C. J. Hambro (1885 – 1964). Politician, literary critic and translator, member of Parliament of Norway, President of the Parliament of Norway, leader of the Norwegian Conservative Party, last President of the League of Nations. He is related on his (Danish born) father’s side to his namesake investment banker Carl Joachim Hambro (1807–1877), founder of Hambros Bank.
When Germany invaded Norway, 9 April 1940, he organized the evacuation of the Royal family, prominent members of the government, and Bank of Norway gold reserves. While in Sweden he helped organize the Norwegian underground resistance movement.
The remainder of the war, he spent in England and USA. While in exile in USA he heard of the death of Arthur Schjelderup, but mistook this and thought an important figure in the resistance movement, Ferdinand Schjelderup, was dead. Hambro wrote an obituary, published in “Norwegians Worldwide”, 1944. Very much still alive, Ferdinand was forced to flee Norway in haste and wait out the peace in Sweden.
Hambro would sometimes allow his political views to influence his book reviews. Also, his literary criticism and translations ofttimes suffered from the pressure of other commitments. His son describes how a book that needed to be translated quickly would arrive, and Hambro would divide it into three or four sections, having his wife and sons take a share in the work. That Hambro sat in the Speaker’s chair translating who-dunnits during debates, was a common witticism at the time.
He had five children, and married twice. The eldest son, Edvard Hambro, followed in his father’s footsteps, and took a seat in the Parliament of Norway, before leaving to become UN delegate for Norway & in 1970 President of the UN.

A high wind driven grass fire north of Predator Ridge brought 4 AT-802 Fire Bosses to the area to action the fire. These 4 were orbiting in my neighborhood while the Electra tankers were dropping retardant around the fire. Their combined effort brought the fire under control just before dark. The Fire Boss can carry 800 gallons of retardant/water and is a very effective tool in supressing fires. My shots are not great, but at least I got them all.

New saw that black part on the aircraft's fin before!
En venant des Daules par le sentier douanier, vous aurez longé la Pointe du Nid pour aboutir dans le pays de Saint-Coulomb. Voilà encore un de ces villages (un de plus !) fondé par un moine, Colomban, qui débarqua d'Irlande en l'an 580 et fondit ici une petite paroisse.
L'anse Du Guesclin que borde un superbe croissant de sable blond, la plage du même nom, est un des fleurons naturels de la petite cité. Les dunes qui l'abritent, au Sud, sont une terre de prédilection pour le panicaut maritime particulièrement abondant à cet endroit.
A l'Est de la plage, le fort Du Guesclin construit sur les vestiges d'une ancienne forteresse, s'isole sur son île dès que la marée monte. Son origine est fort ancienne et vient du nom du constructeur du premier édifice : Bertrand Du Guesclin, aïeul du chef de guerre qui portait le même nom. La première forteresse, édifiée en 1160 et occupée par la famille pendant 3 générations, changea de propriétaire en août 1234 où le roi Louis l'attribua à Henry d'Avaugour. La famille Du Guesclin s'installa au château du Plessis-Bertrand, dans les terres de Saint-Coulomb, dont la construction s'étala de 1247 à 1259. La forteresse édifiée à l'origine sur l'île se dégrada au cours des ans pour finir par être démantelée puis rasée. Sur la base des systèmes défensifs dessinés par Vauban, encore lui, le fort actuel fut construit en 1758 afin de défendre la côte contre les attaques anglaises. Il est démilitarisé depuis bien longtemps et désormais occupé par de paisibles résidents.
