott is credited with designing the western approaches ship camouflage scheme, which disguised ship superstructures. in july 1940, he managed to get the destroyer hms broke, in which he was serving, experimentally camouflaged, differently on the two sides. to starboard, the ship was painted blue-grey all over, but with white in naturally shadowed areas as countershading, following the ideas of abbott handerson thayer from the first world war. to port, the ship was painted in \"bright pale colours\" to combine some disruption of shape with the ability to fade out during the night, again with shadowed areas painted white. however, he later wrote that compromise was fatal to camouflage, and that invisibility at night (by painting ships in white or other pale colours) had to be the sole objective. by may 1941, all ships in the western approaches (the north atlantic) were ordered to be painted in scott's camouflage scheme. the scheme was said to be so effective that several british ships including hms broke collided with each other. the effectiveness of scott's and thayer's ideas was demonstrated experimentally by the leamington camouflage centre in 1941. under a cloudy overcast sky, the tests showed that a white ship could approach six miles (9.6 km) closer than a black-painted ship before being seen. on 8 july 1941, it was announced that scott had been mentioned in despatches \"for good services in rescuing survivors from a burning vessel\" in april 1941 while serving on hms broke. on 2 october 1942, it was announced that he had again been mentioned in despatches \"for gallantry, daring and skill in the combined attack on dieppe\".[15] he was further mentioned in despatches on 28 september 1943 for an action in the english channel on 26 july 1943. on 1 june 1943, he was awarded the distinguished service cross (dsc) \"for skill and gallantry in action with enemy light forces\"[16] for an action in the english channel on 15 april 1943 while commanding h.m. steam gunboat \"grey goose\". in the london gazette of 9 november 1943, he was awarded a bar to the dsc for actions in the english channel on the 4th and 27 september 1943 while commanding the first sgb flotilla. he was appointed member of the order of the british empire in the military division (mbe) in the 1942 birthday honours. good condition est."},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"44","url":"https://uk.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/chaucerauctions/source/catalog/auction/78389/lot/305767/view","tags":["ukCollectibles_philately","ukCollectibles","ukCollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":300,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-26T19:25:00.757Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"£300 -

6th june, there was a very great danger that the germans would reinforce their troops with their reserves panzer tank corp. these had been stationed at calais due to the germans belief that the invasion would come at that point. the only way to get the panzer through to the beachhead at normandy was via the french saumur tunnel. 617 squadron were assigned to destroy this and were led by the famous leonard cheshire vc om dso dfc. he used 3 mosquitoes as a marker force for the main 617 bomber force and the dropping of flares was so accurate that one of the lancasters put a 12000 tall boy straight through the roof of the tunnel and the tunnel was not reopened until 1946. thomas ben bennett was born in 1919 in poplar. after a civilian career as a clerk he volunteered for military service in 1939. called up in the spring of 1940, he was told that he did not qualify for pilot training as his maths was not sufficiently strong to enable him to cope with aerial navigation. instead he would train as a wireless operator/air gunner. tom's morse skills were insufficient, with the result that he only qualified as an air gunner. service life being what it is, he was then offered, and took, an opportunity to re-muster a navigator. (there were later to be a number of times over germany when he wished he had taken the advice of the wing commander at uxbridge). after an initial course on ansons and blenheims at jurby, isle of man, in april 1942 he was transferred to no. 19 otu, kinloss, where he would team up with his pilot gerry fawke. his first operational posting was to no. 49 sqn at scampton in june 1942. he considered himself fortunate in that they had just declared manchesters non-operational as he arrived and that the squadron was converting to lancasters. on an early operation to duisburg, their aircraft was coned and only violent evasive action by fawke saved the day. during a low level operation against wismar in september 1942, he received a slight flesh wound from shrapnel and was admitted to raf hospital rauceby fawke and bennett took part participated in the daylight le creusot attack of 24 october 1942 during that month tom was recommended for the dfm and subsequently awarded a commission. further trips followed, to include berlin and targets in italy. the crew were just about to depart on their 30th operation, against bremen, when they were prevented from taxying out by charles whitworth, scampton's station commander, who told them that they would not be going, and that their tour was over. tom was then screened and posted for duties at no. 1661 cu, thence to hq no. 5 group at st vincents, grantham, before being sent to no. 1654 cu, wigsley as an instructor. promoted to flying officer in april 1944, he had just arrived on no. 83 sqn at wyton, a pathfinder squadron, when he received a phone call informing him that he was to team up with his former captain at the mosquito training unit at warboys, prior to transfer to 617 sqn. as one of the mosquito marker crews tom and gerry fawke were to help perfect the low level marking technique against increasingly defended targets, starting with the french rail yards of juvisy and la chapelle, then targeting targets in germany, including munich. returning to their forward operating base at manston after the latter trip on 24/25 april, the crew discovered to their chagrin that their markers had hung up and were still there suspended in the bomb bay. transferring to the lancaster for operation taxable, tom was one of the key navigators responsible for