On October 30th 1959 Jim Mollison, died.

Born in Glasgow in 1905, Mollison learned to fly in the Royal Air Force in the early 1920s. When he joined the RAF, James Allan Mollison, aged eighteen years, was the youngest officer in the Service. That he should have begun his flying career with a record was characteristic of the man who was to create so many records in aviation.

After leaving the RAF Mollison went to Australia, not as an aviator, but as a bathing beach attendant. That he would have returned to aviation sooner or later was inevitable, but his decision to do so was hastened while he worked as a beach attendant.

One afternoon an aeroplane from the New South Wales Flying Club flew low over the water. Mollison had not flown since his RAF days, but the sight of that aeroplane and the noise of its engines reminded him that flying was the one thing in life he wanted to do. He gave out his last towel, organized his last bathing party and obtained a post as instructor to the South Australian Flying Club, at Adelaide.

He went on to fly for Australian National Airways, it was during this time he was introduced to a certain female passenger. She was the similarly famous, pioneering English aviatrix, Amy Johnson. Mollison proposed to Amy Johnson only eight hours after that meeting – while still airborne.

Mollison and Johnson were married in July, 1932 and the press dubbed them ‘The Flying Sweethearts’. Together, they went on to set several ‘joint’ records. Mollison a gambler and a heavy drinker and, as a consequence, his marriage to Amy Johnson became strained and they were divorced in 1938, after a mere six years of marriage.

Mollison married again, but later separated for the second time. His drinking continued to be a problem and, in 1953, the Civil Aviation Authority Medical Board revoked his flying license.

His second wife, Maria bought the Carisbrooke Hotel in Surbiton for him – a temperance hotel. He died on this day 1959, aged just 54.

AMY JOHNSON // PILOT

“She was a pioneering English pilot who was the first woman to fly solo from London to Australia. Flying solo or with her husband, Jim Mollison, she set many long-distance records during the 1930s. In 1933, Katharine Hepburn's character in the film Christopher Strong was inspired by Johnson. She flew in the Second World War as a part of the Air Transport Auxiliary and disappeared during a ferry flight. The cause of her death has been a subject of discussion over many years.”

AMY JOHNSON

AMY JOHNSON

1 July 1903 – c. 5 January 1941

ENGLISH PILOT, DISAPPEARED AGED 37

            Amy Johnson was an English aviator. She had trained to become a qualified ground engineer serving planes, and became qualified as a pilot in 1923.

            Johnson was born in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, into a family of fish merchants. She went to University to study economics and worked in London as a secretary. She was never fulfilled with secretary work and yearned for more. She was working for a solicitor who flew as a hobby, she took a flight in 1926 and fell in love with flying and became one of the first women to gain a licence. 

            Johnson became a celebrity due to her flying achievements. In her Gipsy Moth aircraft ‘Jason’ she flew solo from England to Australia in 1930. In 1931 she flew to Japan and back and din 1932 she made a record solo flight to Cape Town and back. With her husband, she made a record flight in 1933 across the Atlantic Ocean in 39 hours. In 1934, they flew to India in 22 hours and in 1936 she made a new solo record for flying from London to Cape Town.

            She was married to pilot James Mollison; the marriage was troubled due to his affairs with numerous women and drinking. The couple divorced in 1938.

            During World War II, Johnson worked for the Air Transport Auxiliary which delivered aircrafts to those when needed. Johnson flew aircrafts from factories to RAF bases.

            Johnson most likely died when her plane disappeared in 1941. It is believed that her plane crashed over the Thames Estuary during World War II. Her body was never recovered and it was presumed she had drowned. Johnson once said, “I’ll fly till I die… and I hope I die flying.”

            Katharine Hepburn’s character in Christopher Strong (1933) was inspired by Johnson.

The Flying Season

New Yorkers witnessed flying milestones and mishaps in the summer of 1933—after Wiley Post landed at Bennett Field, he became the first person to fly solo around the world, and famed Italian aviator Italo Balbo would bring a squadron of 24 Savoia-Marchetti S.55 flying boats across the Atlantic and triumphantly land them on the Hudson River. So before we get to the Aug. 5 issue… Aug. 5, 1933 cover…

Amy Johnson (1903-1941) Pioneering English aviator.

[historical-babes]

Amy Johnson (1903-1941).

Pioneering English aviator.

.

She was a spearheading female pilot who initially became famous through her endeavour to set a record for a solo flight from London to Darwin, Australia.

.

She worked in London as secretary to a solicitor and was introduced to flying as a hobby, gaining an aviator’s certificate and a pilot’s “A” Licence in 1929, both at the London Aeroplane Club. In that same year, she became the first British woman to obtain a ground engineer’s “C” licence.

.

In 1940, during WW2, Johnson joined the newly formed Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA), whose job was to transport Royal Air Force aircraft around the country – and rose to First Officer.

On 5 January 1941, while flying an Airspeed Oxford for the ATA from Prestwick via Blackpool to RAF Kidlington near Oxford, Johnson went off course in adverse weather conditions. Reportedly out of fuel, she bailed out as her aircraft crashed into the Thames Estuary.

The crew of HMS Haslemere spotted Johnson’s parachute coming down and saw her alive in the water, calling for help. Conditions were poor – there was a heavy sea and a strong tide, snow was falling and it was intensely cold.

The crew of the vessel threw ropes out to Johnson but she was unable to reach them and was lost under the ship.

.

She was married to Jim Mollison.

James Allan Mollison was born on April 19th 1905 in Glasgow.

