SMS X Trav, Towcester

Towcester, 30 March 2013

New to Brendan Collins, Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan

 

The full-size coach fleet of SMS seems to be expanding, a previously unreported arrival being this Van Hool integral, which had been with dealer Moseley since 2010. It hasn't been reported with a UK operator since then so I suspect it was a dealer hire vehicle and thought it may have only been on short-term loan to SMS, although it did turn out to have been purchased.

En un viaje a Barcelona (Espaรฑa) en tren tuve la oportunidad de hacer esta peculiar toma donde se proyectaba la sombra del telรฉfono mรณvil de la persona que iba a mi lado mientras escribรญa un sms.

The internment of the Imperial German Navy's High Seas Fleet at Scapa Flow following the cessation of hostilities on 11th November 1918 was the beginning of an interesting period in our history. The entire fleet of 74 ships had been assembled in the natural harbour at Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands, which was already a Royal Navy base. The German ships were guarded by a Squadron of RN vessels. No Germans were allowed to leave there ships or cross to other ships or the land for the full duration of the internment - six months as it happened. All food had to be supplied from war-ravaged and defeated Germany as the British refused to feed their 20500 captives. Medical, but not dental, treatment was provided. No radio communication was allowed and the Ensign of the German navy had to be taken down and stowed. This situation persisted right up to the day on which Germany was supposed to sign the Treaty of Versailles in France, agreeing the terms of their surrender. Britain had gradually begun to remove German crew from the vessels and transported them first to Nigg Island PoW camp and thence back to Germany, but on the day of the scuttling, 21st June 1919, there were still 4800 men on the ships. The German Commander was Rear-Admiral von Reuter. Fearing that his capital ships and destroyers would be divided up amongst his enemies, at 11.20 am on the morning of 21st he flag-signalled the order to scuttle. The first ship to sink was Friedrich der Grosse which began to list heavily to starboard around 12 noon and sank at 12.16. at this point all the ships hoisted the Imperial German Ensign at their mainmasts. The crews then began to abandon ship. In all 52 of the 74 ships interned sank. The Royal Navy, with no prior knowledge of the scuttling plan, were on fleet exercises in the North Sea and could do little to stop the German ships sinking.

  

The photographs you see here were taken on a Box Brownie from the Tender of HMS Canning, one of the Guard ships and must have been taken after 6th December 1918 when SMS Dresden arrived but before 9th January when SMS Baden was the last to arrive - she is noticeably missing from this set. The annotated aerial view is a picture post card that was available at the time, but the longitudinal view is believed to have been taken using a balloon. My Grandfather, Norman Wilfred Knight was a boy seaman at the time and went on to serve in the Merchant Navy in WW2, he was torpedoed twice, but survived. The photographs, in their original paper wallet were discovered when we cleared my parentsโ€™ house following the death of my Father, Norman Richard Knight.

 

I hope you enjoy these shots, remember those who served on both sides in the conflict and visit the beautiful islands of Orkney off Scotland;s northern coast.

I had just one frame left on the film when I heard that an SMS had hit a Post Office Telephones van from the other direction. Due to the crash, SMS 405 remained unlicensed at North Street after other vehicles in the batch had left to be replaced by DMSs.

Y389 FNH (ex Y4 SMS)

Towcester, 26 October 2005

 

The original Y4 SMS was re-registered Y389 FNH and stripped to plain white, but wasn't disposed of and lasted for a further three years alongside the vehicle that took its registration. Interestingly both ended up in Essex, this one going to APT Travel of Rayleigh with the new Y4 SMS joining SJH Travel of Canvey Island a couple of years later.

Simpson (SMS Executive Travel), Towcester

Towcester, 18 May 2002

 

X946 AVV and X987 AVV were reported by the PSV Circle as non-PSV Ford Tourneos so it was a surprise to visit the depot and discover they were in fact LDVs, supplied by local dealer Brian Currie. 946 and the previously unreported third example X983 AVV were factory 16-seaters, which ran here for about three years.

Buckingham, 7 March 2014

New to Brendan Collins, Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan

 

This was noted at the Towcester depot in March 2013, when it had only just arrived and was still in plain white. I then didn't see it again for a year until I encountered it one afternoon caught in traffic caused by roadworks on the Buckingham bypass, now in full livery and proving that it was purchased and not a dealer loan as I originally thought.

On the morning of 3 August, ISIL forces captured the city of Shingal as well as the Shingal area. As ISIL attacked Shingal and neighboring cities.

In surrounding villages, many residents fled immediately. According to Yazidis, ISIL fighters asked the remaining Yazidis to convert to Islam or face death, and ISIL Twitter accounts posted images of murders on individuals in the Sinjar area.

Almost 200,000 civilians, mostly Yazidis along with Shia and some Kurds, managed to flee from the fighting in Shingal city. About 50,000 of those Yazidis fled into the Shingal Mountains, where they were trapped without food, water or medical care, facing starvation and dehydration.

By August 10, Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), People's Protection Units (YPG) and Kurdish Peshmerga forces defended some 30,000 of the Yezidis by opening a corridor from the mountains into nearby Rojava, through the Cezaa and Telkocher road, and from there into Iraqi Kurdistan.
