1928 BSA 770cc V-twin Motocycle Combination Registration no. YW 3142Frame no. V4315Engine no. 1080 (appears to be restamped)•Three owners from new•Always resident in the Southeast London/North Kent area•Present ownership since 1996•Banbury Run eligibleBSA first experimented with powered two-wheelers in 1905 using a standard-type bicycle. This first motorcycle made by BSA used a proprietary engine - probably the Belgian Minerva - clipped to the front down-tube, but it was not until 1910 that the firm introduced a model entirely of its own design and manufacture. Displayed at the 1910 Olympia Show, the first series-production motorcycle to feature the marque's distinctive green and cream tank colours was a 499cc (3½hp) sidevalve single, which was soon complemented by a 557cc long-stroke version. The firm's first v-twin - the 770cc (6/7hp) Model E - appeared late in 1919 and would prove the forerunner of a long line of rugged and dependable 'sidecar tugs'. A larger, 986cc version debuted as the Model F in 1922 and would continue in production as the Model G, regularly revised and updated, until 1940.This BSA's old-style continuation logbook, issued in 1946, lists one Robert Charles Bayman of London SE9 as first owner from 30th May 1928 and only one other owner: Michael John West of Sidcup, Kent. The machine had been licensed up to 1952. Mr West registered the BSA on 1st August 1969, a few months before Robert Bayman passed away; they lived 7 mins drive from one another.John Marchant purchased the BSA outfit from the aforementioned Mr West in October 1996 for £4,500 (sales receipt on file). Mr West lived less the 30 minutes from John's home in Wrotham, while Mr West's previous address at 70 Station Road, Sidcup was approximately 10 minutes from John's home. Remarkably, this machine has always been resident within an area of Southeast London/North Kent only 20 miles in radius. Mr West had ridden the BSA on the 1983 VMCC London Run, one of his fellow participants being John Marchant on his Triumph Model P. The accompanying history file contains old/current V5/V5C documents; expired MoTs dating back to 1979; tax discs dating back to the 1930s; a large quantity of photocopied material; a period image of the BSA taken in 1930s; and images of the machine 'as found' prior to restoration. Also in the file is a copy of Sunbeam Club News, the cover photograph of which shows the Marchants and the BSA on the 2001 'Garden of England Run'.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

II 1953 Coronation medal, a matching set of six miniature medals mounted on a cloth covered card panel and a boxed King's Badge.JOHN FLEMING. John Fleming was born in Scotland on 29th July 1915 and taken to New Zealand as a child. He graduated as a Bachelor of Commerce in 1935 from Victoria College, Wellington and got his Masters degree there two years later. In 1938 Fleming was nominated for one of the few direct-entry permanent commissions in the RAF, offered each year to graduates of British and Commonwealth universities. He was accepted and sailed for the UK on 6th May 1939.Fleming began his flying training at 5 E&RFTS Hanworth on 12th June, moving on 19th August to 2 FTS Brize Norton for No. 40 Course, which ran from 21st August 1939 to 17th February 1940. With the course completed, Fleming was posted to No. 1 Air Armament School Manby for a Specialist Armament Course, this ended on 6th July. Fleming then went to 6 OTU Sutton Bridge, for conversion to Hurricanes, after which he joined 605 Squadron at Drem on 5th August. The squadron moved south to Croydon on 7th September. The following morning they were ordered off and met a force of enemy bombers, escorted by Me109s, over Tunbridge Wells. In the ensuing combat Fleming was shot down in flames. He baled out, made a delayed drop of 20,000 feet and landed, badly burned and shocked. Fleming was taken to Wrotham Cottage Hospital, at that time housing twelve expectant mothers. He was transferred to the RAF Hospital Halton, where he was put aside as a hopeless case after refusing to have both his legs amputated at the hip. With burned eyeballs, lying blindfolded in a small room, having injections of morphine every four hours, he was, in his own words, 'left to rot'. He was found by Archibald Mclndoe. The surgeon suggested that as he was far too badly burned for plastic surgery, he might like to go to Queen Victoria Hospital at East Grinstead to try the saline bath treatment. Mclndoe pointed out that the treatment was still largely experimental but by then Fleming had nothing to lose. He transferred from Halton in October and within ten days of starting the bath treatment microscopic dots of skin began to grow, although initially they could only be seen with a magnifying glass. Fleming was at East Grinstead until August 1941, when he was discharged to RAF Kenley. In September he was posted to 23 OTU Pershore as Chief Armament Instructor and Station Armament Officer. Two years later Fleming was seconded to 12 Group RCAF, to take up the post of Inspector of Bombing and Gunnery at OTUs in Canada. He was awarded the MBE in 1944. In March 1945 he was recalled to the UK to join one of the specialist teams tracking down V1 and V2 sites in France and Belgium in the wake of the advancing Allied armies. He went to Manby in September for the first Advanced Empire Air Armament Course, after which he was sent to the RAF Staff College Bracknell for a course. In June 1946 Fleming returned to New Zealand on leave, his first visit in over seven years. He held a series of appointments in Britain and overseas prior to retiring at his own request on 5th February 1959. Fleming settled in England and became a trust administrator, he died in 1995.

