THE CHARLES CUTHILL COLLECTION OF AVIATION BOOKS Squadron at RAF Methwold in Norfolk the same month, to undertake bombing operations from September 1944 onwards.

Charles Robert Cuthill (1923-2010) Charles (“Chas”) Cuthill was born in Colchester on 12th May 1923. He joined the Royal Air Force in 1938 as an aircraft apprentice at RAF Halton, Buckinghamshire, aged 15. From 1940 to 1941 he was stationed as an aircraft fitter at Gosport, Hampshire, where he witnessed dogfights overhead and attacks by the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain. From 1941 to 1942, ranked as a Corporal fitter, he was posted to RAF Millom in Cumbria and in July 1942 he was selected for basic RAF pilot training. Stationed at the Grand Hotel on St. Andrew’s Golf Course for a while before moving on to Perth in Scotland, he successfully went solo on Tiger Moths at 11 Elementary Flying Training School. His next stop was Heaton Park, Manchester, where he was disappointed to learn that he was to train as a flying boat pilot and not a fighter pilot. He sailed on RMS Queen Mary from Gournock in Scotland to New York the following month and was posted to Groose Ile, Michigan, training on naval aircraft factory N3Ns and later PBY Catalina flying boats at Pensacola in Florida, USA, where he was awarded his RAF wings. Promoted to Sergeant Pilot in the Spring on 1943 he was awarded his US Navy wings. He then flew Avro Ansons at RAF Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in Canada for further flying training, then RAF Monkton, New Brunswick, before returning to the UK, once again on RMS Queen Mary, in the Summer of 1943. From October 1943 to April 1944 Charles continued advanced flying training on Oxfords at RAF Little Rissington in Gloucestershire, where he was selected to fly in RAF Bomber Command. Promoted to Flight Sergeant he converted on to Wellington Bombers at RAF Chipping Warden, 12 Operational Training Unit, where he chose his air crew for joint training prior to future active bombing operations. In July, Charles and his air crew found themselves on 1657 Heavy Conversion Unit flying Stirling bombers at RAF Stradishall. Then 3 Lancaster Finishing School at RAF Feltwell in August for final familiarisation on Lancaster bombers before joining 149

On 12 December 1944, aged 21 years and 7 months, Charles took part in a daylight bombing raid on Ruhrstahl Steelworks, Witten, in the industrial heartland of Germany. The raid was the 26th of 29 Bombing Raids. 140 Allied bombers each with a full bomb load, with a comparable Allied fighter escort of Spitfires and Mustangs from 11 Group took part and found themselves up against at least 150 Me109s and 7 Fw190s. The latter Luftwaffe Squadron was led by a formidable German Ace known as Heinz Bär with already over 200 Allied aircraft to his name. For reasons unknown the leading Lancaster Bomber decided to turn early over German territory towards the target and in the confusion that followed the Vic formation of Lancaster bombers immediately behind Charles continued on their designated course, splitting the main stream into two waves. At least twenty-nine of the leading Lancaster Bombers became detached from the baulk of the main formation behind. Surviving RAF Lancaster combat reports from the raid confirm the mayhem that ensued, many crews including Charles being forced to jettison their bomb loads approximately six miles north of the target. Charles reported six attacks by enemy fighters upon his aircraft, both he and his flight engineer were wounded in the attacks – his flight engineer being rendered unconscious. The attacks had peppered their fuselage, damaged the wireless transmission set, holed the front windscreen and smashed several instruments on the cockpit control panel. The aircraft also suffered hydraulic and intercom failure, the gun turrets stopped moving and the guns jammed on the front and mid uppers which had also iced up due to the high altitude. Their starboard outer engine had taken direct hits and was on fire. To save the lives of himself and his air crew, Charles violently corkscrewed his aircraft, diving rapidly to escape further attacks. Charles finally managed to make an emergency landing at Manston Airfield on the Kent coast despite the partial failure of the aircraft undercarriage. Over one third of the twenty-nine Lancaster bombers from the first wave were shot down or succumbed to combat damage. Fifty-two Allied airmen lost their lives. Cuthill’s citation dated 22nd May 1945, for the Distinguished Flying Cross reads – “The DFC has been awarded to Acting Flight Lieutenant Charles R. Cuthill, who with his right arm useless flew his damaged bomber back to this country on three engines and made a safe landing. Both Flight Lieutenant

