ERNEST BRIAN TRUBSHAW (1924-2001) BRITISH TEST PILOT Brian Trubshaw became one of the best-known test pilots in the world. He was the chief test pilot on the Anglo-French Concorde supersonic airliner and led the team which conducted the huge test flight programme from the British Aircraft Corporation/British Aerospace Flight Test Centre at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. Trubshaw and his co-pilot, John Cochrane, made the maiden flight of the British-assembled Concorde 002 from Filton in Bristol to RAF Fairford on April 9 1969. ‘It was a wizard flight’ he said later and acknowledged that ‘the eyes of millions of people all over the world were focused on us’.

Born on January 29 1924, the son of Major H.E. Trubshaw, then managing the family tinplate company in Llanelli, Brian had been captivated by flying since the age of 10 when he saw the Prince of Wales’s aircraft land on the beach at Pembrey, Carmarthenshire, not far from the family home. Educated at Twyford preparatory school and Winchester College, he joined the Officers Air Training Corps and decided to make the RAF his career, signing up at Lords Cricket Ground in August 1942. After flying training in the United States he returned to Britain in December 1943 and joined Bomber Command in 1944, flying Stirlings and Lancasters. His flying skills were described as exceptional and in 1946 he joined the Kings Flight, then equipped with Vickers Viking transports. His first duty was on the 1947 Royal Tour of South Africa.

Following further training at the Empire Flying School and the RAF Flying College from 1949-50, Trubshaw joined Vickers-Armstrong as an experimental test pilot in May 1950, under the legendary Mutt Summers at the company’s flight test airfield at Wisley, near Weybridge in Surrey. He began by flying the trio of Vickers aircraft that were among the pioneers of jet transport – the Rolls-Royce Nene-powered Viking, the first airliner to be powered exclusively by jet propulsion; the Rolls-Royce Dart propeller-turbine powered Viscount 630 prototype airliner; and the experimental RollsRoyce Tay-powered Viscount prototype. He remained at Vickers for thirty years, becoming chief test pilot in 1960, and director of test flights from 1966.

Trubshaw worked on the development of the Valiant V-Bomber, the Vanguard, the VC10 and the BAC 1-11. His coolness in saving Britain’s prototype VC10 from disaster on an early flight test won him the Derry and Richards Memorial Medal for ‘Outstanding test flying contributing to the advance of aviation’ in 1965. Structural failure had been threatened when an elevator section broke loose and the aircraft shook ‘as though the tail was shaking the dog’. He could not read the instruments because of the violent motion but broadcast to base the nature of the trouble. However, he managed to land the aircraft with only half the elevator control, later describing this manoeuvre as ‘one of my trickier moments’.

During the 1950s the British and French governments had been conducting studies into the practical possibility of supersonic transports and on 29 November 1962 both governments signed an agreement to ‘develop and produce jointly a civil supersonic transport, on the basis of equal sharing between the two countries’. The agreement contained a nobreak clause on the basis that it would not be reasonable for one partner to drop out in the middle of the programme, both sides having committed substantial resources to the programme. Development of the aircraft proved problematic, as costs rose from £140 million to more than £280 million. Following a change of government in the autumn of 1964, Roy Jenkins (Lord Jenkins) minister of aviation, informed the French that the British government wished to cancel the project on the grounds of costs. However, Harold Wilson, the prime minister, was warned by his attorney-general that unilateral withdrawal could result in substantial damages and the doors of the Common Market would be closed forever.

Roy Jenkins came back from France with a bloody nose and Harold Wilson had to admit defeat!

Concorde (the French having insisted on the final ‘e’) eventually went into commercial service on January 21 1976 when British Airways flew to Bahrain and Air France to Rio de Janeiro simultaneously.

Trubshaw retired in 1986 at the age of 62 and was thereafter widely sought after as an aviation consultant, notably in charge of the flying displays at successive Farnborough air shows for many years.

Created in 1938-9, the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) was a British World War II civilian organisation based at White Waltham Airfield, that ferried new, repaired and damaged military aircraft between UK factories, assembly plants, transatlantic delivery points, maintenance units (MU), scrapyards and active service squadrons and airfields - but not to aircraft carriers. It also flew service personnel on urgent duty from one place to another and performed air ambulance work. The creation of the ATA freed up the much-needed combat pilot for pilot duty.

