Introduction.

Introduction.

The original intention of this blog was to establish access to data compiled over the years relative to my line of the family of Pettard, i.e. The Pettards of Bermondsey.

With the wealth of information ever increasing it became clear that any demand for copies could not be met.  Having first considered establishing a Web Site I finally choose to blog the information, finding this media easy to work with.

So at last all the information is out there for the world to read, and the last time I checked it had been reviewed by people in some 30 different countries scattered from Europe, Asia, North America, Australia, and Africa.

The blog is arranged in a series of 10 chaptures that conveniently break-down time and content, more significant are the 46 pages each detailing in aspects of the families’ history, descendents and places of interest relative to the families of Bermondsey.

With reference to the index page and its table of contents, chapture 1 page 1 is our starting points, the blog is not in strict story form, so that you can select any page to review its content without too much concern of what went before.  However, I do advise all visitors to read chapture 1 and its pages 1 to 13 published April 2010, these pages are the foundation for all that follows.

The month of publication for each page is the key to selection, on the right hand side of the blog you will see a list of months and in brackets the number of pages published that month.  Click on the month, say April, and a list of page numbers and their titles will appear, then click on any page, say Page 1 ‘The Pettards of Bermondsey – Early Days’, from here you can start reading the history or our family.

Whilst the blog is now completed it could be considered the first issue, with no doubt many errors for me and others to find and correct, also the search for early descendents and their history will continue, adding such information to the blog when available.

This history of the Pettards of Bermondsey and their descendents has been in the main the work of just a few people, to further advance our knowledge of the family both past and present I need your input.  So, if you are reading this and would like to contribute your knowledge and history, I would love to hear your story.  Please use the comment facility on the blog or contact me direct at melvynpettardusa@aol.com.

Years before genealogy was a common pursuit as today, family members had begun work towards finding early members of our family in the Bermondsey area of London. At this time before the advent of personal computers, the quest entailed much determination along with a good deal of leg work and hours of searching through Church and Civil records. Such records were not always easy to find and often difficult to read and decipher, by comparison we can to day, to a large extent, sieve the internet in search of useful data bases and tools. Genealogy sites have sprung up all over the internet; many have organized data into logical order making searches by name, place or time relatively easy.

It’s with this in mind that we acknowledge the early work of Reginald Pettard which was a considerable contribution in its own right. Much of the hard facts and dates within these pages stem from the hard work and dedication of my uncle, it would also be appropriate at this stage to acknowledge Reggie’s wife, my aunt Betty for passing down to me all of her husbands findings.

In his pursuit and search for our early family Reggie was not always alone, for he was often helped and accompanied by Stanly Tomin husband of Margaret Pettard. Also during his genealogy searches he was aided by a William Ford who was also tracking down the line of Pettards in Bermondsey. William Ford was the son of Louise Maud Pettard and in researching his family he had unearthed much data related to the family of Joseph Henry Pettard and Annie Holland. I had the good future to be in contact with William Ford, and found him to be of immense help when I first took up this challenge after the death of my uncle Reggie Pettard.

Finally thanks to my wife Barbara for being a great help with spellings and the odd proof read through, along with her encouragement, and help from her family book Gunter Genealogy by Trevia Ramzy Smith, from which I got some good ideas on presentation and content. Thanks also to Barbara Goodyear for proof readings and corrections.

Just one last thanks must go to my aunt Margaret for supplying material and so much in the way of her family memoirs that you, the reader, will find scatted throughout these pages on the History of the Pettards of Bermondsey.

And finally to all those family members I have pestered for information, thank you.

Page 45 - WWII Aircraft Built at Brooklands.

WWII Aircraft Built at Brooklands, Weybridge.

The following WW2 aircraft were built at Brooklands Weybridge, most were also produced at other sites such was the demand, and the need to keep production scattered.

                            

                  

                             Hawker Hurricane, seen here at Brooklands.

 Britain’s most successful fighter aircraft of this era was the Hawker Hurricane designed by Sydney Camm at nearby Kingston. It was assembled and first flown in prototype form at Brooklands in November 1935.  Altogether, 3,012 Hurricanes were produced at Brooklands – one fifth of the total built.  When the Battle of Britain was fought in the summer of 1940 it was due to the tremendous production and test flying effort at Brooklands and other factories and to the skills of the RAF pilots that the Hurricane became the chief victor of this decisive engagement.  At the time, Hurricanes equipped no less than two-thirds of RAF single fighter squadrons. A Brooklands-built Hurricane was recovered from Russia in 1997 and is now on display in the Brooklands Aircraft Hangar.  The above information was gained from the Brookland Museum site.

