- June 2009 is the fiftieth anniversary of the launch of the SRN 1, built by Saunders Roe on the Isle of Wight, & the start of the World wide development of the first true amphibious vehicle. To celebrate this anniversary, the Hovercraft Society, in conjunction with a number of agencies, is celebrating 2009 as the "Year of the Hovercraft". So far, consideration is being given to a number of local, national and international events. Those already in the programme include a presentation by Ray Wheeler (a member of the British Hovercraft Corporation design team and later Technical Director) on 11 June 2009 to a joint meeting of the Isle of Wight Royal Aeronautic Society and the Hovercraft Society. Negotiations are currently underway with the Science Museum for a visit to the SRN 1 at Wroughton a presentation in June 2009. The Hovercraft Museum is organising a flypast of historic and current hovercraft to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the first hovercraft crossing of the Channel, by the SRN 1, on 25 July 2009. John Chaplin, who was on the original Channel crossing, has indicated that, as long as his health allows, he will come over from the States to join in the celebrations. The Royal Institute of Naval Architects will be holding an Air Cushion Vehicle Conference on 2nd-3rd November 2009, in London. In addition, a number of talks to local organisations are being organised, including an N5/N6 Seminar and BH 7 model and full scale presentation, at the Hovercraft Museum. If any local organisation would like Brian Russell, who has been involved with hovercraft for over forty years, to give an illustrated talk entitled "Fifty Years of Hovercraft Development" in 2009, they should contact Brian on 02392 584371, or at 24 Jellicoe Avenue, Gosport, or via e-mail Brianatjellicoe@aol.com.

- I found your web site after a search for information about Camper and Nicholson. I wonder if you know any more about my great great Uncle William Camper
of Camper and Nicholson fame, He died I believe in 1867 shortly after retirement from Camper and Nicholson, but this is all I know about him from my family tree. There is no mention of his being married on the family tree. I am interested to know if you have any more information about him. My interest is simply that I enjoy sailing and found the link to him from my family tree compiled by a second cousin. A.P.Camper

- Kath Voller (nee Murtagh) asks is there any relative in Gosport or surrounding areas of a family whose surname is ‘Russell’. There is a Christine, Alexander, Norman, David or John.
The parents were Eric and Iris Russell .
They lived in Beryton Road, then Portal Road. Then emigrated to Australia. They went on the Canberra. We had the address but due to moving ourselves, we have lost their address in Australia. Chrissy was a very close friend of my sister Eileen. I do remember there was an Uncle Norman and Auntie Rose and an aunt in the old Lee Road, 30/3/08

- A new booklet entitled 'Trevor J. Tatham, Architect, of Lee-on-the-Solent'
by local historian Philip Eley, is now on sale. Trevor Tatham was an architect who lived and worked in Lee between the wars. During that time he designed more houses and bungalows than any other architect - and around a hundred of his homes are still standing today. He was also responsible for shops and offices. Trevor also represented Lee as a councillor both before and after it became part of the Borough in 1930. He also was a teacher at the Edinburgh House School in Lee. The booklet is split into three sections - two are concerned with Trevor's life and work whilst the third is a gazetteer of his known works in Lee. It is illustrated with architectural drawings from the original building plans. This will appeal to anyone with an interest in Lee-on-the-Solent, but especially anyone living in one of Trevor's houses. Priced just £1.00 it is available from the County Library branch in Lee High Street, and also at Elson Library and the Local Studies Centre (the old Gosport Museum) in Gosport High Street. (23/3/08)

- Also please put this photo on your site asking anyone if they know what happened to it. Vic Hutfield built it in 1909 and it hung in the roof of Stapleton's
(Reekies) for many years, indeed it was there in the mid 1950's. I have a letter stating that Vic was still in possession in 1964. Any help would be most welcome. Brenda