The organisation recruited pilots who were considered unsuitable for reasons of age or fitness for either the Royal Air Force or the Fleet Air Arm (therefore humorously referred to as 'Ancient and Tattered Airmen' or 'Always Terrified Airwomen'), this included pilots from twenty-eight different countries, including women pilots. There were 156 women pilots (1 in 8 of the entire service) who volunteered from Britain, the Commonwealth (Canada, New Zealand and South Africa), United States, the Netherlands, Poland, and one from Argentina. Fifteen lost their lives in the air, including British pioneer aviatrix Amy Johnson.

One of the many notable achievements of the women is that they earned the same pay as men of equal rank, starting in 1943. Although initially restricted to non-combat types (i.e. trainers and transports), women pilots were eventually permitted to fly virtually every aircraft flown by the RAF and Fleet Air Arm including the four-engined bombers but excluding the largest flying boats. Once cleared to fly one class of aircraft, pilots could be asked to ferry any plane in that class even if they had never seen that type of aircraft before. To do so they were issued with Ferry Pilot Notes, a two-ring book of small cards with the critical statistics and notations necessary to ferry each aircraft.

By 1944 the ATA had fourteen ferry pools, 1152 male pilots, 166 female pilots, 151 flight engineers, 19 radio officers, 27 ATC and sea cadets and 2786 ground staff.

129 men and 20 women were killed in service. Thirty-six pilots, among them two women, received Certificates of Commendation from the British government.

Four women pilots, Pauline Gower, Margot Gore, Joan Hughes and Rosemary Rees, were awarded MBEs. During its lifetime the organization clocked up over 400,000 flying hours, delivered over 300,000 aircraft of 130 types, shifted over 800 tons of freight and carried almost 3,500 passengers without casualty.

Lord Beaverbrook (Max Aitken, 1st Baron Beaverbrook), gave an appropriate tribute at the closing ceremony disbanding the ATA at White Waltham on 30 November 1945. "Without the ATA the days and nights of the Battle of Britain would have been conducted under conditions quite different from the actual events... Just as the Battle of Britain is the accomplishment and achievement of the RAF, likewise it can be declared that the ATA sustained and supported them in the battle. They were soldiers fighting in the struggle just as completely as if they had been engaged on the battlefront'.

87* Mackay (The Hon. Elsie, 1893-1928, Aviatrix). A fine miniature portrait of the subject, c. 1920s, watercolour on ivory panel mounted in glazed gilt pendant frame set within a fitted velvet-lined leather-covered easel-backed display case, finely executed head & shoulders deshabille study of the young lady probably created to mark her coming-out as debutante with imagery in the flapper-style of the period. Elsie Mackay was well-known as a keen aviator and aspired to be the first woman to cross the Atlantic from East to West, ill-conceived and possibly inadequately prepared at short notice the attempt she made on 13th March 1928 ended with tragic fatal results. The framed portrait is accompanied by a newspaper-cutting dated May 23rd 1932 recounting a litany of such failed endeavours, and also with two signed letterheads relating to Henry Charles Keith Marquess of Lansdowne (presumed relative of Lord Inchcape) relating to proxy-voting at AGM meetings of the Bengal Coal Co. in which he had shares, dated 1906, together with a very recent article from the Sunday Times dated August 2013 providing a brief biography with relevance to her inheritance which her father donated to the Government of the day “to help pay off the National Debt” after the Great Depression - a sum of 00,000 was donated and has been held in trust along with other donated monies and bequests now totalling some many millions of pounds, which have finally been released into Government coffers in 2013, some eighty years later Elsie Mackay was the daughter of Lord Inchcape of Glenapp, Ayrshire, a wealthy aristocrat and chairman of the P&O Shipping-line amongst other business activities. Born in India in 1893, where her father had business interests, she was a beauty of her time and enjoyed a brief career as an actress Poppy Wyndham in silent films of the era, having eloped with an actor Dennis Wyndham, (the marriage annulled in 1922) after which she devoted her attention to Interior Decorating on a grand scale in Ocean Liners for P&O, and also turning to more tomboyish pursuits such as flying, gaining her Royal Aero Club licence at Brooklands. Against her family wishes, whilst Lord & Lady Inchcape were on a touring holiday in Egypt in 1928, she conspired with a co-pilot Captain Walter G. Hinchcliffe to embark on her personal mission in a Stinson Detroiter monoplane, which took off from RAF Cranwell on 13th of March 1928, using him as a decoy to avert attention from her ambition, and travelling as a passenger named “Gordon Sinclair” so that she would take over the controls when out of sight. Once airborne, apart from probable sightings off the West Coast of Ireland, and by a transatlantic steamer at sea, they were never seen again; it is presumed they flew into adverse weather and icy storms, which were prevalent in mid-Atlantic during that season, or flew too low and crashed into the sea. The family were devastated and ultimately in recognition of her brave attempt, her father donated her property inheritance to the Government, so that at least some benefit may have accrued to the Nation as her memorial.

