This is a free event and everyone is welcome to come and join them in celebrating the 40th anniversary of The North Wessex Downs AONB.

Considered to include some of the fi nest landscape in England – tranquil chalk downlands, ancient woodlands, river valleys, historic sites and much more it is the duty of the County of Partners of the North Wessex Downs AONB to protect and enhance the area for future generations and encourage the social and economic well being of those who live within it.

Along with protecting the landscape the AONB works with local rural businesses to encourage a thriving economic community that will benefi t the area by providing employment, high quality products and where economic activity is in harmony with the beauty of the landscape.

Notes;The North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

(AONB) covers 668 square miles (1,730 sq km) in Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire. It was designated in 1972 to give protection to one of the most extensive tracts of chalk downland in southern England, which is also among the least affected by development.

Aloe Lovely

Among the many extraordinary men I have met, none was more entertainingly eccentric than David Stirling, the founder of the SAS, who I met at a friend’s house, where there was a

snooker table. As with the attitude of this war hero to the rest of life, he had his own rules for snooker, as I discovered when I played him. They included the privilege of kneeling on the table for certain shots and while doing that at White’s Club in London, his six foot, six inch frame had brought down all the heavy lamps, plunging the building into darkness with a loud bang and causing its evacuation in the belief that the IRA had struck.

After Commando training in 1940, David had been posted to the Eighth Army in the North African desert to assist in the battle against the German forces led by the brilliant General Rommel. Bored by the slow pace of the British weapons build-up, he conceived the idea that a small mobile team in American jeeps fitted with machine guns and carrying small bombs and demolition charges could inflict great damage on enemy airfields, dumps and bases through surprise raids in darkness. Gaining access to senior officers by a ruse, he secured permission to seek volunteers for his group of night–raiders, which was given the deliberately deceptive title of First Special Air Service Brigade.

After a disastrous start, this prototype of the now superlative SAS was eventually credited with the destruction of 250 aircraft, hundreds of enemy vehicles, munition dumps and communication centres. Leading from the front, Stirling guided his unit in darkness across many miles of desert, suddenly attacking the target and inflicting maximum damage before escaping.

Field Marshal Montgomery, who eventually defeated Rommel, is on record as saying that Stirling was ‘quite mad’ but, nevertheless, appreciated the results of his madness.

Inevitably, Stirling was captured by the Germans in January 1943 and, inevitably, escaped but was recaptured, ending up in the Colditz

fortress, where he was to remain until the war’s end when the SAS he had founded, with its slogan ‘Who dares wins’, rapidly achieved world-wide respect.

Though David and I were to become friends, meeting regularly in London and at a shoot I was in at Ryde Farm, near Hungerford (I have an indelible mental picture of him standing alone there with his gun in a field of cabbages), he disliked being questioned about his exploits which, I discovered later, were being duplicated in Kenya where he was assisting in the setting up of an SAS-type unit which scored some notable successes against terrorists.

After the war, David set up an arms-sales outfit called Watchguard. Then in 1978, in the Labour premiership of James Callaghan, when the power of the unions led to a ‘Winter of discontent’ with rubbish piled high in the streets, David applied his expertise to an organisation to keep Britain up and running in the event of general strikes, to which I gave welcome publicity.

All too belatedly, he was knighted in 1990 when, reluctantly, the seemingly indestructible warrior confessed to me that he was suffering from ‘shallow breathing’. He died later that year, aged 74.

Meanwhile, I had become friendly with an SAS commander who offered me the opportunity of visiting SAS headquarters at Hereford to watch a training exercise but only on condition that I would never write anything about it. That meant that if I ever gleaned inside information about the SAS from another source I would be unable to use it. So I declined the offer. I have regretted that rash stupidity ever since.

... Continued from page 1The North Wessex Downs AONB unit was established in 2002 and is

based at Denford Manor near Hungerford. One of the family of 46 AONBs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the North Wessex Downs is the largest AONB in southern England. The purpose of AONBs is to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the landscape. Together with National Parks, AONB enjoy the highest level of protection.

