Not a Lot of People Know That

The first British Royal owner was the Duke of Windsor who, was attracted to thecar after his adventures in the First World War, when he drove a Silver Ghost.

The Duke of Edinburgh was lent a very special car by Rolls-Royce: a Bentleyprototype of the Phantom IV with the new and enormously powerful straight-eightengine. The Duke could and did, drive it at 130 m.p.h.. Hence its nickname: TheScalded Cat.

The Shah of Iran must have been one of the best customers Rolls-Royce everhad. His astonishing collection included virtually every Rolls-Royce model evermade.

King Farouk of Egypt was also a multiple owner. When in exile in Rome, heordered a new Bentley but by the time it arrived, Farouk (who gave newdimensions to the word self-indulgence) was too fat to get in!


The Chairman’s BitSince January, the Section has enjoyed a variety of eventsthe write-ups on which you will find in the following pages.In February we held our New Members Lunch at which wewelcomed seventeen new members to the PaulerspurySection, at the same time providing a guided tour of theHunt House facility and an opportunity for all in attendanceto visit the Club shop.

Our Sunday lunches have taken us to venues the Section has not previously visitedand this is largely thanks to new members offering to organise events. If you havenot yet organised a Section event, why not get involved and have a go? New eventorganisers are supported by either a committee member or an experienced organiserto help with the task, so it need not be so daunting.

Take a few minutes to visit the Section website and Facebook page when you can(details on page 23). These keep you up to date with what we have done, providingglorious photographs online to view and also details of what we have planned forthe future. They also provide information on non-section events which we are unableto include in our calendar but which may still be of interest. On the home page ofour Section website, you will see a link to the main Club website and here you canfind a wealth of information from who’s who at the Hunt House to technicalinformation on all kinds of vehicle issues.

The summer months will soon be upon us and this will no doubt encourage more ofus to come out with our cars. Whether or not you currently have a club car or ifperhaps, yours is temporarily unable to proceed, still book yourselves in to join us atan event soon. If the event happens to be one involving specific use of a car, a road-run or treasure hunt for example, any of your fellow members would be delighted toprovide a ‘ride’ on the day. Often this ice breaking occurrence can bring about thebeginning of a new friendship or at very least, ensure that all enthusiasts’ are welcomeand a car is not a pre-requisite of joining the Club or our Section.

The free issue to you of our Section magazine relies on the continued support of ouradvertisers and to that end I am certain that they, in turn, would welcome yourbusiness should you need to avail of any of the services or facilities they provide.

I look forward to seeing you at an event soon, meanwhile, drive safely and enjoy theClub.

Northamptonshire Lunch - Greens Restaurant, Collingtree Park Golf ClubSunday 23rd February

The Greens restaurant on the Collingtree Park Golf course is a popular place forSunday Lunch and despite the confusing road layout from the M1 all the clubmembers managed to find the venue ok.

The weather was good, blue sky and a strong hint spring is on its way, so the eventstarted by small-talk in the car park under at least 8 degrees of sun. A reasonablenumber of members arrived in their club cars, some of us that live only half a mileaway, conscious of fuel prices also arrived in their club car.

The restaurant being on the top floor has a spectacular view over the 18th green,which is in fact an island; the surrounding water level rising as the moat slowly fillsup with golf balls to the embarrassment of players as we judgementally look downfrom above.

The seating layout was well thought out as we could find people we met at previousevents, this is particularly important for new members – making friends & contacts,as well as having a good time. It also gave opportunity to view the colourful socksworn by all ages and provided sufficient space for the cheeky waitress to promisedancing later in the afternoon.

Those members thinking aboutsneaking down the stairs for a coupleof holes were quickly put aside whenthe excellent lunch was served, thequality was very good and those thatdid not make the event – you missedout as I can report favourably on thesize of the Yorkshire puddings.

The luncheon filled the afternoon andwas in full swing after 4.30pm, coffeewas served with a smile but somehowthe waitress lost her nerve when it

came to the dance or perhaps it was because we were too busy having a good time,or even perhaps the speeches went on a little longer.

Thanks to Greens for a splendid lunch but our special thanks to Sue and David Cooperfor organising the event – well done.

Must have been the glove that attracted a wasp Geoff!

New Members Lunch - The Hunt House - Sunday 23rd February

As most of you know, every two years we like to host the New Members Lunch atthe Hunt House and this year we were delighted to welcome seventeen new memberswho accepted our invitation.