perfecting the pattern of overlapping orbits and perfect timing that were vital to the operation's success. such was tom's desire to see recognition for all the squadron's navigators that he was later to lobby leonard cheshire to campaign for a retrospective award, but without success. reverting to the mosquito and their marking role, the crew participated in the attack on the saumur tunnel, and le havre. the squadron then switched to daylight attacks on the large v-weapon sites at watten, wizernes, mimoyceques and siracourt, before again targeting u-boat pens and port facilities. during one of the latter operations, an attack on the gueydon at brest, after diving to low level fawke opened fire on a vessel with the mosquitos cannon and machine guns, prompting tom to comment you've just killed four german sailors in la pallice. later operations also saw the crew armed with cameras to photograph proceedings, and he made the only known image of one of the squadron s mustangs as he used up footage filming wg cdr cheshire formatting on his mosquito. with the squadron's marker role now firmly established with no. 627 sqn, gerry fawke and tom returned to the lancaster. tom became squadron navigation officer during august 1944, and was responsible for overseeing navigation for the first two tirpitz operations and the attacks on west kapelle and the kembs dam. the latter would be tom's final operation on the strength of 617 sqn. posted as station navigation officer, woodhall spa at the end of october 1944, he was still able to keep an eye on his successor and in february 1945 flew with the squadron on two further operations. he would later recall: i flew 62 trips, that's why i tell people i'm lucky to be alive. but i lost a lot of friends and you always remember them as they were - young men. post war tom remained in the raf, serving with the raf delegation in greece in 1949 and later with no. 38 squadron, flying lancasters on maritime reconnaissance in the mediterranean. his final posting saw him as wing adjutant of the raf's initial training school before he left the service, as a squadron leader, in march 1955. good condition est."},"estimateMax":14,"lotNumber":"228","url":"https://uk.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/chaucerauctions/source/catalog/auction/78389/lot/305951/view","tags":["ukCollectibles_philately","ukCollectibles_MedalsandMilitaria","ukCollectibles","ukCollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":10,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-26T19:25:00.905Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"£10 -

as the aircraft plunged nose-down towards the ground from a low altitude - was considerably briefer and more robust: \"oh --.\" he and his observer were lucky to survive and he was awarded the queen's commendation for valuable service in the air. on february 23 1971 millett flew a pre-production model of the anglo-french jaguar from preston to istres (a journey of 738 miles) in 85 minutes and in september that year, after intensive test-flying, he flew a french pre-production model from bordeaux to warton, lancashire, to continue engine development trials. his intensive flying enabled the first production jaguar to roll out in may 1972, only two years after the british decision to order the aircraft. it would see service in the raf for the next three decades. in the 1970s, millett flew the tri-national multi role combat aircraft, better known as the tornado, testing the german prototype over west germany on august 14 1974. then after taxiing trials at warton in october that year, and after days of delay for bad weather, millett took off on october 30 for a 60- minute flight of breathtaking airmanship to show off the new british aircraft to the watching workforce. his display included a short supersonic run, low-level swept-wing passes and a full roll over the aerodrome, together with a touch and go landing and single-engine approach and climb-away. during a high-speed run over the airfield on a test flight in april 1975, millett suffered a double-engine malfunction; he made a rapid but safe landing. by july trials were progressing so well that a refuelling probe was fitted and tested by millett, and soon after the aircraft entered service with the raf. he was awarded the obe for his services to aviation. paul millett was born on march 2 1931 in swindon. his father was an engineer and paul was educated at the commonweal school until he volunteered during national service for a short service career in the fleet air arm. he learnt to fly at raf syerston in nottinghamshire and gained his wings in january 1951. his first operational aircraft was the fairey firefly, flying in 821 naval air squadron from the carrier triumph where an early endorsement in his logbook identified him as a natural aviator. his suffered his first accident when an engine failed and he crashed in an irish bog: but millett was already skilled enough to extend the glide to stop by an island so he could climb out without getting his feet wet. from 1952 he fought in the korean war. while coming in to land on the light carrier glory in february 1953 the starboard wing of millett's firefly dipped and caught a wire as he cut the power. the aircraft crashed over the side and began to sink. as millett was buffeted in the ship's wake he struggled to free his passenger, but both were picked up by the planeguard destroyer comus. millett went on to clock up, while still a sub-lieutenant, 100 combat sorties and 212 deck landings and was awarded the dsc. returning to britain, he was appointed to the central flying school to become an instructor, where he also flew his first jet, the gloster meteor. he taught flying in the sea fury, the firefly and the vampire jet and examined in instrument flying until in 1958 he was sent to etps. good condition est."},"estimateMax":8,"lotNumber":"309","url":"https://uk.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/chaucerauctions/source/catalog/auction/78389/lot/306032/view","tags":["ukCollectibles_philately","ukCollectibles_MedalsandMilitaria","ukCollectibles","ukCollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":6,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-26T19:25:01.006Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"£6 -