For further information about The North Wessex Downs AONB please visit www.northwessexdowns.org.uk

...Continued from page 1EDUCATIONA suggestion has been made for the possible amalgamation of Hungerford

Primary School and the John O’Gaunt Community Technology College.PARKINGThe whole Hungerford town parking issue is under review with an

added proposal for a parking area on the Oakes Bros, site in the Railway Station area.

TRANSPORT SERVICESHopes are held for improved rail and bus services at Hungerford with

bus services possibly centred on Hungerford Railway Station area.DORMITORY AREAEach development is making Hungerford increasingly more attractive

as a dormitory area to other centres.Housing development intentions have been forwarded by the Chilton

Estate in the Eddington area and at Monday’s Hungerford planning meeting an outline was given for the Rootes’ Trustees of a 25-acre development in the John O’Gaunt, Salisbury Road area. Both proposals were reported to be environmentally friendly and both developers undertook thorough co-operation and consultation with the community. The Rootes’ proposal embraced landscaping, transport, access and education. During discussion the Rootes delegation suggested the possiblity of combining the primary school and college into an all-ages educational unit bearing in mind that the primary school was at full student capacity and the John O’ Gaunt was about 200 below student capacity.

World Web News with the Adviser

HUNGERFORD IN BLOOMThere were 33 entrants in Hungerford in bloom and re-sults were to be announced, Cr Margaret Wilson told the last Hungerford town council meeting.

TOWN DEVELOPMENT ISSUEHungerord Town Council’s planning committee will consider the town’s development under a neighbourhood plan.The last council meeting was told of fears that inaction could send the wrong message to West Berkshire Coun-cil leaving it free to dictate Hungerford development.Cr Jean Hutchings said Hungerford council action “might be a way of not having things imposed upon us which we don’t like”.JUBILEE SUCCESS RECOGNISEDCr Martyn Hopkins, at Hungerford Town council’s last meeting, moved a vote of thanks to Hungerford’s mayor, Cr Martin Crane and the jubilee committee for exception-al work in organising events for the jubilee weekend.

GETTING THE FACTS STRAIGHTCr Jean Hutchings told the last Hungerford Town Coun-cil meeting it would be helpful for Cobbs farm to get facts straight over their planning application for a chil-dren’s rereational facility. She said the council did in fact support the application and she wondered why it was taking so much fl ack.

COLLEGE DEVELOPMENT DELAYEDHungerford’s John O’Gaunt Community Technology College expansion plans have received a set-back through lack of funding and the project is on hold until 2013/14 fi nancial year. The school is planning a music, drama, learning resource centre and sixth form facilities.THERE’S A RUN AFOOTPlans are under way for a Hungerford run as part of HADCAF. Cr Benneyworth told the Hungerford Town Council’s recreation, amenities and war memorials committee hat the run would receive publicity.

CHAMBER TO HELP WITH CARNIVALHungerford chamber of Commerce is expected to take over running Hungerford’s annual carnival.Hungerford Round Tble told a recent chamber meeting that Round Table no longer had the man-power or resources to organise and run the carni-val.Chamber chairman Nigel Perrin told the meeting that Neale Marney had agreed to chair a carnival committee comprising members of Round Table and the chamber.Concern has been expressed that the carnival dates may clash with the Marlborough Jazz Festival which drws many people from Hungerford.

CHURCH APPLICATION RECOMMENDEDHungerford Town council’s environment and planning committee on Monday recommended that there be no objection to an application to re-new planning permission for Our Lady of Lourdes church and 14 residential units. The committee voted 4/3 after discussion was held on the com-mittee’s original objection based on parking and the size and concentration of units.

PRESSURE FOR CROSSINGHungerford Town Council’s highways and trans-port committee will recommend that the council still press for a pedestrian crossing in Bridge Street near the war memorial.A recent traffi c and pedestrian survey found there was no basis for a crossing.

ENJOYING THE NEW LOOKSir: I really enjoyed the Marlborough Adviser’s new im-age this week. The colourful presentation and interesting articles show that it’s going from strength to strength. I also read the Marlborough advertisements, as the articles kept my eyes on the pages for longer, giving the adverts time to be noticed. Yours etc. Shirley Pryor, Marlbor-ough.
