In this two page letter Kresse invites Van Gelder and his wife to come to his house. He writes about his many animals but 'We schijnen hier op vruchtbare bodem neergestreken te zijn. Hoop, dat het niet op mensen van toepassing is, want dan geef ik er de voorkeur aan, tijdig te verhuizen. Niettemin ben ik wel gek op kinderen, zolang ze van een ander zijn'. Later on he asks Van Gelder about their old colleage Henk Kabos 'Als je hem ziet, zeg hem dan, dat ik hem een aardige kerel vindt, maar dat ik het helemaal niet leuk vind, dat hij nooit een komt. Hij heeft het al zo lang beloofd. En als hij niet wil, kan hij barsten. BARSTEN. Zeg hem dat. Bedankt.' On the arts: 'Hoe staat het met de kunst? Werkt het prettig bij Geesink? Ik zit nog steeds met die strips te zwoegen. Het lijkt wel een fabriek. Enfin, ik mag niet mopperen en dat doe ik ook niet, maar ik zou wel weer eens een schilderijtje of zo willen maken. Zo langzamerhand word ik kleurenblind van al die tekeninkt.'

1960 Velocette Venom, 498cc. Registration number NBV 669. Frame number RS12811. Engine number VM 4670. Sold with the V5C, large history folder of receipts for works undertaken and related material. The Venom was introduced in 1955. In 1961 a factory-prepared Venom with a small fairing set the world’s 24-hour endurance speed record of 100.05 MPH at the Montlhery race track in France. The record stood until 2008 for 500cc motorcycles. The Venom had an alloy cylinder with cast iron liner, an alloy cylinder head and a high compression piston. The cam was set high in the crankcase to allow for very short pushrods. This offered some of the benefits of an overhead cam setup, but was much simpler and cheaper to produce. The Venom was produced until 1970. NBV was owned by John Hallam in 2009, our vendor buying it in 2011. In 2013 he had the engine stripped and rebuilt by Alec Swallow at a cost of £500, the speedo was rebuilt at the same time and reset, it has covered some 4,500 since. In 2018 the gearbox was stripped and rebuilt, the alloy rims have stainless steel spokes, a 12v Alton alternator, a rebuilt magneto and recent Hagon shocks. It is only being sold due to arthritis in his thumbs. Sold with the V5C, large history folder of receipts for works undertaken and related material.

R.N.); United States of America, Navy Cross, silver, nearly extremely fine (6) £2,000-£2,400 --- D.S.O. London Gazette 22 February 1918: 'In recognition of the good work and arduous service performed by him in command of the Rufigi River Transport Service, between December, 1916, and July, 1917. He carried out the task of transporting motor-boats overland from Dar-es-Salaam to the river near Kibambawe in spite of almost insurmountable difficulties and often under shell fire. The presence of the motor-boats on the upper Rufigi River was of the very greatest assistance to the military operations.' M.B.E. (Civil) London Gazette 1 June 1953: Captain Philip Henry Trimmer, D.S.O., Royal Navy (Retired), Honorary Secretary, Guildford Unit Committee, Sea Cadet Corps. U.S.A. Navy Cross London Gazette 29 April 1919: ‘For extraordinary heroism in action and distinguished service as Flag Commander (Royal Navy) on the Staff of the Admiral Commanding on the North America Station.' Philip Henry Trimmer was born at Alton, Hampshire, on 25 August 1878. He joined the Royal Navy on 15 July 1892, and was promoted Midshipman on 15 December 1894; Sub-Lieutenant on 15 June 1898; Lieutenant on 31 December 1900; Lieutenant-Commander on 31 December 1908; and Commander on 30 June 1914. His rapid promotion was achieved whilst serving aboard a vast variety of ships in this time, notably T.B.108 and T.B.111, and his Officer's Service Record is littered with praise, notably 'zealous, capable, energetic', and 'intelligent'. Nevertheless, he did make a couple of mistakes, firstly losing confidential documents, and secondly, blamed for a lack of supervision which culminated in a fatality aboard H.M.S. Hibernia whilst coaling. Placed briefly in Command of the cruiser H.M.S. Talbot in the early months of the Great War, Trimmer was transferred to German East Africa in December 1915. Placed in Command of the river transport boats, he was Mentioned in Despatches on 28 January 1917 for 'marked ability on various occasions'. This was followed by the award of the D.S.O. and recommendation for promotion by his superiors. Placed in Command of the yacht Warrior from 20 September 1918 to January 1919, as Flag Commander to Admiral Sir William Grant, Trimmer was further recognised by the United States Government, his Officer's Service Record adding: 'Ability. Professional standing of great assistance when two navies were brought into contact.' Retiring from the Royal Navy on 13 November 1924, and reverting to the rank of Captain, Trimmer later settled in Guildford and served his local branch of Sea Cadet Corps. He died in Surrey in 1959.
