1943 (E) – NC Burtt – became a
Great Grandfather to Zachary in
September 2011. Norman tells us
that he has already put Zachary’s
name down for the MCC and has
had a ½ pint tankard engraved
with his name!
1947 – (G) TH Bradley – sent us
an update following his retirement
as trustee for the Addington Fund
after ten years. He was appointed
President of the Jersey Cattle
Society of the UK in August 2011.
As well as this appointment
he is Centenary Chairman of the
Central Warwickshire National
Farmers Union 2010–11, President
of the East Midlands Jersey Cattle
Club, Treasurer of the Kenilworth
and District Agricultural
Society and the Treasurer of the
Ferncumbe Youth Club.
1959 (E) –RS Little – In
celebration of his 70th birthday
in 2011, Richard Stenhouse Little
took passage in a container
vessel through the Gulf of Aden
to Khawr Fakkan (UAE), and
then transferred by road to the
Sultanate of Oman. Richard
reported, “This was a voyage
round ‘Middle East Unrest and
Somali Piracy’ to see for himself
how the world’s navies were coping
with the scourge now costing the
world economy $US 7–12 billion
annually.” His paper on this
subject was published by the Naval
Review August 2011 and he is now
involved in researching counter-
piracy.
Richard also took part in the
50th anniversary of passing out
from Britannia Royal Naval
College. “Mike Trotman, Francis
(Frank) Worthington and I all
joined the Britannia RN College
Dartmouth and started our RN
Training in the summer term
1959, passing out to the Fleet in
August 1961. Douglas JC Haslett
(deceased) had joined the term
previous, by the way, but, being
a somewhat relaxed officer, got
‘back termed’ into our term on
failure of exams!
In mid-September this year
Mike, Frank and self were part
of our ‘Dartmouth Term’s’
50th Reunion over a weekend,
including a dinner and all sorts
of related shenanigans actually
in the College itself and in
Dartmouth.”
1959 (E) – MA Trotman –
joined Richard Little and Frank
Worthington to celebrate the

‘George’ Haslett (F) died in 2007.
1961 (G) – RA Ewbank – will be,
“moving to Selborne Vicarage
after Easter, hopefully for five
years or so, where I will be