                                            Hawker Hurricane MK 6.

The Vickers Wellington was a twin-engine, long range medium bomber designed in the mid-1930s at Brooklands in Weybridge, Surrey, by Vickers-Armstrongs' Chief Designer, R. K. Pierson. It was widely used as a night bomber in the early years of the Second World War, before being displaced as a bomber by the larger four-engine "heavies" such as the Avro Lancaster. The Wellington continued to serve throughout the war in other duties, particularly as an anti-submarine aircraft. It was the only British bomber to be produced for the entire duration of the war.

A Staggering 11,464 Wellington bomber was built between 1936 – 1945 for the Royal Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, Fleet Air Arm and the Polish Air Force.

The Wellington used a geodesic airframe construction first developed for the early Airships and later used on the Vickers Warwick. The fuselage was constructed from Aluminium Alloy with W-shaped beams formed into a larger framework. Wood battens were screwed to the alloy frame then covered with Irish Linen; the linen was then treated to many layers of dope to form the outer skin of the aircraft.

The resultant aircraft was very durable capable of taking lots of damage, also its good weight power ratio gave it relatively high pay-loads for a two engine bomber.

The Vickers Warwick was a multi-purpose aircraft used during the Second World War. Built by Vickers Armstrong Brooklands, Surrey, the Warwick was used by the Royal Force (RAF) as a transport, air-sea rescue and maritime reconnaissance platform, and by the civilian British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC). The Warwick first flight was on the 13^th August 1930, being a larger version of the Vickers Wellington with some 842 built for the RAF, Polish Air Fore in exile and BOAC.

                                         The Vickers Warwick.

The Vickers Windsor was a four engine prototype aircraft produced 1943-1944 of which only three were built.  The fact that only tree prototypes were built was due to refinements in the existing Lancaster bomber, rendering it suitable for the role for which the Windsor had been designed. The first prototype flew in 23 October 1943, second on 15 February 1944, third on 11 July 1944 and all three were built at Vickers secret dispersed Foxwarren Experimental Department between Brooklands and nearby Cobham. The two latter prototypes were tested till the end of the Second World War, when further development and production were cancelled.

                                     The Vickers Windsor.  



The Vickers Wellesley was a 1930s light bomber built by Vickers-Armstrongs at Brooklands near Weybridge, Surrey, for the Royal Air Force. While it was obsolete by the start of the Second World War, and unsuited to the European air war, the Wellesley was successfully used in the desert theatres of East Africa, Egypt and the Middle East.

Page 44 - Air Raid on Brooklands

The follow are police reports on two air raids on Vickers Armstrong, Weybridge Works, Surrey. These attacks took place whilst my father William Pettard was working at the site.

Attack on Vickers Armstrong aircraft factory 1940

1940, 4 September: Worst attack was on Vickers Works, Weybridge was bombed and eighty three killed and over four hundred injured. One aircraft on the raid was shot down near Shere and the airman who bailed out was captured by a Special Constable at Ripley.

 Contemporary report Weybridge: The attack on Vickers Armstrong Works was carried out by an unspecified number of aircraft but from reports received it appears that five or six direct hits on buildings were made and other heavy calibre bombs dropped outside hangars causing some damage but it is considered that casualties would have been greater but for the fact that the attack was made during the lunch hour. It appears that bombs dropped before the red warning was received. The full extent of the effect on production is not yet ascertained, but it is gathered that considerable delay will occur.