Y AN INDIAN HARDWOOD AND IVORY INLAID CABINET GUJERAT OR SINDH, LATE 17TH/EARLY 18TH CENTURY The doors enclosing nine drawers, the inlay to five sides, on a walnut notch carved stand in the Cotswold School taste The cabinet 25cm high, 38cm wide, 29cm deep; the stand 75cm high, 38.5cm wide, 30.5cm deep Provenance:Purchased by George Byng Esq MP (1764-1847) and by descent until sold, Christie's, London, Two Late Regency Collectors: Philip John Miles and George Byng, 9th June 2005, lot 173 where purchased by Robert Kime. Literature: 5 St James's Square, 1847 Inventory: 'BACK DRAWING ROOM a small India Cabinet enclosed by 2 doors and drawers inside.' Cabinets of this general type, inlaid with flowers in ivory onto a hardwood ground were made in north western India, in the provinces of Gujarat or Sindh, from the late 16th century. A similar cabinet is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, but with a fall front. The use of doors in this example may denote a European commission, reflecting as it does the more usual use of doors on a cabinet (see: https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O115588/cabinet-unknown/ and A. Jaffer, Luxury Goods from India..., London, 2002, no. 25). The cabinet was bought by George Byng, whose collecting reflected high fashions of the 1820s -1840s, in company with great collectors such as George Watson Taylor, William Beckford and the king, George IV. Byng's manuscript 'List of Furniture, Porcelain, Paintings &C. purchased by George Byng for Wrotham Park, 1816-43', testifies to his avariciousness for superb objects, paintings and furniture. He lived at Wrotham Park, begun by his great-uncle, the unfortunate naval officer executed following the loss of Menorca in 1757, completed by his father George Byng (d. 1789) and extended by his son, the collector, George Byng MP (d. 1847).

Dreweatts have applied for a de minimis exemption licence for the ivory in this lot (Ref: KCT1C37J) Condition Report: Correction to the original catalogue description - there are seven interior drawers, not nine as stated in the catalogue description, as the top drawer is inlaid to simulate three drawers but is in fact one long drawer.Overall there are some scratches, marks, knocks, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.There are some losses, restorations and observations including:The ivory has a light applied staining.Overall there are wood and ivory veneers that are missing.There are some areas, including the lower border of the back that are painted instead of inlaid - this is probably a repaired section, and there are other small areas of repair including some filler.The gilt metal escutcheons and hinges have good engraved detail, as do the ivory flowers which are finely engraved to the front, sides and the interior, though not to the back.The base is missing a section of the border.A notch to the edge of one door and a later lock to the other door, there is no key.There is some evidence of worm.Some drawers are missing handles.There is some later black paint around the edge of the interior.The stand shows few signs of wear.Please see the additional condition report photographs as a visual reference of condition.

Battle of Britain. Spitfire propeller relic, heavily corroded, with label inscribed 'propeller blade from Spitfire which crashed at Wrotham' and with two labels attached inscribed 'this blade came to ... at Wrotham and pos came from Spit K9839 602 Sqn, P.O. E Aries unhurt and A.C. crashed at West Wrotham 7.9.40 ...' written by Ken Anscombe on a Rivoli Bingo Club Membership Card, the other label inscribed 'No history found on the building site Pilgrim Way, Wrotham', 113cm longQty: (1)Footnote: Provenance: Laidlaw's Auction, Ken Anscombe Aviation Museum, 7 December 2018 (lot 295) Although the labels attached attribute the propeller to Spitfire K9839 flown by Pilot Officer Ellis Walter Aries, it would appear from the vendors personal research with Andy Saunders (Battle of Britain, author and authority) that this is incorrect. It seems likely although unproven that this propeller was from Spitfire P9422 flown by Squadron Leader P.H. Pinkham, 19 Squadron. 37208 Squadron Leader Philip Campbell Pinkham (1915-1940), was born in Wembley and educated at Kilburn Grammar School, he joined the RAF in 1935 and by 1936 joined 17 Squadron at Kenley. He served as a flying instructor before taking command of 11 Group Pool at Andover on 22 January 1940 (Acting Squadron Leader). The Pool became 6 OTU in March 1940 and Pinkham commanded it until 3 June, when he was given command of 19 Squadron at Duxford. He was awarded the AFC (London Gazette - 11 July 1940). Pinkham was killed when his Spitfire was shot down by Me109s over the Thames Estuary on 5 September 1940, his Spitfire P9422 is believed to have crashed into Whitehorse Wood, Birling, Kent. Pinkham is buried in St Andrews' churchyard, Kinsbury, Middlesex. Ken Anscombe was renowned for his 'digging' excavations and according to research is known to have excavated at the Wrotham site, finding a 'ropey' Spitfire blade, the only other known Spitfire to have crashed in the area was a later Mk IX, which this blade does not seem to be from.
