Ian Fairbairn
Stephen Ian Fairbairn (14 April 18965 December 1968) was a British financier and rower who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics.
Fairbairn was the son of Steve Fairbairn and his wife Eleanor née Sharwood.
He was educated at Eton, and then attended Royal Military College Sandhurst, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards on 11 November 1914.
By then the First World War was underway, but he was not posted to France until 19 May 1915, having just been promoted to lieutenant on
14 May. He transferred to the Guards Machine Gun Regiment on 12 August 1918, and was promoted captain on 18 October 1918.
He ceased to be employed with the Guards Machine Gun Regiment on 31 January 1919, and resigned his commission on 1 May 1919.
He was badly wounded during the war.
By this time, he was already a member of Thames Rowing Club, as was his father, taking part in a race on the Thames at Putney on 12 April 1919.
In 1920 he was runner up in Silver Goblets at Henley Royal Regatta in a coxless pair with Bruce Logan.
In 1923 Fairbairn stroked the Thames crew which won the Grand Challenge Cup, and was again stroke in the Thames crew that made up the eight rowing for Great Britain at the 1924 Summer Olympics, finishing fourth.
He was Captain of Thames (again following his father) in 1933, a Vice President from 1927–67 and President from 1967 until his death a year later.
He was a Steward of Henley Royal Regatta from 1948 until his death.
Fairbairn pioneered the unit trust industry at M&G Investments which he joined in 1931.
He believed that investments in equities should be available to everyone so that there was a wider ownership of stakes in the nation's economy.
Fairbairn married Cynthia Isabelle Theresa Arbuthnot, daughter of Gerald Arbuthnot MP for Burnley on 27 July 1925.
They had two children and were divorced in 1941 and he married a second time in 1941 to Esmée V. H. Bethell.
She was killed by a V-1 flying bomb in 1944.
Fairbairn appears to have held a reserve commission during the Second World War, but it is not clear if he saw any service.
From 1943 he was chairman of
M&G.
Fairbairn was the Unionist candidate for Burnley (his first father-in-law's old constituency) in the 1924 and 1929 general elections; on both occasions he came second behind Labour's Arthur Henderson.
In 1955 he became chairman of the parent group White Drummond.
In 1961 created the Esmée Fairbairn Charitable Trust as a memorial to his second wife, transferring his personal holding in White Drummond to the trust – through this investment it became one of the largest charities in the UK.

The Life of Ian Fleming
The Life of Ian Fleming is a biography of Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond and author of the children ’s book" Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".
The biography was written by John Pearson, Fleming ’s assistant at the London" Sunday Times," in 1966.
Pearson later wrote the official, fictional- biography in 1973.
" The Life of Ian Fleming" was one of the first biographies of Ian Fleming and is considered a collectible book by many James Bond fans, since Pearson would become the third, official James Bond author.
Future editions of" The Life of Ian Fleming" were altered after film producer Kevin McClory alleged that parts of the biography were untrue regarding the novel and film rights to" Thunderball".
In 1989 the biography was turned into a movie," Goldeneye".
The 1967 American paperback edition was retitled" Alias James Bond — The Life of Ian Fleming".
No other edition has this title.

Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.