On the morning of 21st September 1940 at about 08.30 hours the Vickers Aircraft Factory at Weybridge was attacked by an enemy aircraft. Three bombs were dropped, two of which exploded, doing slight damage. The other, a five hundred pound bomb, penetrated the factory roof, passed through a wall at the end and came to rest on the concrete driveway outside the erecting shed, having failed to explode.  As the explosion of the bomb at the position where it rested would have caused considerable damage, its immediate removal was a matter of national importance. Lieutenant J. M. S. Patton, Royal Canadian Engineers, undertook to remove the bomb to a place of comparative safety and Section Leader Tilyar-Burrows together with Volunteers W. J. Avery, E. A. Maslyn and C. E. Chaplin, with complete disregard of personal safety and having no previous experience of handling unexploded bombs, immediately volunteered to assist. The bomb was lashed to a sheet of corrugated iron, attached to a truck by wire cable and towed to a crater about two hundred yards away where it could do no harm. The task was accomplished in little more than half-an-hour from the time the bomb had fallen. The bomb exploded the following morning.

Throughout the operation these men displayed cool courage of the highest order and contributed largely to the removal of a serious threat to the production of this factory.

Note: Lieutenant J. M. S. Patton was awarded the George Cross and Captain D. W. C. Cunnington, also of the Royal Canadian Engineers, the George Medal for their gallantry on this occasion.

PC Arthur Bruce in 1980: One of the aircraft from this raid was hit and crashed on Netley Heath area close to a Canadian camp. Bert Bradley and I received an instruction to collect the remains of the crew and this we did in several brand new sandbags. We took these to the Woking mortuary then, having left our grisly load we resumed patrol.

Vickers Armstrong – British Aircraft Corporation – British Aerospace.

Brooklands Weybridge, Surrey.

I joined Vickers Armstrong of Weybridge, Surrey at the age of 17 in 1958, I was taken on has a trainee draughtsman, thanks manly to the influence of my father who worked for the company for many years.  I learnt the hard way, having started in the Full Scale Drawing office, and then known as the Loft, not knowing much about anything, I commenced upon eight years of part time schooling at Brooklands Technical College then Kingston Tec. Having achieved my aims in education department, I progressed from the drawing board to the Aerodynamics department, then back to drawing, but this time computer aided.  Looking back now over the whole of my working carrier, the time spent helping to derive, test and put into action Computer Aid to Design for aircraft envelope shapes  and structures, was by far the must rewarding period of my working life, and I still feel today, that a part of me is embedding in the Concorde.

Looking pack on the aircraft I worked on, that’s the one’s that actually flew; and I worked on a lot of projects that did not fly, it reads like a walk through of the heyday of British aircraft achievement, however, it also announce the death tell of the industry.

                             

                                                      Vickers Valiant

The Vickers Armstrong Valiant was British first four engine jet bomber, and once part of the RAF’s V Bomber nuclear force of the 1950s and 1960s. Originally developed for high level strategic bombing, its role change to low level attacks, for which it was not best suited.

When I first started at Weybridge, Vickers Armstrong was still engaged in Viscounts,

Vangards and the Valiant.  I had spent many an hour of my childhood setting upon the top of Brooklands racing track watching this aircraft take-off.  I guess the VC10 would be the first aircraft I can remember being actively involved with, spending many months helping to layout the engine nacelles full scale on metal plates.  Also about the same time the TSR2 was in developments, and whilst I was not in the projects department, I do remember working on the reconnaissance pack.  The BAC 1-11 would lead me to the Aerodynamics department, after disastrous flight testing the aircraft was in need of a new wing leading edge. I spent some very useful months analyzing performance date, not that it was that exciting; however, it did get me away from the constraints of the drawing office and introduce me to computers.

                                                        BAC TSR-2.

The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 was a cancelled Cold War strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The TSR-2 was designed to penetrate a well-defended forward battle area at low altitudes and very high speeds, and then attack high-value targets in the rear with nuclear or conventional weapons. Another aspect of its combat role was to provide high-altitude, high-speed photo reconnaissance, requirements that necessitated incorporating "state-of-the-art" aviation technology that would make it the highest-performing aircraft in these roles. Although only one prototype was completed, test flights indicated that the aircraft would be able to meet its stringent design specifications. These specifications were however reduced as the results of flight testing became available. The TSR-2 was the most visible victim of the 1957 Defence "White Paper" that, along with inter-service squabbling over Britain's future defence needs, led to the controversial decision to scrap the programme in 1965. With the election of a new government, the TSR-2 was ostensibly cancelled due to rising costs, in favour of purchasing the General Dynamics F-111, an "off-the-shelf" decision that itself was later rescinded as costs and development times skyrocketed.

