RAF Scampton. 1940-43. Autograph Album. 19cm wide x 13cm tall. Green cloth. Over 250 signatures. Worthy of research as this will contain scarce signatures. The British Newspaper Archive mentions all of the variety acts listed in this album (details published in the Lincolnshire Echo). A quick look: a. Full of RAF Gang Show inscriptions (probably the best WW2 collection of Gang Show signatures in one album). Includes: i. Squadron Leader William Henry Ralph Reader. Through the pre-war Gang Shows, Reader became friends with Air Commodore Archibald Boyle, the deputy director of RAF Intelligence. The German Ambassador, Joachim von Ribbentrop, attended the 1938 London Gang Show and invited Reader to visit the Hitler Youth Movement in Germany. Boyle persuaded Reader to become an Intelligence Officer in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve with the rank of Flight Lieutenant, although the diplomatic situation had deteriorated before he could take up von Ribbentrop's invitation. On the outbreak of war, Boyle sent Reader to France for undercover work, in the guise of running a concert party, for which some former Gang Show members were recruited into the RAF. The show was entitled Ralph Reader and Ten Blokes from the Gang Show and, besides allowing Reader to complete intelligence tasks, had a positive effect on morale. On returning to England, Reader was ordered to expand the Gang Shows, while his visits to RAF stations allowed Reader to monitor subversive propaganda which was a concern of the RAF high command. Reader eventually raised twenty-four RAF Gang Show units and two female WAAF units with a total establishment of nearly four hundred serving personnel. The RAF Gang Shows toured nearly every theatre of war, from Iceland to Burma. By 1944, Gang Show units were estimated to have travelled 100, 000 miles and entertained 3, 500, 000 servicemen. Some of those who served in the RAF Gang Shows would later become well known entertainers, such as Peter Sellers, Tony Hancock, Dick Emery and Cardew Robinson. For his services to the RAF, he was awarded an MBE (Military Division) in 1943. https://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Ralph_Reader for more detail. ii. Murray Browne, Assistant to Ralph Reader; later Musical Director; later Chairman of the Gang Show committee. Died 1992 aged 84. iii. Douglas (Cardew) Robinson. Joining the RAF in 1939, AC2 Douglas Robinson found himself stationed at Uxbridge, where he quickly found a place in the camp shows. It was in 1941 that Squadron Leader Ralph Reader, arrived at RAF Uxbridge to put on a performance. Robinson seized his chance, did a working audition, and soon found himself posted to RAF Gang Show Unit Number Five. His pre-war experience now came in handy, and he was promoted to Flight-Sergeant and put in charge of the unit. They played at RAF camps all over the country, and when the 'second front' was opened up in Normandy, Unit 5 followed, eventually touring through Belgium and Holland giving concert-party entertainments on the tail-flap of their lorry. A tour of the Far East followed, including a sudden detour when the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan. https://www. independent. co. uk/news/people/obituary-cardew-robinson-1565861. html for his detailed obituary. b.