37

Cuthill and his Flight Engineer were wounded when their aircraft was attacked by enemy fighters during a sortie against Witten. Flight Lieutenant Cuthill directed his navigator and Air Bomber to assist the Flight Engineer but did not mention his own injuries until he was compelled to call for air...”. The final months of the war Charles instructed on Wellington bombers at RAF Gamston in Nottinghamshire. Once the war had ended he flew Oxfords, Wellington bombers and Harvards at RAF Finningley, Abingdon and Silverstone, before instructing for several years at RAF Swinderby on Wellington bombers again. During his time at RAF Swinderby he made a forced belly landing at the airfield in a Wellington bomber in 1948 due to a complete undercarriage failure and shortly afterwards was awarded an Air Force Cross in 1949. Various other postings continued within the UK, including one year with 47 Squadron in Transport Command at RAF Topcliffe in North Yorkshire during 1950, flying Hastings aircraft to Egypt, Iraq, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Singapore. Nearly three years were spent instructing back at RAF Feltwell, now a Flying Training School and then served in Iraq for 2 years under GCHQ command after training at Whitehall from 1954 to 1956. Charles’s last few years with the RAF were spent flying Avro Ansons and Chipmunks at RAF Henlow in Bedfordshire from 1957 to 1959 and in 1960 on Hastings aircraft at RAF Dishforth in North Yorkshire. When he retired in April 1961, with the rank of Flight Lieutenant, Charles continued a civilian flying instructing career at the Wiltshire School of Flying, Thruxton Airfield in Hampshire, teaching private students to fly on the Tiger Moth, Gypsy Moth and Jackaroo. Finally joining Middle Wallop School of Army Aviation, as a civilian, employed to teach many future Army Air Corps pilots basic fixed wing flight on Chipmunks from 1961 until 1979. During his career Charles amassed over 10,000 flying hours, including over 6000 hours on the Chipmunk aircraft alone. Other aircraft types he personally flew were the Vultee Valient, Stearman, Spitfire, Proctor, Prentice, Master and the Meteor jet aircraft as well as various glider types, to name but a few. Charles was a lifelong collector of aviation books and in his retirement spent many enjoyable hours in his attic library reading, writing and even painting. He was always willing to talk about his life experiences and the joy of flight amongst the “cloud-lakes covered in golden ripples stretching towards the sun…”.

Being rebuffed initially by the British War Department, Lewis approached the Belgian Government who took to the gun enthusiastically and production began, where it soon became known as “The Belgian Rattlesnake”. Following the outbreak of World War I in 1914, this lightweight machine gun was finally recognised by the British War Department and, under licence, production started at B.S.A. Very soon it was obvious that this weapon could be adapted for aeronautical use. Huge numbers were produced and the success of the Lewis ensured that it continued in use as an aircraft and ground defence weapon well into World War II. Few survive today, this fine example is a classic in its own right. (1) £8000-10000

This particular gun is somewhat of an enigma, the serial number 1001S suggests that it might be a prototype or development firearm as it differs in minor detail to the original design. (1) £3000-4000

The ‘Home Defence Gun’ is without doubt one of the rarest modifications of all to the Mk III Lewis aircraft gun. Due to dwindling stocks of spares and new guns of this type during WWII, some incomplete, the Lewis gun was pressed into service with the Home Guard and as a trawler defence weapon. Furthermore, a number were supplied to the Long Range Desert Force which, along side the latest Vickers ‘K’ gun, the Lewis, fitted to Jeeps and/or light trucks was highly effective, few of this variation survive.

