You can open two browsers on this thread, Copy the properties by right clicking on each image in seperate postings, and paste it into the IMG command line. It will look like this...

bamber 128 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 First one is Captain Athelstan Popkess. Chief of the Nottingham City Police for nearly 30 years and easily the greatest innovator in British policing. What we would give for someeone like him now rather than the odd assortment of Home Office lickspittles that "run" policing in Nottingham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yes Bamber Popkess visited Germany just prior to the war and sussed the B's out. He was instrumental in Nottinghams war preperations. Athelstan Popkess OBE CBE - Police Officer - 35 Newcastle Drive Born in 1893, the splendidly named Athelstan Popkess became the youngest Chief Constable ever at the age of 37. His appointment was not without controversy; he had been a member of the "Black and Tans" and was photographed giving the Nazi salute in a Stuttgart boxing ring in 1936. But he was a visionary policeman. He founded the first forensic laboratory in the country, was the first to introduce police dogs and an advanced driving school. He conceived the idea of traffic wardens, and was the first to exploit wirelesses in the "Uniform Cruisers" of the Mechanised Division which grew to a force of 39 vehicles and 70 officers travelling in white Standard Ensigns and astride white Triumph Thunderbirds. He lived for many years at 35 Newcastle Drive from where he observed and then prohibited boys using Tattershall Drive as a sledge run. He led the Nottingham force until 1960 and died at the age of 75 in Torquay. And heres the answer. They all lived in the Park Estate Nice one Toots! B) NEXT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