Bristol developed 14-cylinder versions their “Perseus” engine, a more powerful version of which became the “Hercules” available in 1939 as the 1,290 hp Hercules I, subsequently followed by a series of up-rated and more powerful units throughout a long service period. It powered a number of aircraft including Bristol’s own Beaufighter, although it was more commonly used on bombers. The Hercules also saw use in civilian designs, culminating in the 735 and 737 engines for such as the Handley Page Hastings C1 and C3 and Bristol Freighter. The design was also licensed for production in France with 2000 hp-range versions available in the 1950s. It was considered to be one of the more reliable aircraft engines of the era.

Squadron Leader Richard A. McMurtrie DSO, DFC was CO of No. 269 Squadron from August 1940 until July 1941. During the closing days of 1940 McMurtrie took part in a special bombing raid on the well-known sports centre of Finse in Norway where a large number of German officers and Norwegian ?? were enjoying a skiing holiday. The objectives were to destroy the ski resorts railway link with Havgastol and to cause as many casualties amongst the Germans and Norwegian traitors as possible. As part of their briefing, the crews were shown a pre-war travel film which showed the nature and appearance of the target. Three attacks were made on 18th, 20th and 22nd December 1940. McMurtrie successfully located and attacked Finse, flying up and down the target with his navigation lights on in order to show the way to the rest of the Squadron. McMurtrie led the two following raids in which Bristol Beauforts saw direct hits on the snowsheds and the railway line. It was later discovered that two mechanical snow ploughs had been destroyed in the railway station and that the line was blocked for many weeks. McMurtrie finished the war with seventy-six operational flights to his credit. (a carton) £100-150

G.M. London Gazette 12.6.1942 Petty Officer Charles Reginald le Bargy DSM, P/J.559 ‘For gallantry and an undaunted devotion to duty’.

Lieutenant Charles Reginald le Bargy, GM, DSM, Royal Navy was born in Guernsey 1.9.1893, joined the Royal Navy in 1911, served in various ships during WWI including H.M.S. Impreganable, Victory I and Malaya, served during WWII on H.M.S. Angelo (the naval shore establishment at Malta) from 14.4.1939-30.6.1942, in September 1941 a Torpedo Machine (a device in which the Italians specialised) was dropped in 15 feet of water in St. George’s Bay, Malta, and Lt Cdr W.E. Hiscock was given the task of disarming it. The operation of salvage was one of considerable danger as, quite apart from the possibility of booby traps, no information was available as to the firing mechanism of the explosive head and its behaviour when parted from the body was a matter of complete uncertainty. While Lt Cdr Hiscock and his assistant, Petty Officer le Bargy were working on the bomb, the clock mechanism started and it was only their cool determination and skill which brought the operation to a successful conclusion. Lt Hiscock was awarded a posthumous George Cross (Lt.Cdr Hiscock and his wife were killed in Malta when their house received a direct bomb hit 15.2.1942) and Petty Officer le Bargy a George Medal, in recognition for their service as “Render Mines Safe” (RMS) operatives, it would appear from records that both the George Cross and Medal were endorsed by the Commander-in-Chief Mediterranean in November 1941. Lieutenant C. le Bargy’s full size medals are on display in the Royal Guernsey Militia Regimental Museum at Castle Cornet.