During the closing days of 1940 McMurtrie took part in a special bombing raid on the well-known sports centre of Finse in Norway where a large number of German officers and Norwegian traitors were enjoying a skiing holiday. The objectives were to destroy the ski resorts railway link with Havgastol and to cause as many casualties amongst the Germans and Norwegian traitors as possible. As part of their briefing, the crews were shown a pre-war travel film which showed the nature and appearance of the target. Three attacks were made on 18th, 20th and 22nd December 1940. McMurtrie successfully located and attacked Finse, flying up and down the target with his navigation lights on in order to show the way to the rest of the Squadron. McMurtrie led the two following raids in which Bristol Beauforts saw direct hits on the snowsheds and the railway line. It was later discovered that two mechanical snow ploughs had been destroyed in the railway station and that the line was blocked for many weeks.

CONCORDE MEMORABILIA FROM THE DUXFORD AVIATION SOCIETY

The Duxford Aviation Society owns and maintains a collection of 12 airliners on site at IWM Duxford including Concorde. For many years the IWM paid the Society a proportion of the visitor entrance fees that was sufficient to support the satisfactory maintenance costs of these aircraft. However, over the past few years, the museum have progressively reduced this income to the point where it now only covers the cost of opening Concorde every day plus a limited amount of maintenance. As a result the Society are having to address the issue of how to become more financially independent and raise money both on site and from potential supporters outside. This also means that we have had to consider which items owned by the Society are surplus to our requirements and should be offered for auction. An essential part of this process is to raise the profile of the collection and to set it in the context of the development of British Civil Aviation since WW2. Duxford Aviation Society, 2012

Hobson, John W. Peters, Joseph Peters, Ino. W. Peters, W.W. Peters, F. Wickstead, J. Gilfoy, various dates between 1832 and 1863, some drawings with printed label of John Peters, one drawing with ‘By Appointment’ labels to Her Majesty and the Prince of Wales, occn. dust-soiling and marks, but generally in good condition, most approx. 22 x 34cm (8.5 x 13ins), a few larger and several sl. smaller, all on card and mounted on thick paper album leaves (some leaves loose or working loose), mostly two to a page on rectos only, marbled endpapers, lacking free endpapers, early photo. reproduction of a pen & ink drawing of Samuel Hobson mounted on front pastedown, contemp. calf, gilt tooled

In particular he reduced the height of the wheels, lengthened the coach body and hung it lower, substituting a double step to the door instead of a three-step ladder. Hobson worked in the firm of Barker and Co. of Chandos Street, eventually becoming a partner. In about 1815 he started his own business in Long Acre, central London; several of the drawings herein give addresses 99 Long Acre and 121 Long Acre. Many of his methods were copied by principal members of the trade. The coachbuilding firm of John W. Peters (George Street, Portman Square) was also an important business; his mail phaetons were noted as long ago as 1836 for their steadiness on rough roads. The date-span of the album includes the Coronation year of 1838, a year which marks

675* H.M. ‘K’ Class Submarine. A possibly unique builder’s concept design model by Vickers, c. 1915, the ebonised carved and laminated hull, with keel, conning tower and torpedo tube outlines, arranged in two halves, brass-pinned at the bow, stern, conning tower and fore and aft decking, one brass pin securing the hull below the water line, the upper superstructure unusually applied with vertical rows of pins, possibly for plating purposes, the two half models when pinned together mounted on a modern wood platform stand with turned brass pillar and keel cradle supports, the submarine with restored bow section, approx. 101in (256.5cm) long Examination of early photographs and drawings indicates that this model was possibly built as a ‘concept’, probably in the Vickers workshops, c. 1915, when the ‘K’ Class was first promoted. The model has a flush deck, as did the first of the breed. The ‘K’ Class showed an inherrent tendancy to dive without warning and were therefore modified at the bows in ‘clipper’ fashion and were fitted with extra buoyancy tanks. Armament was moved from deck to superstructure and torpedo tubes re-arranged. Despite these modifications history relates an unhappy career for these submarines. State-of-the-art at the time they were conceived and built, the technology available at the time failed to match requirements. The ‘K’ Class suffered many disasters. An exercise with the Fleet on the night of 31st January 1918 off May Island, ‘K4’ and ‘K7’ were sunk after collisions, ‘K14’ and ‘K22’ were badly damaged and four other submarines were damaged, the incident became known as “The Battle of May Island”. The Class was taken out of service shortly after the end of the 1st World War. The maximum service use was nine years. This builder’s model is therefore a rare and poignant survivor and reminder of a brave concept, unfulfilled. (1) £2800-3500

