MERLIN ROCKET FORUM

Topic : 209 Harvel Info please

Could someone look in an old year book and tell me the last owner that is registered to 209 Harvel. I suspect it will be Armstrong. The reason I ask is a little sensitive. I went to school with a Steve Armstrong who owned this Merlin or rather his dad did. I think his dad was involved with the Merlin Association in the early days, Committee member maybe. I think( not 100% sure ) Steve died sometime after he left school ( HMS Worcester ). I recently found some old 8mm film with Steve running( winning ) the 220 yrds and thought if they were still about that maybe they might like a copy.
Thanks in advance

1975 yearbook says it owned by GW Fletcher....so you need an older book than that.

The 1951 YB is the oldest YB I have. It also shows the owners of 209 Havel as G W Fletcher and Miss M Fletcher of West Kirby Y.C. She was probably built in Germany to a Jack Holt design as were 210 Kladow, 211 Gatow and 212 Spandau.

I can find no trace of an owner called Armstrong in the 1951 YB but the Hon Treasurer of the Owners' Association for many years around that time was P. Livingstone Armstrong. I had some correspondence with him many years ago when I think he lived in Switzerland. I think this maybe in a bundle of old records that I passed onto Judith Massey earlier this year.

Didn't he (P Livingstone-Armstrong) own no 16 Gently at one time?
