Tubby Clayton The Reverend Philip Thomas Byard Clayton CH ( known as " Tubby Clayton " ) ( 12 December 1885 – 16 December 1972 ) was an Anglican clergyman and the founder of Toc H . Life and career . He was born in Maryborough , Queensland , Australia of English parents who brought him back to England when he was two years old . He was educated at St Paul ' s School in London and at Exeter College , Oxford , where he obtained a First in Theology . After ordination as a priest of the Church of England , Clayton served as curate at St Mary ' s Church , Portsea , from 1910 to 1915 . He then became an army chaplain in France and Flanders where , in 1915 , he and another chaplain the Rev . Neville Talbot opened " Talbot House " , a rest house for soldiers at Poperinge , Belgium . It became known as Toc H , this being signal terminology for " T H " or " Talbot House " . It closed temporarily in 1918 when the German front had drawn too close . The spirit of friendship fostered at Toc H across social and denominational boundaries inspired Clayton , the Rev . Dick Sheppard and Alexander Paterson to set out in 1920 what became known as the " Four points of the Toc H compass " : This followed the foundation of a new Toc H House in Kensington in 1919 , followed by others in London , Manchester , and Southampton . The Toc H movement continued to grow in numbers and established , also , a women ' s league . In 1930 , Clayton led Toc H into creative support of the British Empire Leprosy Relief Association . From 1922 to 1962 , Clayton was Vicar of All Hallows by the Tower in Tower Hamlets , London . While working in the area , he helped to devise the Tower Hill Improvement Scheme ( with Lord Wakefield of Hythe ) . His work also brought him into contact with the East End of London and its frequently harsh and impoverished conditions . Two aspects of his work converged in 1940 when All Hallows was devastated by bombing during the Blitz and Clayton played a primary role in fundraising for its restoration , joining this to a general drive for raising money for the similarly devastated East End . In 1948 , Clayton and John G . Winant ( the latter , at that time , the American Ambassor to the United Kingdom ) set up the Winant Clayton Volunteer Association to bring young Americans to London for volunteer work . In 1959 , the association helped to send British volunteers to America to do similar work , setting up a mutual exchange scheme that has continued to this day . While remaining based at All Hallows , Clayton travelled widely in Britain and throughout the British Empire promoting Toc H and encouraging the foundation of new branches . He was also the chaplain to the British Petroleum Company - a duty which overlapped with his chaplaincy to the Anglo - Saxon tanker fleet during World War 2 ( a position which he was particularly proud of ) . He was the subject of " This Is Your Life " in 1958 when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the BBC Television Theatre . Tubby Clayton died in 1972 . He is honoured in The Museum of Army Chaplaincy and in the " Talbot House " in Poperinge , Belgium .
AAM - N - 5 Meteor The AAM - N - 5 Meteor was an early American air - to - air missile , developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Bell Aircraft for the United States Navy . Designed for launch from carrier - based aircraft , the program proceeded to the flight testing stage before being cancelled . Development . Development of the Meteor was loosely defined at first , with both surface - to - air and air - to - air missiles being studied by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under a contract awarded in November 1945 by the U . S . Navy ' s Bureau of Ordnance ; the decision was made to construct the air - to - air version for testing , with construction of the airframe being assigned to Bell Aircraft . As built , the AAM - N - 5 Meteor was a two - stage missile , utilizing semi - active radar homing ; the first stage consisted of a solid - fueled rocket booster , with the main sustainer stage utilizing liquid fuels . It had a range of , and reached speeds of over Mach 2 , with some sources claiming a top speed of Mach 3 . Control was provided by cruciform fins . Flight testing of the AAM - N - 5 began in July 1948 at the Naval Ordnance Test Station , with Douglas JD - 1 Invader utility aircraft acting as the launching platform . Starting in 1951 , test launches were conducted using Douglas F3D Skyknight nightfighters as carrier aircraft ; fifteen launches were also made from ground launchers at NOTS ' China Lake range . However , in 1953 the program was cancelled , as better missiles were becoming available . An advanced version of Meteor , Meteor II , was assigned to be built by United Aircraft ; it was intended to have a solid - fueled booster rocket with a ramjet sustainer stage , but was not built .

Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom In 1859 Lord Palmerston instigated the Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom because of serious concerns that France might attempt to invade the UK . The recent period had seen great improvements in gunnery ( with RML and RBL designs ) ; the widespread introduction of steam propulsion in ships ( the French La Gloire and British response HMS Warrior are examples ) ; and the growth of the French battle fleet ( between 1854 - 1858 it had achieved numerical equality to the British ) . These factors convinced him that Britain ' s coastal defences were inadequate to prevent invasion by Napoleon III if the Royal Navy were lured elsewhere . The Commission consisted of six eminent naval and military officers , plus a civilian representative of the Treasury , James Fergusson , who in 1856 - 57 had published papers warning of the vulnerability of Portsmouth . Its brief was to enquire into the state and sufficiency of fortifications existing and planned for defending the UK , with a specific focus on naval dockyards . They concluded in their report in February 1860 that the fleet , standing army and volunteer forces , even combined , did not provide sufficient defence . An intensive program of fortification was begun ; the designs being overseen by Major William Jervois of the Royal Engineers , who was secretary to the Commission . The Commission recommended that only vital points be fortified , and these were considered to be the Royal Dockyards at Portsmouth , Chatham , Plymouth , Portland Harbour , Milford Haven and elsewhere . These forts became known as the Palmerston Forts . Portsmouth harbour , in particular , was given a new encircling line of forts to protect it from landward and seaward attack . Queen Victoria supported the scheme . Its chief opponent was William Ewart Gladstone , then Chancellor of the Exchequer , who resigned in protest when it was accepted . By the time the fortifications were completed in the 1880s it was clear that the French had not seriously planned to invade . The Franco - Prussian War of 1870 – 71 removed the threat and the forts became known as Palmerston ' s Follies . As a key purpose of fortification is deterrent , this judgement was harsh , but with the rapid development of warship design during the period , the time taken to plan and implement the works would always have caused problems with ensuring that the defences were capable of defeating a French attack force .
