James Ruddock-Broyd represented the Society of Old Framlinghamians in the year of the 70 Anniversary of the secret Raid on Amiens Prison led by Gp Capt P C “Percy” Pickard (G26-32) who led the raid on 18 February 1944 and in whose memory there had been a pilgrimage to his grave at Amiens in April. James was also present in his capacity as serving at a former “Y” Station and attending RAF “Y” Service at Chicksands Priory.

Chris Essex writes : I was fortunate enough to meet up with Peter Bailey (K34-38) in his house when I visited Australia with my family in August 2011. Having included him in the distinguished “Service” section of the website some time before I was aware of his amazing life and this was amplified when I saw the contents of his house and particularly the study. At the time I encouraged him to document his life and I’m delighted to say that working with Jenifer Simpson OAM this has now been published.

We are very grateful to both Peter and Jenifer for allowing us to publish the complete biography on the SOF website via this link. The biography starts on page 3 and includes some amazing picture as well. I strongly encourage you to read it.

I very much look forward to meeting up with Peter again in the Hunter Valley in April 2015 to mark 150th anniversary of the College and 100th anniversary of the ANZACs in Gallipoli.

Shooting Trophy - Brandeston
On Saturday 4th October Brandeston Hall's 1st IV Shooting Team have their first competition against the Old Framlinghamians' Rifle Club (O.F.R.C) in the school's new range at 9 o'clock. The Hall's coach is none other than the Headmaster and Framlingham College's Contingent Commander, Lt Col Martin Myers-Allen who is donating a magnificent trophy called the Framlingham College Officer Training Corps (F.C.O.T.C) Recruits Cup as an apt annual prize. This was awarded to Arthur Basil Clarke (OF) in 1928. Nigel Burnip (OF) is leading the O.F.R.C team in what promises to be a splendid shooting meet and hopefully the start of an association which will continue for many years to come.
