Flying 12 DHC goes on its holidays Part 4

Day 3: Meeting a relation of Reginald Mausley

Nigel Maudsley meets the Flying 12 DHC

To set the background to this story, we need to go back a couple of weeks to the New Forest Show. A gentleman arrived on the Club's Stand and announced himself as Nigel Maudsley, grandson to Reginald Maudsley, founder of The Standrd Motor Company. Obviously the interest of the members on the Stand was aroused as was the interest of Nigel himself. The folowing day, Nigel returned with an amount of Company memorabilia.

Day 3 of our tour therefore became a trip to Lymington in the New Forest to meet Nigel at his home. You can see him posed with the Standard above. The outcome of these meetings will be copies of a number of interesting photographs  and other items that Nigel has inherited from his own father.

Though Nigel is too young to remember his grandfather, this is a useful contact which will benefit us all by filling in some of the backround to the Standard Motor Company. I hope to publish some of Nigel's memorabilia in due course.

After Lymington, the Flying 12 took us via Christchurch  and Bournmouth to Poole and Sandybanks. Here we caught the ferry to the "Isle" of purbeck and Swanage. Therefter the route took us via Dorchester  XXXX  and eventually arrived at Beer in Dorset. Here we had arranged to meet friens for two nights at the Dolphin Hotel
