CHARLES PEYTON VENTRIS, lieutenant-
Patrick Clavell Blount was a voluminous author on various subjects and was a campaigner against the floridation of the public water supply. “He had served as a catering officer at Scampton, a bomber base in Lincolnshire, during the Second World War. He talked about seeing the young airmen off the tarmac at dusk and then staying up to cook breakfast for the ones who made it back from the night’s mission over Germany. Clavell Blount may have been a crank, as Enoch Powell certainly claimed when he was Minister for Health. But the memory of those missing fliers was built into the campaign he waged so stubbornly against the excesses of a state that he considered to be eroding the liberties they had gone out to defend.” http://www.patrickwright.net/wp-