Graeme Obree, Chris Hoy and a certain steam train have all bee called The Flying Scotsman in their time, but the original title goes to a man who actually did fly, Jim Mollison.

Jim would go on to become a pioneering aviator, breaking records for long distance flights. His marriage to fellow aviator Amy Johnson also saw them lauded as the golden couple during their time together.

Born the only child of Hector Alexander Mollison, a consultant engineer, and Thomasina Macnee Addie. He was educated at The Glasgow Academy and Edinburgh Academy and took an early interest in flying and obtaining his Royal Air Force (RAF) Short Service Commission at 18, he was the youngest officer in the service, and upon completion of training was posted to India, flying on active service in Waziristan.

At the age of 22, Mollison became a flying instructor at Central Flying School (CFS), again setting the record for being the youngest in this role. Shortly after, he transferred to the RAF Reserve and devoted his time to civil aviation. In 1928-29, he served as an instructor with the South Australian Aero Club in Adelaide, leaving that position to become a pilot with Eyre Peninsular Airways and Australian National Airways.

In July-August 1931, Mollison set a record time of eight days, 19 hours for a flight from Australia to England, and in March 1932, a record for flying from England to South Africa in 4 days, 17 hours flying a de Havilland Puss Moth.

Mollison eventually served in the ATA Air Transport Auxiliary in the Second World War. In June 1941 Mollison and an ATA crew delivered Cunliffe-Owen OA-1 G-AFMB to Fort Lamy, Chad. The aircraft was fitted out as a personal transport for General De Gaulle.

Mollison was feted in London and New York, and could lead the life he had always wanted. “I am a night bird,” he once said. “Life and enjoyment begin when daylight fades. Cocktail bars and clubs, music, beautiful women— that’s living. Daylight comes to me as an interval for sleeping until an afternoon drink helps to bring on another evening.” His autobiography was called “Playboy of the Air”.

When Mollison and Amy Jonson married in 1932 the press were delighted, they were dubbed The Flying Sweethearts by the press and public. . The match was was perfect for the publicity machine, and the two of them set about devising new aviation records: in 1933 they flew together from Wales to New York and had a ticker-tape reception in Wall Street. But marriage did not last long or end well. It has sometimes been assumed that the match was a simple career move on Mollison's part: certainly he did not halt his relationships with other women. Nor did it limit his drinking. As I said earlier, he got the tag “ the Flying Scotsman” but those close to him called him “Brandy Jim”.

As well as his Playboy lifestyle and heavy drinking Jim Mollison was also quick with his fists, and a manager from the Grosvenor House Hotel was reported as saying ” We've had the most awful night here. Jim Mollison and Amy Johnson had a fearful row and he's beaten her up. The bathroom looks like a slaughterhouse.” The marriage officially ended in 1938.

Mollison kept flying, and – like Johnson – flew in a non-combat role in WWII. Both of them flew in the Air Transport Auxiliary. Johnson died in 1941 after baling out of aircraft. Mollison had at least one close escape, when his plane was shot up, but survived the war.

Mollison later settled in London and ran a public house. He married Maria Clasina E. Kamphuis in 1949 at the Maidenhead Register Office. Mollison continued to abused alcohol and in 1953, the Civil Aviation Authority Medical Board revoked his pilot's licence. The couple separated but Maria bought the Carisbrooke Hotel in Surbiton for him – a temperance hotel.

Suffering from acute alcoholism, he was admitted to The Priory, Roehampton, southwest London, where he died on 30 October 1959, the official cause of death was pneumonia, but unofficially it was thought to be alcoholic epilepsy.

Like with my blackberry, I can get in touch with so many people, but if I dip it in a small glass of water I’m completely disconnected. – Demetri Martin • I wish I could [keep a journal].

I’m awfully backward about iPads and BlackBerries and suchlike; I still have a great fondness for Teletext, and I clung onto my fax machine for as long as I could, but eventually you have to move with the times. – David Tang • In America, Blackberry Farm in Tennessee is one of the most amazing hotels I’ve had the privilege of staying at. – Gail Simmons • In terms of the technology I use the most, it’s probably a tie between my Blackberry and my MacBook Pro laptop.

Children are nostalgic for the ‘good old days’ when parents used to read to them without the cell phone by their side or watch football games or Disney movies without having the BlackBerry handy. – Sherry Turkle • It took 10 years to go from building the initial Smartphone to reaching the mass market. BlackBerry came out in 2003 and it didn’t get to about a billion units until 2013. So I can’t imagine it would be much faster for VR. – Mark Zuckerberg • I’ve been thinking of trying my hand at rap. I’ve been recording snippets on my BlackBerry. – Rufus Wainwright • I’ve just been away for a week, and I dropped my BlackBerry in the sea while I was messing around with the kids, so no one can reach me.

Life was just a tire swing. – Jimmy Buffett • Mindfulness means being aware of how you’re deploying your attention and making decisions about it, and not letting the tweet or the buzzing of your BlackBerry call your attention. – Howard Rheingold • O, blackberry tart, with berries as big as your thumb, purple and black, and thick with juice, and a crust to endear them that will go to cream in your mouth, and both passing down with such a taste that will make you close your eyes and wish you might live forever in the wideness of that rich moment. – Richard Llewellyn • Oh, no-” They weren’t even on the runway, and Jonah’s father was already immersed in his BlackBerry. “Remember those ‘Live Large with the Wiz Generation’ posters?

As the trees (apple, quince, plum, citrus, fig) age, and the brambles are shaded out, hoofed animals come to eat fallen fruit, and the mature trees (7 plus years old) are sufficiently hardy to withstand browsing.