Since joining, although some of our newer members had already visited our headoffice and taken part in section events, this was a good opportunity for everyone tomeet established and other new members at this unique site as well as discoveringmore about the Club.

In addition to the welcome presentation from our Chairman, Barry Gallafent andoverview of the club by Phillip Hall, we were joined by author Bruce Lawson whointroduced his book Charles Rolls of Rolls-Royce and gave us the background and abrief insight as to why he had been convinced that there was a need to write thisnew biography, a superb publication that interested many of those who attended.

The tour of the Archives and Hunt House facilities is always the icing on the cake,appealing to new and established members alike, who are always keen to discoverthe treasures within. Thank you to Phillip Hall for sharing his expertise and supportingus once again.

Steam Hauled to Buxton Spa - Saturday 15 March 2014

or the Paulerspury Section let off steam ……………

We stood well back on the station platform to see both the Sherwood Forester and44871 (formerly known as Sovereign) steam into Bedford Station. Some bright spark,who shall remain nameless, had suggested that the group make its way up theplatform because that would surely be where we would board our carriage. Wrong -our carriage was the penultimate of a line of ten carriages! We fought our way backdown the platform, going against the flow of all the other passengers, and eventuallystepped onto the train virtually by the skin of our teeth. Settling into our seats wewere off rattling along the rails to Kettering to pick up more of our group.

The Stanier Black 5’s were the most useful locomotives ever to run in this country.No less than 842 were built during the period 1934 to 1951 and only 18 survive,most in private ownership. They were true mixed traffic locomotives that wereequally at ease on a 350-ton express passenger service or a 50-wagon goods train.Even Peter the green engine in the Thomas the Tank stories was based on the designof the Black 5. Being brought up in Bletchley (for my sins), I was fortunate to regularlytravel on them to Euston, London, with my parents to visit family. The journey couldtake up to 2 hours – how times have changed.

Once we’d left Kettering, we were served a most welcome and delicious breakfast,particularly as we had risen early to make our way to Bedford to pick up the train.

‘The Sherwood Forester’ arrives at Bedford Station


We passed through many stations that had shut down, most by Beeching and somesince. Some stations had been beautifully restored by enthusiasts, while otherslooked sad and unloved. We crossed the Harringworth Viaduct, which traverses theWelland valley. The 82-arch brick structure was built between 1874 and 1879 and isconsidered to be one of the country’s major feats of industrial engineering. I’ve seenit from the road and can vouch that it is an amazing structure and not that far fromRockingham Castle.

We steamed through Rutland, skirted one end of Rutland Water and on throughLeicestershire crossing the Fosse Way. We rattled into Nottinghamshire and thenDerbyshire and I couldn’t get over the number of enthusiasts and train spotters Isaw taking photos of the train’s progress. I understand there is a bush telegraphthat tells them when all steam trains are out for excursions.

At Chesterfield the famous crooked spire of the parish church of St Mary and AllSaints could be seen. Apparently it’s built of timber and covered with lead plates setin a zigzag fashion to give the effect of being crooked. Getting closer to the PeakForest, we steamed into Totley Tunnel, 3 miles long and the second longest in thecountry. Then on to Hope station previously known as Hope for Castleton, a prettyvillage in the Peak District and famous for its Blue John mines. Blue John is beautifulblue/mauve quartz polished to a high shine. It was quite valuable and popular inVictorian/Edwardian times.

Picturesque Buxton Spa


On entering the Vale of Edale, ahead was the towering bulk of Kinder Scout, rising to2,088ft, the highest point in the Peak District and Mam Tor rising to 1,696ft, thelatter being known as the shivering mountain due to its unstable shale eastern slopes.The train had climbed steadily at this point and started to make its descent on afalling 1 in 90 gradient. However, before reaching Buxton, it climbed a rising gradientof 1 in 100. We certainly needed the two Black 5s pulling us up such steep gradients.

As we approached Buxton station, I had a senior moment. The train followed therails in a wide arc and through the window of our carriage I thought I saw anothersteam engine letting off steam in the distance but, as my dear husband pointed out,it was our train. Hey Ho!

The railway came to Buxton in 1833. However, all that is left of the North Weststation is the fantail glazing and carved lettering on a wall where all trains come to ahalt. The architect was Sir Joseph Paxton, noted for his work on the Crystal Palace.