                          

                                                VC10 of the RAF

In the early 1950's Vickers were already working on designs for a 4 engine jet airliner, originally known as the V1000,  Unfortunately, the government pulled the plug on the project, as the prototype neared completion.  The initial concept of the VC10 was to provide a jet-powered airliner that could comfortably make use of the shorter runways commonly in use at the time. The performance of the VC10 was such that it achieved the fastest crossing of the Atlantic - London to New York by a jet airliner, a record still held to date for a sub-sonic airliner. As of June 2010, 13 VC10s remain in service as aerial refueling and transport aircraft with the Royal Air Force

V1000

The Vickers Armstrong V-1000 was a prototype jet-powered cargo aircraft designed to a UK Ministry of Supply requirement for a strategic transport to support the V Bomber fleet. Both the Ministry and Vickers also intended to use the same basic design as the VC7, a six-abreast trans-Atlantic jet airliner for BOAC. With the prototype largely complete, the Ministry of Supply cancelled the development contract in 1955.

                                

                             

                                         BAC 1-11 of American Airlines.

The BAC 1-11 was a short range jet twin engine airline of the 1960s and 1970s. It was first conceived by Hunting Aircraft Company, but developed and produced by British Aircraft Corporation.  It was designed to replace the Vickers Viscount and proved to be very successful, with sale in the United States given it world wide recognition. After a disastrous flight test stage where 3 aircraft were lost, modification gave the aircraft a reliable and long life with a forced retirement in the 1990s due to noise restrictions

Armed with computer experience I returned to the drawing office to help set up Computer Aid to Design, the aim being to set up a computer driven system to establish aircraft envelope shapes, we called this process Surfacing. Furthermore, the system would supply by drawing and numerical form, all the dated need for structural and aerodynamic design leading to production.  With Concorde structure failures experienced under testing at Farnborough, the Fin, Dorsal and Rudder components need extensive strengthen via additional structure supports. Purely by luck these were the areas we had chosen to both help develop and test out our CAD system, and from then on we were able to supply all information needed for production of the Rear Fuselage and Tail Fin areas of Concorde via computer generated drawings, data sheets and NC tapes.

                                               BOAC Concordes

The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was a turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner, a supersonic transport (SST). It was a product of an Anglo-French government treaty, combining the manufacturing efforts of Aérospatiale and the British Aircraft Corporation. First flown in 1969, Concorde entered service in 1976 and continued commercial flights for 27 years.  With only 20 aircraft built, their development represented a substantial economic loss, in addition to which Air France and British Airways were subsidised by their governments to buy them. As a result of the type’s only crash on 25 July 2000 and other factors, its retirement flight was on 26 November 2003.

It’s sad to reflect that a considerable amount of my time in the industry was wasted on project that never flow, due to politics, rising cost and the American Aircraft industry influenced the death knell of many projects, until the sum of all these influences lead finally to the demise of our industry.  The last aircraft project I was involved in was the MRCA later named the Tornado by the RAF, not the we were that involved with the project, more like overspill work from BAC Warton Lancaster, formally English Electric.  I did spend one summer working in they Full Scale Drawing Office back on the drawing board at BAC Warton, I needed the extra money the job was offering to get married.  The same reason would shortly force me to leave the industry and find richer pastures in the Motor Car Industry. 

                                                 The RAF Tornado

Developed and built by Panavia Aircraft GmbH, a tri-national consortium consisting of British Aerospace (previously British Aircraft Corporation), MBB of West Germany, and Aeritalia of Italy, the Tornado first flew on 14 August 1974. It saw action with the Royal Air Force (RAF), Italian Air Force and Royal Saudi Air Force in the Gulf War. International co-operation continued after its entry into service within the Tri-National Tornado Training Establishment, a tri-nation training and evaluation unit operating from RAF Cottesmore, UK. Including all variants, 992 aircraft were built for the three partner nations and Saudi Arabia.

Page 42 Melvyn Pettard-The Surrey Years

The Surrey Years.

We left London the beginning at of the school summer holidays 1952. Dad, due to being employed at Vickers Armstrong Division Weybridge, Surrey was offered a new council house. At this time houses were being built on grounds given to the local authorities by the company, with the assurance that a percentage of the houses would be offered to their workers.  I can remember when we all first traveled by train from London to look at the housing estate named Brooklands, mum was never that frilled at the thought of leaving London and I guess this was a way of trying to assure her. I don’t think that at this time we know which house would be ours, but I believe at the time it was going to be one of the houses currently under construction in Seagrave Close. As things turned out we finished up at 14 Seagrave Close, the top house at the end of the close that dad had wished for on our first visit.

