A ‘work in progress’ family history website starting from an Archer family of South Oxford, who were freemen, brewers, haulage contractors, and first ‘Archer & Co’ then ‘Archer Cowley & Co’ furniture removers in the 19th and 20th Centuries, inter alia, to whom are linked by marriage the Penfolds and Wells of Southwark and Surrey, the Reeds of Devon, the Gilders of Oxford and Hinckley, the Morgans of Petworth, Sussex, the Garners of Middleton, Lancs and many others. There are connections via Phil and the present generation (born 1930s/40s) with a patent law firm known as "UD&L" with motor-racing and Scottish antecedents.
Here is Chas in full military (RAF) ‘fig’ - perhaps after the ‘wings’ ceremony. I’m not good on military protocol or uniforms and decorations. Anyway, it matters not to the fact that he looks splendid in this kit, not to mention the piston-engined aircraft engine and ‘prop’, which (very appropriately) forms the background to this representative shot.