Submarine “K3” High Speed Fleet Submarine ‘K’ Class for the British Admiralty Constructed By Messrs Vickers Barrow in Furness, Launched May 1916” The ‘K’ Class submarines were designed and built on the orders of the Admiralty as rumour was rife that the Kaisermarine had developed a high surface speed U-boat. Ultimately, driven by geared turbines of 10,500 h.p., the ‘K’ class, with a crew of five officers and fifty-three ratings, this submarine had at the time (1916) a surface speed of 25 knots and was the world’s fastest. Known as the “Kalamity Kays” the eighteen ‘K’ class built had unhappy lives. Accidents, technical malfunctions and incompetence led to the class becoming rapidly extinct. “K3”‘s most momentus moment was when, with HRH The Price of Wales abroad, she suddenly and uncontrollably dived, becoming stuck on the sea bed. After much anguish and 20 minutes she was freed and returned to the surface. The Prince was unharmed, but no doubt shaken by the experience.

In 1915 Lord Fisher suggested and proposed to the Admiralty the construction of a submarine capable of mounting a 12 inch gun. The idea was that the submarine could remain concealed beneath the sea surface, the gun once elevated could then be fired at a target. Four submarines of this type were ordered using the keels of four unfinished “K” class submarines. “M1” was completed in April 1918, three “M” class were completed, two by Vickers and one by Armstrong Whitworth, “M4” incomplete at the time of the Armistice was sold for scrap. “M1” was sunk in 1925 after being in collision with a collier at night approximately 35 miles south of Plymouth, she was lost with all hands. In 1990 the wreckage was discovered, but the location was not precise. In 1999 a diving team, after much research, relocated “M1”, so her final resting place is now known. (1) £3000-5000

In the Middle East he has destroyed 4 hostile aircraft. Throughout his operational career Flight Lieutenant Macqueen has rendered most valuable service. He has displayed great skill and leadership.’ Flight Lieutenant Norman Carter Macqueen DFC, RAFVR (1920-42), born in Leamore, West Midlands, educated at Fettes College, Edinburgh (1933-38), joined the Royal Air Force as Aircraftsman 2nd Class (Rhyl 1939), various promotions, Commissioned Pilot Officer 12.11.1940, served with 610, 602 and 249 (Gold Coast) Squadron, stationed at Ta Kali, Malta as part of Operation Spotter, in his very short career Macqueen was credited as one of the Malta Fighter aces with 7 confirmed enemy aircrafts downed and scores of assisted and damaged. Macqueen was killed in action on 4th May 1942 when his Spitfire nosedived, an account in the Malta War Diary records ‘RAF fighter pilots at Ta Qali had to watch helplessly as one of their comrades was jumped by a German fighter this afternoon. Flight Lieutenant Norman Macqueen was one of eight Spitfire pilots scrambled to intercept a heavily protected formation of Italian bombers attacking Grand Harbour. He was heading back towards Ta Qali from where his comrades watched as he was jumped by a Messerschmitt fighter “Norman was flying with another Spitfire and about to attack some 109s, when we saw a 109 sweep across the sky behind him. Vainly we shouted, ‘Turn! Spit!’ as if there was some hope that he might hear us. But evidently neither of them saw the 109 and just kept straight on. We saw the 109’s tracer going right into Norman’s machine. His spitfire lurched and gave up a thin smoke trail. For some time it seemed to be under control and circled downwards as if he hoped to land. Then suddenly the nose went forward, and the machine dived like a stone into the ground, bursting into flames as it hit”, Macqueen is buried in Kalkara Cemetery, Malta.