The area was a wonderful place for a boy of 11 who had hardly seen a green field of hedgerow, so many places to explore and find adventure, so much room to roam and sights to take in, so many opportunities to merge and be part of the countryside.

Our housing estate was not named Brooklands by chance, it was situated on the very edge of the first ever purposed built motor car racing track in the world. The whole area had at one time belonged to the Locke-King family, and it was Lock-King that built the Brooklands racing track that opened in 1907. The history of the track is the subject of many books covering the exploits of so many famous names that raced there up until the Second World War. The track at one time would hold all the conceivable motor car and motor cycle records for speed and endurance that one could imagine, it was also one of the social events of the year and I must for the high flying society of the time. With the quest for speed and power an industry grow up within the center arena of Blooklands, an industry at first to cater for the racing car, however, as car engines grow in size and power it was not long before they were to be put to another use, flight, and so the aircraft industry was born amid and circled by the world of motor car racing. This then was the setting for Those Magnificent Man and there Flying Machines from which the British Aero Industry was born, at one time it would house every known aero company in the business up until the WWII, from then Vickers Armstrong Aircraft Company would be the sole company still situated at Brooklands. So the whole area boarded by the racing tack becomes an airfield and manufacturing area much needed for the war effort.

                                   

          1930’s racing cars roaring pass Vickers aircraft hangers at Brooklands.

   The racing track along with many unoccupied buildings became a boys dream of an adventure playground, the track just a few yards away from our back garden was banked and raised to a considerable height, and with the help of trees to the earth side of the bank we would make our way to the top and look down on the airfield in the center with the River Way flowing through. To the left was the member’s bridge spanning the racing track and leading to members and press box buildings. To the right the banked track bridged the River Way then leveled out to run parallel with the main London to Southampton railway, known has the Railway Straight. It was not only the truck and its surrounds that enticed us to make the long haul up the steep earth embankment, this after all was still the center of one of the countries largest aircraft companies and with the sound of aero engines running, I doubt I missed a single take off from that vantage point atop the banked track.

Other attractions were the river Way and while there was plenty of fishing spots for a young boy, the thought of fishing the quiet stretch within the bounds of the track was far too tempting, and many an early morning I would make my way up the river to my favorite spot. Winter and snow brought with it more fun this time on the track it self, with snow settling the concrete racing truck become our downhill toboggan ride, the ride down was short and sweet but the climb back for the next down ride was difficult and exhausting, we needed to go from one Sliver Birch tree to the next slowly making our way back up.  The trees had been planted during the war to help camouflage the track from Germany bombers, but still the airfield and its buildings were hit many times.

So it was I grew up within the country side of Surrey never thinking, other then to go see my beloved Arsenal, of ever returning to live in London. It was not long before I would be working within the perimeter of Brooklands, joining my father at Vickers Armstrong Weybridge to train and work has a Full Scale Draughtsman, so now I could explore the racing track and fish the river legally. I often recall the day of the big flood when the river Way over spoilt its bank flooding the whole airfield, as I sit atop of the banked track I heard I loud noise like an explosion, to my right the force of the flooded river was so powerful that it had swept away the race track spanning the river. It did not occur to me until a got home just how close I was setting to the portion of the track that was now at the bottom of the river.

   Early Days at Brooklands with its concrete surface looking new.

     A standing start maybe 1930’s.

Very early days,

 the solid rubber rimmed wheels over the concrete did not make for a smooth ride. 

                                                          

 Members Bridge today still much as I remembered it as a boy,

 minus the Sliver Birch Trees.

 

 I spent most of my first 20 years of working life with the company which gave me every opportunity to educate myself, an opportunity that I took with thanks, however, I spent every minute of my free time playing sport, mostly cricket at the companies sports center at Byfleet.  Through my time the company went from Vickers Armstrong Weybridge Division to the British Aircraft Corporation BAC, then finally British Aerospace, until its closure in 1989 ending some 64 years of aircraft manufacture dating back to 1915, a sad closure of a very historical aircraft manufacturing  site.
