Back to BEagle's Skylon and ULAS scarf story...
A few days before the King and Queen visited the exhibition in May 1951, Skylon was climbed at midnight by student Philip Gurdon from Birkbeck College who attached a University of London Squadron scarf near the top. A workman was sent up a few days later to collect it.
I wonder if this is 3rd Baron Cranworth, Philip Gurdon?