1211* Flying Officer C. McLaren-Reid, Royal Air Force, Boei Glodak P.O.W. Camp, Java 1942-45, A rectangular teak table top inscribed with the names of all the R.A.F. Officers and Warrant Officers at the time of imprisonment in Boei Glodok, 1942-45, the top left with characters for the Japanese equivalent of McLarenReid’s initials, with central design of the solitary confinement cells, within chain border and bottom link inlaid with signed silver plaque of Mountbatten of Burma, 50cm x 85cm, together with an number of original documents relating to the table top, including, Letter from Buckingham Palace dated September 1945, welcoming Reid home, a letter confirming release of the table from Customs 1946, Caxton Exercise Book with names and addresses of the names on the table top, an archive of letters from fellow prisoners and their families, photographs Japanese Prisoners in Batavia formerly connected with Allied Prisoners-of-War, portrait photograph of Reid in uniform and one Reid and the table top, newspaper cuttings detailing the story of the table top, documents discussing the table top being exhibited at The Scottish United Services Museum in 1949 R.A.F. section at the Edinburgh Castle, exhibited with other P.O.W. work from the Napoleonic Wars. The Clarion magazine published 1949, detailing the story of the table top, also included in the lot is a heavy silver cigarette case engraved with heraldic crest and motto ‘Nihil Amanti Durum’ (nothing is hard for one who loves), the reverse engraved with a record of service from January 1916 - February 1953, approx. 5.5 oz, Birmingham 1943, and three personal photograph albums, mainly post WW2 The Tale of a Table, Java 1942, The R.A.F. orderly room in Boei Glodak, the civil gaol in Batavia for long-term prisoners, in half of which some 1200 R.A.F. personnel were crowded, was a cell-like room in the administration block some twelve feet by six. The furniture consisted of one small table, a chair and a couple of empty boxes, and the table did duty for the C.O., myself and the clerk, as necessity demanded. After cajoling, threatening and imploring the officer in charge of the workshops for a month or more an extra table was made for myself. The table was made from old sleeping boards used by the civil prisoners in peace time, but found to be hopelessly bug-ridden as to be unusable by our men. The top was a single piece of teak, approximately thirty-four inches by twenty inches. As Adjuntant and interpreter, my time was more than fully occupied for the first three months, but after that things got easier, and I occasionally found myself with nothing to do, there being very few available. The then

