A rare and exceptionally well-documented Great War A.F.M. group of four awarded to Bristol F.2b fighter pilot, Sergeant W. ‘Cockney’ Rogers, 11 and 48 Squadrons, Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force - decorated in recognition of his hazardous work with the Ferry Service, he went on to become one of civil aviation's 'Greats' Described as a ‘man bereft of nerves’, Rogers was a founder pilot of Imperial Airways, and set about blazing a trail of 'firsts' in the 1920s and 1930s. His friend 'GPO' Olley may have beaten him to the one million miles flown mark in 1931 but 'Cockney' claimed a 'royal first' in March 1928, when he flew King Amanullah of Afghanistan over London. His Majesty - the first King to have taken to the skies over the capital - rewarded his pilot with the Order of the Throne, in gold. Rogers had already flown the first commercial flights to Norway and Sweden, and had amassed 10,500 flying hours by 1935 - finally retiring from Civil Aviation in 1948, doubtless having lost count of how many flying hours he had amassed! Air Force Medal, G.V.R. (1018 Sergt. Mech. Rogers, W., R.A.F.) on 1st type horizontal striped riband, suspension slightly loose; 1914-15 Star (1018 1. A.M. W. Rogers. R.F.C.); British War and Victory Medals (1018 Sgt. W. Rogers R.F.C.) together with the case of issue for the Afghan Order of the Throne (awarded in 1928, lost in 1933), nearly extremely fine (lot) £3,000-£4,000 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, June 1996 A.F.M. London Gazette 1 January 1919. Walter ‘Cockney’ Rogers was born in Vauxhall, London, 31 May 1895. He left school at the age of 14 and had several jobs locally before he joined the Royal Flying Corps, 2 January 1914, aged 18 years and 9 months. Initially attached to 6 Squadron as a mechanic on the home establishment, Rogers went to France with 10 Squadron in late 1914 and witnessed active service as a Gunner and Observer before returning to the U.K. in November 1915, to be hospitalised after an appendix operation. When fit Rogers was posted to Castle Bromwich, and from there to Flying School in May 1917, where he gained his Royal Aero Club Certificate No. 5800 in August 1917. Rogers was again posted to France, this time as a pilot, serving with 11 and 48 Squadrons flying Bristol F.2b’s from La Bellevue. In February 1918, he was attached to Ferry Service Duty at Orchard Hotel, Portman Street, London W2. His job was to collect crash repairs from various factories or airfields, test them and fly them to the Squadrons in France. Rogers came home to take up an appointment in the Ferry Service, a challenging - and hazardous - occupation. His fellow 'ferryman', 'GPO' Olley, M.M., takes up the story: ‘This work of testing new and untried craft certainly had its exciting moments. Cylinders would suddenly blow off engines. Mechanical defects of all kinds would develop in the air. One had to make hurried forced landings in all sorts of awkward places. But, though it was all rather trying, it was, of course, fine experience from a flying point of view, teaching one to be ready for any sort of emergency that might arise.' Rogers - who was injured in an incident on 24 February 1918 - was awarded the A.F.M. He nonetheless made light of his exploits, for his modesty was as well-known as his skills as a pilot. Thankfully, his demanding role as a Ferry Pilot had been the subject of lighter moments, such as the occasion he was returning from delivering an aircraft to France. On disembarking at Dover - covered in grease, oil and mud - a group of ladies thanked him for 'doing his bit against the Hun' and presented him with chocolates and cigarettes. A humbled Rogers could not summon the courage to tell them he made the same trip at least twice a week. On leaving the Royal Air Force in February 1920, Rogers took a job with Handley Page flying passengers in converted bombers. He then joined Imperial Airways when they were formed (one of the original 16 founding pilots). Rogers had the distinction of being the first pilot to fly a commercial flight to Norway and Sweden during June 1920, and also the honour of being the first pilot to fly a King over London. This was King Amanullah of Afghanistan who visited England in early 1928, and presented Rogers with the Order of the Throne in celebration of the flight. As reported in The Times, King Amanullah asked to be introduced to Rogers when they landed back at Croydon. He 'complimented him on the skilful way in which the aircraft had been handled, expressed his pleasure at the smoothness of the flight, and remarked that he had never before flown in a commercial airliner'. During the 1930’s he was Senior Captain with Imperial Airways flying from Croydon to the continent on their passenger routes, mainly with HP 42’s and Argosy aircraft. Rogers did many trailblazing flights to Italy, Greece and the Middle East as well as freelance work for newspaper reporters and sport promoters, and had some busy times during the Munich Crisis 1938. In 1935 Rogers completed his millionth mile flown in the air, some 10,500 actual flying hours. A feat that