The Fours visited Tangmere Military Aviation Museum on Tuesday 28th April 2010 as part of studying their topic of World War Two in History. The visit took the children back in time as historians, to the days when Tangmere airfield was the most important RAF base in the country during World War Two, leading the fight for the skies. The children studied a vast array of artefacts at the museum and learnt about the Battle of Britain, the life of Spitfire pilots and the well-known figure of Douglas Bader. This was particularly intriguing for our Fours in Bader House!

On this occasion, the Fours had the privilege of meeting RAF Wing Commander Bryan Baker (pictured in the photo with the children on the right). Bryan’s illustrious career involved commanding the well-known and highly regarded Number 1 Squadron, when they flew Hawker Hunter jet fighters. Number 1 and Number 43 Fighter Squadrons included the best of British fighter pilots in their day and these courageous fighter pilots were the legendary heroes of the skies held in high acclaim just like the Red Arrows of today. For all those aviation fans among you, Bryan flew the same type of jet as Neville Duke’s Red Hunter in which he set the world speed record.

The trip gave the children excellent experience of first-hand evidence from World War Two and fresh insights into this incredibly dramatic period in British history. In addition to meeting and having a special tour by Bryan Baker, the other highlight of the day for many children was sitting in the cockpit of the flight simulator and enjoying the thrill of stepping into the shoes of great Spitfire heroes just like the irrepressible Bader himself!

This June, Mark Mitchell (’96) will be exhibiting at the Art Antiques London – one of the Haughton Fairs -  His stand is B4

http://www.haughton.com/international-fairs/17/fair_pages/art-antiques-london

From April next year though he will be doing a solo show on Stephen Rose at the Mayfair gallery -  Paul Mitchell Ltd, 17 Avery Row, Brook Street, London W1K 4BF

BBC2 screened a programme which featured three ‘fathers-to-be,’ one of whom was Jamie Newton, husband of Nicole (nee Liddell ’94 see below). Central to the‘story’ obviously was how he coped with the birth of their baby Ella, which took place at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. Nicole clearly had her part to play too (!), but, most extraordinarily, so too did the attending mid-wife, none other than Natasha Cullen (nee Scrimgeour ’01 right). It was an amazing piece of Windlesham serendipity and one that was especially delightful in that during the proceedings their mutual Windlesham connection did actually emerge in conversation! What a tribute to the ‘network’!

 

On March 20th on BBC2 in an edition of Horizon, the presenter was surgeon and author Gabriel Weston (’83). The programme, entitled The Truth About Fat,’ gave a fascinating insight into why people are piling on the pounds and focused on the very latest research into how what she called ‘the disease of obesity’ can be confronted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The BAFTA Awards 2011: Best Features programme:

Harry Fenn (’10) is currently starring in Coriolanus, directed by and starring Ralph Fiennes.  Seen here below with Vanessa Redgrave, John Kani and Jessica Chastain, Harry plays Young Martius, his first major role which he landed while still here at Windlesham.  The reviews have been amazing and we are all very proud of him.

 

Tamzin Merchant (2000), who can be seen playing the beautiful Rosa Bud in The Mystery of Edwin Drood on BBC2 from January 10th.

Edwin Drood, Charles Dickens’s great unfinished work, was incomplete when the master writer died in 1870 and has now been given a new ending by writer Gwyneth Hughes in a major BBC adaptation.  Tamzin plays Rosa Bud, Edwin Drood’s 17 year old fiancée who is starting to have reservations about their long-standing betrothal.

Tamzin’s breakthrough role was in the 2005 big-screen adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Since then she’s appeared in many films and TV dramas, including Jane Eyre, The Tudors and DCI Banks.