Once in Buxton, we took a stroll around the town. It was bitterly cold and we spentour time diving in and out of shops until we found the newly refurbished Pavilion, aninteresting place also housing a Victorian hot house. We then went on to look at theBuxton Crescent, a once important building, created by the 5th Duke of Devonshirewith John Carr of York, one of the leading architects of the 18th Century to challengeBath as a thermal water spa resort. Unfortunately, the Crescent is much run down

Clearly, Amaryllis is not an ‘Essex Girl’ but she does have an affinity with Frinton


and needs attention.However, there aremoves afoot to restoreit to its former glory andI wish them well asserious money isneeded to return thebuilding to what it was.

On return to Buxtonstation we all piled backon to the train out ofthe cold and into thecomfort of our carriage.A Class 47 diesel enginecalled the County of Essex had been coupled to our train and we re-traced part ofour outward-bound route to join the main line towards Manchester. We left theManchester line and trundled over the Stockport Viaduct before reaching Stockport.By then, the train was rattling along at a great pace and I hang my hat up to thestewards who served the first course of our dinner - soup – without spilling a drop!Dinner was a gracious affair with silver service, good food and great company.Afterwards the carriage went quiet, mainly due to many falling asleep!

At Cheadle Hulme (the posh part of Manchester, don’t you know) we followed theroute to Stoke on Trent and headed southwards to Nuneaton, where the train tookthe Leicester line to return us to our original route via Melton Mowbray and allstations to Bedford and on to Ealing Broadway.

On the outward journey to Buxton we were treated to beautiful scenery and sawmany horses gambolling in the fields together with tiny new-born lambs shelteringagainst their mothers. During our return journey, we saw the most stunning sunset,with red, pink and indigo skies and after leaving Macclesfield, Jodrell Bank, the bigtelescope could be clearly seen in the distance. For many of us the day brought backmemories of travelling by steam train and thanks go to Barry and Ruth for organisingsuch a great day out.

Our day certainly was ‘First Class’

Hertfordshire Sunday Lunch - Redcoats Farmhouse Restaurant

Sunday 23rd March

Our weapon of choice for the day was the Continental R, which comes equippedwith a decent cabin heater, ridiculously powerful heated front seats and windscreenwipers that can move a torrential downpour in milliseconds. It seemed to be a goodchoice given the weather forecast the previous evening.

Of course, it was wall-to-wall spring sunshine as we set off with a gleaming polishedcar, but we were soon glad to be equipped with all of the above items as the rainstarted to fall. Naturally, it was back to the sunshine by the time we got to RedcoatsGreen to be greeted by a surly parking marshal (in the guise of Steve Dolan) whomerrily chided us for not bothering to clean the car! Bless him, for he managed tosqueeze quite a few of us into the tight and relatively small front car park reservedjust for us, but even so, the later arrivals had to slum it amongst the inferior marquesin the general car park to the rear of the farmhouse.

Highlight of the day (car-wise, that is) was the first public outing of David Morgan’sfabulous 1931 R-R Phantom II with a 3 position drophead coupe body (as featuredon the outside front cover). Paint and chrome gleaming, it seemed he had missedthe rain and mud that we had encountered. Although God may have been lookingdown on him as far as the weather was concerned, David is a sly old devil, and he

The car park was, as they say, was full


keeps the acquisition of newadditions to his fleet rather on thequiet side until he is ready for ashowing. However, it was wellworth the nigh on 2 year wait andhis latest beast is a fabulous andgenuinely magnificent monster.No doubt about the winner of ‘carof the day’.

After the usual banter and chat inthe car park, it was on to theserious job of eating and drinking,things at which the entirePaulerspury section alwaysmanage to excel. Numerousfriends, old and not so old arrivedand in no time the bar was buzzingwith happy chit-chat and laughter.All too soon we were seated forlunch. Redcoats Farmhouse has ajustifiable reputation for goodfood and they excelled themselveson the day. It is never easy toserve a large number of peopleand keep food hot, but the friendlystaff operated with greatefficiency and all of us enjoyedtheir excellent food.

All too soon the early leavers weredrifting away, leaving those of uswith strong constitutions to sneakback to the bar to test thestrength of the Chairman’s walletstrap. Some say that moths abidethere, but we proved otherwise!!!