was recorded in The Daily Express, 16 November 1935, thus: “Pilot Has a Million Reasons for Saying "Flying is Safe" Do you know what Captain W. Rogers, Imperial Airways senior pilot, says? "I have flown more than a million miles and have never had an accident. That shows how safe flying is." Bald facts about Captain Rogers apart from the million-mile achievement are: He has just completed 10,500 hours in the air. He has crossed the Channel more than 4,000 times. Human facts about Captain Rogers are still more interesting: He is the fittest, most invigorating man you could hope to meet. He told me: "Yesterday I was taking up a small aeroplane; left the ground in a few seconds, naturally. Yet I can remember when one got into the forerunner of that aeroplane and friends on the aerodrome would lay odds as to whether you would ever get off the ground, or, if you did, which tree you would hit before you got clear." ' The following year, Rogers had the misfortune of being the subject of brutal treatment by Italian soldiery in Libya. A newspaper feature takes up the story: 'Reports of "brutal treatment" of an Imperial Airways "crack" pilot and his crew of three men, by the Italian army authorities in Libya, are being investigated by the Foreign Office. It is alleged that the four men were treated with extreme harshness by the Italian soldiers, and that one least one occasion they were paraded as objects of derision, and at the point of bayonets, before Italian troops … The machine landed at Mesylam, in Libya, and was immediately put under armed guard. The pilot and crew were also put under escort and closely questioned. All their documents were seized … ' It was a deeply unpleasant experience but ended the following day, when 'Cockney' and his crew were permitted to continue their journey. The Italians claimed his aircraft had flown over 'military areas' at Amsat, even though these areas were - by earlier agreement with the Italians - on a pre-arranged flight path. When the Second World War broke out, Rogers was once again involved in flying and testing crash repairs and other aircraft. In 1946 Rogers was one of the first pilots to start flying commercial aircraft again, this time with the Hunting Group, and eventually retired from Civil Aviation some time in 1948 after 34 years association with all aspects of flying and many different aircraft. Rogers retired to the Sussex coast and died in 1977, aged 82. Sold with the following origi...

DUFFTOWN 14 YEAR OLD MANAGER'S DRAM 2014 SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Bottled: 11/2014Bottle Number: 072256.2% ABV / 70cl One of the best-known single malt whisky brands in the world, Singleton, is not actually a distillery, but rather three distilleries: Glen Ord, Glendullan and Dufftown. Originally, each one catered to a specific global market based on its flavour profile, but these days they can each be found further afield. With spirit stills that are larger than its wash stills, Dufftown used to produce a heavier spirit described as “nutty and spicy”. However, more recently it has lengthened its fermentation time for a lighter, grassier flavour that better suits (parent company) Diageo’s blending requirements.

Hetherington' in ink, some of the maps have place names marked in red ink on the covers, research shows these correspond to WW1 Royal Flying Corps Aerodromes,and sheet 10 has the initials 'T' or 'H.D.' next to the names, the initials stand for 'Training' and 'Home Defence', these maps also have the area of the aerodromes marked and shaded in red, to the side of the maps is stored a 'Contour' book of England by Gall and Inglis, this also has a Sifton, Praed & Co label inside, the case size is 40.5 cm x 11.5 cm x 20 cm, born in London on 19th June 1886 Thomas Gerard Hetherington was commissioned into the 18th Hussars on 29th January 1908, he obtained his Aviators Certificate at Brooklands in a Farman Biplane on 18th July 1911 and transferred to No.1 Company, Air Battalion, Royal Engineers, operating Airships, this later became No.1 Squadron Royal Flying Corps in May 1912, in July 1914 Hetherington was seconded to the Royal Naval Air Service as an Airship Instructor (shown on records as 'Employed under Admiralty') and after the outbreak of war was attached to No3 Wing RNAS at Dunkirk under Commander C.R. Samson who scratch built a unit of Armoured Cars to take on the Germans in Belgium, Hetherington was later given command of a section of purpose built armoured cars from the Admiralty, in December 1914 Hetherington moved to Wormwood Scrubs Naval Air Station as Transport Officer to the Armoured Car Division formed there and it was here, with others, that he began working on the ideas, some initially quite Heath Robinson, that resulted in the development of the Landship Committee and the first prototype tanks, in January 1916 he was given command of a detachment from No.20 Squadron, Royal Navy Armoured Car Division which provided the crew for 'Mother', the prototype of the Mark 1 Tank when it was demonstrated to senior officers at Hatfield Park, in January 1918 he was awarded the C.B.E.
