[NB 1 – Alexander Bannerman, MP for Aberdeen 1832-1847
After his parliamentary career had ended in 1847, Bannerman began a new career as a
colonial governor. His first appointment was as Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island
in 1851, followed by the Governorship of the Bahamas in 1854 and finally Newfoundland in
1857
It was while Governor of Newfoundland between 1857 and 1864 that Bannerman left his
biggest mark upon history. According to the Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage website
“Bannerman’s term began in the midst of heated negotiations between the colony, France
and Britain regarding French fishing rights along the French shore. Bannerman found the
Newfoundland government, under John Kent [1805-1872, Premier of Newfoundland 1858-
1861], unreasonable in its dealings, and corrupt. He argued that undeserving people received
relief aid, and that funds were misappropriated. Characteristically, Bannerman tried to fix the
problems. During the 1859 elections, he called for an enquiry into election procedures at
Harbour Grace and Burin [two towns on Newfoundland] after reports of disorderly conduct
took 10 days to reach him. He also held an independent inquiry into reports of undue
influence within the Assembly. The most sensational political drama ensued when Bannerman
dissolved the government during a dispute over a currency bill when premier John Kent
questioned the governor’s authority. The dissolution resulted in a tense election of the
opposition party to power [led by Hugh Hoyles 1814-1888, Premier of Newfoundland 1861-
1865], and crowd violence in St. John’s. Troops quieted the riots, however, and the
government resumed its work.”
After his term expired in 1864, Bannerman returned to Great Britain where, weakened by a
cold, he died as a result of falling down a flight of stairs on 30 December 1864.]

[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.’