Royal Mint case of issue, letter from Buckingham Palace named to the recipient in envelope, official citation, telegram from General Robertson congratulating the recipient and another detailing approval of award by the Queen Although Bujakowski’s BEM was, in fact, gazetted for meritorious service, the nature and terminology of the citation is far more suggestive of a specific award for gallantry such as the MM. It seems very possible therefore that an error may have occurred somewhere in the issuing procedure and, when the emblem for BEM gallantry was introduced in 1957, the recipient took the decision to ‘embellish’ his medal so that it would at least appear as a more suitable reward for his earlier actions.

B.E.M. London Gazette 2.5.1952 No.22221011 Private (L/Cpl) Wlodzimierz Bujakowski, The Queen’s Royal Regiment (West Surrey). Lance-Corporal Bujakowski was a section commander in the Filtration Plant, at Suez when firing broke out on 3/4 January 1952. Although he had not been under fire before, he set an example of personal bravery showing a complete disregard to hostile fire. Whenever firing broke out in different parts of the plant, he invariably volunteered and succeeded in obtaining information. In addition he handled his section weapons with such skill and dash that casualties in his section from opposing snipers were reduced to a minimum. His personal leadership and control throughout a long period of most difficult circumstances has a balancing effect on those under his command, and his bearing was at all times in accordance with the highest standards of the Army and his Regiment.

W.Gds:), British War and Victory Medals (61 Cpl. A. Lawless. W.Gds.), extremely fine, with a black and white portrait photograph of the recipient in uniform plus the grave and copied research including modern colour photographs of a war memorial and landscape 61 Corporal Albert Lawless, born in Frodsham, Cheshire, served with the 1st Battalion, Welsh Guards on the Western Front from 17.8.1915, Lawless was killed in action 27.9.1918 when the 1st Battalion were due to assault the Hindenburg Line, ‘The task given to the Guards Division was to force the canal, breach the Hindenburg support team, and then secure a ridge of high ground which ran east and northeast of Flesquiries to Premy Chapel’. During the night of the 26/27th the troops moved up to their positions in pouring rain, which caused some delay. But punctually at 5.20am, 2nd Guards Brigade launched their attack across the canal, and by 7am, they had established a bridgehead. By 11am, 1st Guards Brigade had passed through and gained a further 1,000 yards.

Both brigades had suffered considerable casualties, first from the Hindenburg Support Line and then from Graincourt, outside their boundary to their left. Graincourt continued to give trouble until about 4.30pm when it was captured by the 57th Division, after a desperate resistance by the Germans. The 1st Battalion, Welsh Guards, crossed the canal at Lock 7, an obvious target for enemy shellfire, but they darted across by sections, miraculously without casualties. They then formed up in support of the 1st Grenadiers and closely followed their advance towards Flesquieres. This was at about 9am. The battle now became confused. Communications broke down between battalions and brigade, and between brigade and division. Grenadiers and Welshmen worked closely together, but in doing so became inextricably mixed. At about midday Captain L.F. Ellis, taking

advantage of some abandoned trenches running towards Flesquieres, led No 3 Company to the outskirts of the village, where he was eventually joined by the Prince of Wales and No 2 Companies.

The whole Battalion then secured a line, north of the village, in a sunken road. The Grenadier and Welsh Guards had now driven a tenuous wedge into the German lines: from Graincourt on the left, German gunners were firing at them over open sights, while any movement beyond Flesquieres drew violent machine gun fire from the right. It was in the sunken road that Lieutenant-Colonel Luxmoore-Ball met Lord Gort, commanding the Grenadiers. Gort had been held up by a strongpoint in a beet factory, just north of Flesquieres. This he had successfully outflanked. Now he asked for Luxmoore-Ball’s assistance in fighting his way further along the ridge, towards Premy Chapel. This was readily agreed by Luxmoore-Ball, who ordered Nos. 2 and 3 Companies to advance either side of the ridge and guard the Grenadiers’s flanks. The battle along the ridge was a fierce one. The leading companies got within 50 yards of the Premy defences, but were held by intense machine gun fire. Gort was severely wounded (for this action he was awarded the Victoria Cross), and LuxmooreBall, now senior officer on the spot decided that no further attempts could be made for the moment.

