The date of a funeral has yet to be arranged. He came to the last two Founders Day events at the school after my invitation for him to do so. I am letting the OE membership secretary Alan King know. He had 5 children, who are saddened in grief as is the rest of the family. After leaving school after O Levels John's career was in farming and building construction and he had recently started to ride a motorbike once more.

CONNECTION WITH QE: Pupil 1. I recall JC Swann, who might have been deputy school captain about 1. Last time I saw the name he was a major. Unfortunately he may have been the same as a Lt Colonel Jonathan C Swann killed by the Americans in the infamous 1. Black Hawk shoot down incident. His age and the location of his mother make this plausible. Does anyone have any idea if he is the same person? I don't keep up with OE official news but someone (perhaps James) may remember.

John Bibby slapped the newborn website into life with the very first thread. Neither he nor I could have suspected that it would grow and grow into something of a sprawling giant! To mark the first decade - or to start us off on the next - I've initiated this special anniversary thread with a sort of summary of how we came to be and how we have developed over the ten years.

A rather convoluted explanation by Susie Dent on Countdown (Channel 4) about the origin, probably in the 1. I would have recognised as such were, I think, told to the whole school by masters departing to go overseas. Taffy Wright, a classicist who has contributed to this site and went off to Australia, told one about an animal called a rari (not sure if it had a spelling) who complained about being pushed off a cliff because it's a long way to tip a rari. Kaye Townsend, off to Africa, recounted one whose details escape me, though the punchline was . Both brought the house down. Have I correctly attributed these departing flourishes; and are there other stories that were shared in this communal way? VIEW 5 REPLIES. RETURN TO TOPMost recent reply to this thread: 0.

This was the last play produced at the school by Colin Carter, who left at the end of the summer term, 1. I played one of the sprites lined up in the front row: not sure which one, but hopefully not the one shying away from the camera! I still have the programme . Miranda was played by A H Bullett (possibly a brother of J R Bullett, who used to own my signed copy of John Wakelin's Roots of an Diplomacy - the subject of an earlier enquiry on this site). I used to have a photo of just the eight sprites but it disappeared after I went away to university. Willy Biggs, about whom some of us have written previously, evidently provided original settings for Ariel's songs. Many thanks for the confirmation or correction of most of those school play dates, Nick. VIEW 3. 3 REPLIES. RETURN TO TOPMost recent reply to this thread: 3. June 2. 01. 5THREAD. NAME: Martyn Day DATE: 0. June 2. 01. 4CONNECTION WITH QE: Inmate 1. Two men once came to Q. E. The first was Miles Tripp. He lived at Ganwick Corner near Potters Bar and was a pupil during the 1. After the war he wrote The Eighth Passenger - a personal account of his experiences as a bomber aimer in Lancaster 'A- Able' in the night skies over Germany. In the book he details his attempt to locate his fellow crew members after the war and find out in retrospect what they thought about what they done. Although sometimes appalled by the destruction they had brought about the crew's general feeling was that at the time the bombing campaign was the only way of striking back at the enemy and it had to be done even though 5. The other man who visited Q. E came only once. He was neo- Nazi, anti- Semitic and Holocaust denier David Irving, who visited the school in the early '6. The Destruction of Dresden and to harangue the 6th form about the morality of the bombing of the city, an event that he described as . Certainly after the bombing of London, Coventry, Manchester and a dozen other cities the British were happy to see Germany getting a dose of the same medicine,! All I know is that the young men who flew those planes were brave and determined to destroy Hitler and everything he stood for. Miles Tripp was one of those men and he went to our school and I wish that he could have been in the school hall the day that the fascist Irving visited! It would be interesting to have your comments. These include (and I quote) . I truly don't think we know each other'. It turns out that, although Coren and his sister Victoria both went to independent schools, their late father Alan Coren was at East Barnet. In fact, I seem to recall the latter mentioning in an article how, when living in Potters Bar, he used to drive to Barnet every Saturday just to buy a seedy plait loaf from Victoria Bakery (something still I do myself, though less frequently and from further north). This all reminded me that what the Queen did do was visit QE Girls in the 1. I distinctly remember Grahame Morris telling us (in the late '6. Princess Anne. In the '6. I would have been aware of two VCs and an Archbishop of Tuam (Broughton), but the latter is maybe stretching a point and I didn't know where Tuam was (Co Galway, actually).
