[NB 1 – Otho William Nicholson, MP for Abbey 1924-1932]
Nicholson was one of only three survivors of an air crash at London Airport on 2 March 1948.
The following edited report appeared in “The Times” of 3 March 1948:-
‘A Dakota aircraft of the Sabena Airline [the national airline of Belgium] from Brussels, arriving
at London Airport, Heathrow, in thick fog soon after 9 o’clock last night, crashed in landing
and burst into flames on the ground. Of the passengers and crew, numbering 22, all but three
were killed. The three survivors [including Nicholson] were pulled clear of the wreckage by the
first members of the airport rescue teams to reach the aircraft…….This is the worst accident
that has happened at London Airport. The aircraft landed in a nose dive about 50 yards from
the wide concrete band of the runway which is generally used in fog. There was an explosion
and the Dakota broke into fierce flames immediately.‘After the three survivors had been rescued the heat became so intense that no more rescues
were possible. In spite of the water and foam poured on to the flames the fire raged some
time before it became possible to reach the first bodies. The rescue squad and other helpers
worked in the fog in the beams of portable searchlights, ankle-deep in mud and foam. In an
hour or so the fire had almost burned itself out, leaving masses of red-hot ashes from which
the charred bodies were extricated with great difficulty, long pauses being necessary while
more water was poured in.’[NB 2 – by-election contested by Winston Churchill, who was only narrowly defeated]

Toby Perkins – 2021 Comments on BTEC Results
The comments made by Toby Perkins, the Shadow Minister for Further Education, on 10 August 2021.
Labour congratulates the 230,000 students who have achieved their Level 3 BTEC qualification today.
They should be proud of their achievements through the most challenging of circumstances and against the backdrop of a Conservative Government looking to devalue their qualifications.
Despite the high value placed on BTECs by employers and universities, the Government plans to scrap most of these qualifications putting young people’s life chances at risk.
The Government’s alternative T-Level qualifications are currently unproven and a hasty charge to abolish Level 3 BTECs would be hugely irresponsible.

John Redwood – 2018 Comments on Roaming Charges in EU
The comments made by John Redwood, the Conservative MP for Wokingham, on 16 September 2018 in an article at https://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2018/09/16/project-fear-caricatures-itself/.
This week the main mobile companies confirmed they will not be imposing new roaming charges when we leave! There is enough competition in the market to keep prices down. A company like Vodafone anyway offers free roaming for non EU countries like Norway and Turkey as well as Iceland, a country which cancelled its application to join the EU. It is always wise to check your contract, as the so called EU free roaming may well have a usage limit.