He had no artillery support, the Germans could be seen reinforcing Premy, and with both flanks open, the position of the two battalions was too deep and narrow for comfort. He therefore ordered the battalions to stand fast, a decision which was confirmed by Brigade Headquarters. At 4.30pm, the pressure was relieved. On the left Graincourt fell to the 57th Division, and 12th Division came up in line on the right. By 7.30pm the whole position was firm enough for the two battalions to be relieved. The 1st Battalion, Welsh Guards, lost 87 killed and wounded that day, a day of which the Guards Division could be proud. To have stormed the Canal du Nord and cut through the Hindenburg defence system was a considerable feat of arms.’’

Mrs Elizabeth Plumb, First Class Stewardess, Enemy surface raiders attacked and sank the ship. Although badly wounded, Mrs. Plumb aided and guided her passengers from their quarters to the boat stations, and then cared for them when in the lifeboat. When on board the raider she refused medical attention until all the injured had been attended to, and it was only when the doctors saw that she was fainting from loss of blood that they treated her and found she had been lacerated by shell splinters.

27th November 1940. The R.M.S. Rangitane was part of the New Zealand Shipping Line and was one of the largest passenger liners to be sunk during WWII. Carrying about 100 passengers and 200 crew she left Auckland Harbour in the early afternoon of 24th November 1940 (en route to England via the Panama Canal). At 03.47am on 27th November around 600 miles from Auckland she was intercepted by German raiders Komet and Orion two small, scruffy ships disguised as Japanese merchant traders. A barrage of torpedoes set the Rangitane on fire killing a total of 16, of whom 6 were passengers. The surviving passengers were then taken and held on the Tokyo Maru (a German supply ship) and later transferred along with other passenger ships survivors on to the small island of Emirau in the Bismarck Archipelago (a total of 495 prisoners were held on the island). They remained there until they were rescued in January 1941.

When the rescue ship safely returned to Sydney they were given a civic welcome and before many returned home. Stewardess Elizabeth Plumb remained in Auckland and would not return to England, in a letter dated 28.4.1941 (included in this lot) she writes ‘owing to having been wounded and nerves badly shattered I am reluctantly compelled to stay in New Zealand for an indefinite period on account of this’.

In the event, advances were far more significant than the preparations had planned for, in some parts extending well beyond the pen/pencil line drawn on these maps.

Provenance: Squadron Leader H C K Henderson, RAF, whose military map collection was recently sold by his son. At the end of World War II, a vast Nazi intelligence library was discovered in Austria and Henderson was sent to recover the library before it fell into the hands of the Soviet Union. While these maps would clearly not have originated from that source, the fact that Henderson acquired and kept them is further indication of their authenticity as battle plan maps.

THE RHODES COLLECTION OF RAILWAYANA

John Michael Rhodes (1946-2002) This collection began with a little boy’s love of the steam trains that daily ran past the bottom of his garden to nearby Stafford Station. The railway captured his imagination; for a young John there was no better way to spend a day than to travel from station to station collecting engine numbers and timetables. His first job as a fireman gave him the chance to fully experience the majesty of steam trains before the advent of the electrics - always a cherished memory.What you see represents a life and passion that remained with him always.

Conditions of Sale and Business 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account.

3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared.

5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.

6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded.

8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer.

9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof.

10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.

11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage.

The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions.

12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses.

13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots.

14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein.

15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.

Postage can be arranged for most purchases. For UK and European customers we use DPD (formerly Parceline) or Royal Mail: a separate charge is added to the invoice (minimum ÂŁ15) and parcels are despatched as soon as possible after payment has been received. All framed and glazed items and all lots for overseas customers outside Europe will be sent to Mail Boxes Etc. (tel: Swindon 01793 525009) or R.F. Shipping (tel: London 0845 873 6240). Both of these companies will quote and invoice separately. Please note: DWBA invoices must be paid before consignments are handed to third party shipping companies.

The nearest train station to the saleroom is Kemble (BR) which is on the London (Paddington) to Worcester Shrub Hill line. Train journey times from London are on average 90 minutes whether direct or with one change, and run at about one per hour from early until late. Several of the trains in each direction are direct and about half the services require a brief change at Swindon. Customers are advised to check train times and book as early as possible for the best range of ticket services and discounts.