Japanese Commandant, a regular officer, had encouraged arts and crafts, and a successful exhibition had been held, many of the exhibits being made by expert hands. One day it crossed my mind to do something of the sort myself, and the idea of carving the names of the Officers and Warrant Officers on my table occurred to me. I found that I had more space than was needed, so included a view of the solitary confinement cells. I finished up by placing a symbolic chain round the outside, the links being copied from the chains used on the civilian prisoners. I managed to borrow an extremely blunt and jagged-edged gouge for a short while to remove the wood to give depth to the picture, but, apart from that, had only one blade of a “Dewars” advertisement penknife, a bone handled nail file and a sharpened nail or two to work with. It took nearly four months to complete and looked a pretty amateurish job when I had finished, but it kept me occupied and I was quite pleased with, not to say proud of it. In October, the night before our first draft left, I got everyone available to autograph the back of it, but one man would never be there to sign. He had been captured one night early in April with two Sergeants pilots while making a gallant and very nearly successful attempt to steal an aircraft from the local aerodrome, after they had escaped from the gaol and made their way through the town. We never saw them again. I put a coating of brown boot polish on the carving, made a three ply cover for it, and was looking for a place to hide it when, quite unexpectedly, in January 1943 the R.A.F. were moved to a camp at Tandjong Priok, the port for Batavia. Before leaving I handed it over to a Dutch friend, Lieut. G. Vischer, R.N.N.R. to hide for me. We stayed at Tanjong Priok only three months, and were moved to “Cycle Camp”, Batavia, an old Dutch army barracks. Here I met Lieut. Vischer again. His crowd had been moved suddenly from Boei Glodak the day after we left, so he had handed the table over to an Ambonese officer, who had been unable to hide it before he himself left and the gaol was closed. The gaol was re-opened for some months as a rope-spinning factory, and several hundred British personnel went there from “Cycle Camp”. The Adjutant found the table and looked after it, but, when the time came to leave, was too busy to hide it, so once again it was left lying about. Although they closed the gaol again the Japanese decided to keep on the vegetable gardens around the gaol, and for quite a while a party went there daily from “Camp Cycle”.The Dutch officer in charge of the party told me that he had been inside the gaol, and had seen the table stowed away in a furniture store. And that was the last I heard of it up to the time I left Java at the end of September, 1945. London 1946 One day in June my friend Dudley Grundy telephoned to my flat and said he had great news for me. He had just heard from “Wiggie”, Squadron Leader C.C. Wigram, that the table had been found. Wiggie had just arrived from India, where he had been recuperating after our release, and on the way home in H.M.T. “Cape Town Castle”

212

had met a Wing Commander of the R.A.F. Regiment. It transpired that the latter had been in Java, particularly Batavia, and, while describing what had been going on there after the arrival of the British, mentioned that one of his raiding parties had found a bit of wood with a lot of names mentioned on it, and had taken charge of it. Wiggie recognised the description as that of my table top, and told the Wing Commander that he knew the owner and would pass on the information. As a result I got in touch with the Wing Commander, who told me that the carving was in safe hands, but he could not say where. At his suggestion I went to the Historical Records Section of the Air Ministry it was not there, but a lot of stuff was expected from Singapore, and I was assured that if it arrived I would be informed at once. I then wrote to the Officer in charge of the Historical Records Section in Singapore asking him to keep it, if he had it, as I was sailing for Malaya very shortly. I received no answer to this letter. When I reached Malaya I started my search again. After a number of letters had been written and answered I traced the table top to the R.A.F. Provost and Security Services in Singapore, in whose custody it was pending onward transmission to the War Museum. I then wrote to the Air Officer Commanding-inChief S.E.A. asking for the necessary authority for its release, and, on 8th December, 1946, saw it again after nearly four years. It was a bit knocked about. Several of the letters were chipped and vandals had seen fit to knock a few rusty nails into it, but the boot polish finish was still there. The autographs on the back had nearly all faded away, and did so completely when I oiled the wood. I finished off the carving by inserting the date of our release, and by splitting the bottom centre link of the chain, which, with justifiable optimism, I had made larger than the others, in preparation for the day when our bonds would be broken. (I did not explain this to the Japanese who saw the table!)Now there was one thing left to do. There was space inside the broken link for an autograph, and there was one person only whose name I wanted there. I intended sending the carving itself to England, but it was bulky, and would be inconvenient; in addition to which it would take months to get there and back. Instead of this I took the spoon and fork which I had used throughout my prisoner-ofwar time, which constituted the last of the “Family silver”, the remainder having been looted from my house in Malaya, to a local silver-smith, who made a flat plate out of them. This I posted home by air mail, and, in a few weeks, it was returned, autographed, together with a short but gracious letter. A coat of varnish to keep the silver from oxidising and into its place it went. Of those whose names are on the carving the majority are alive. I send them this card as a memento of hard times shared, and with my best wishes for the future. To the relatives of those who are gone, I offer it as my humble tribute to the memory of the dead.

Conditions of Sale and Business 7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded.

1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account.

8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer.

3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.

4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared.

11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions.

5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.

12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses.

6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