Beautifully and effectivelyorganised as always by Steve andJan Dolan and our sincere thanksgo to them for a memorable dayout.

St George's Day Run and Lunch - Sunday 27th April

The Corner 5 Restaurant at Box End Park was the start and finish venue for the annualSt George’s Day Run. Participants were welcomed by St George himself, who bore anuncanny resemblance to Mark Warnock, our caretaker organiser who ably managedthe day’s events. Unfortunately, Sylvia and Derek Freeman were unable to attendand enjoy the fruit of their labours in planning the day as they were attending awedding. Inside the Corner 5, there was an array of St George’s ties and red dresseson display as members met for refreshments on the first floor overlooking the lakebefore departure for the 35 mile run through the Bedfordshire countryside.

Fluttering pennants bearing the cross of St George along the hedge-tops was thesurreal sight that greeted anyone viewing our progress along the zig-zag lane, overthe flat fields near Box End. Not until the rise over the ridge to Stagsden was our flag-bedecked convoy revealed in all its shining glory. It was the burst of speed along themain road towards Astwood that put the durability of the flags to the test, with oneof our own parting company from the Turbo R after only a mile, and at least one otherfrom someone up front gliding gracefully over the cars, before fluttering into a road-side ditch. We apologise to the locals for littering the countryside and just hope,rather doubtfully, that the flags are biodegradable!

A right out of Astwood took us along a lane through fields of billowing bright yellowrape, out of which emerged a cluster of wind turbines like giants with flailing arms.Dropping down to the T junction at Newton Blossomville, where the slot in the wall

St George guards the Section chargers


opposite marked the site of an old Home Guard machine gun post, it was good to seethe village Reading Rooms maintained in glistening white and obviously cared for.

Traversing picturesque rolling countryside, enhanced by the bright green springtimefreshness of the newly emerging leaves, we made smooth progress, through Harrold,with its ancient conical-shaped village lock-up on the green, and on to the mellowiron-stone and thatch of Poddington.

It was the good folk of Hinwick who witnessed the first burst of creativity from amongstour number, sufficient to delight any connoisseur of rebellion against authority. Ofcourse, to be out there in front of the convoy carried a huge burden of responsibilityfor the navigator, especially when so many were coaxed by the relaxed ambiance ofthe day to hand over the chore of navigation to that first car and simply follow duti-fully wherever led. However, once the right into the hamlet was taken, our erstwhileleader had second thoughts, and we were blessed with views of members’ cars at allangles across the road, as some made deft manoeuvres to turn around, whilst otherstrusted their instincts to forge ahead and rejoin the main road, just as the instruc-tions suggested in the first place. The same defiance of orders was repeated again atWymington, with equally improvised choreography from members who chose differ-ing stratagems to rejoin the route.

In less of a convoy now, smaller groups of cars bowled along the Freemans’ inspiredchoice of lanes and rolling Bedfordshire countryside. Passing through yet more beau-tiful villages of mellow stone and thatch, including Stevington with its mediaeval

A Pertinent Recipe

Section member and Master of CulinaryDelights, Peter Nightingale, has pluckedthis McDougall’s cookery book from hiskitchen archive and brought to ourattention the wonderful ‘Bentley Cake’, arecipe for which is featured opposite.

As the Annual Rally is but a short timeaway, perhaps some of you may wish tobake a ‘Bentley Cake’ and bring it along tothe Section gathering at the rear of Derekand Sylvia Freeman’s Silver Cloud III inClass 13 on the Sunday.

market cross, and Felmersham with its equally ancient bridge over the winding GreatOuse, we eventually returned to the Scandinavian chic of the Corner 5 Restaurant.

We enjoyed plenty of safe and spacious parking, excellent food and good service, plusthe thrills and many spills of the dashing wake-boarders on their whizzing cable-towto keep us entertained during the very few lulls in friendly conversation. The onlydisappointment of the day was that despite the flowing wine, none of our numberactually decided to don a wetsuit and join them on the lake.

A very big thank you is due to Derek and Sylvia for organising a St George's Day run toremember and to Mark and Kay for being excellent caretaker organisers. Our con-gratulations also go to Robert and June for winning the St George’s trophy. This waspresented to them by the Chairman who had been looking for someone doing some-thing a little ‘unique’ on the day. Robert and June fulfilled his criteria by managing tobe going the opposite way to everyone else on several occasions!
