With blurb "Rodborough Round is a sixteen millimeter film made by the students at Rodborough Secondary School in the spring of 1953. It was shot on a borrowed ex-Royal Air Force camera using surplus film. Since this original film has made splices in it and it is now 35 years later, the condition of the film is questionable. I think a copy of the film was given to the Rodborough Headmaster. Mostly it is about the school and the locale. Since I have no projector, I have not viewed it for years. I hope it will fit in St Paul's Archives"

Britain's flying Prince, Charles, the Prince of Wales, went to the Royal Air Force airbase Mildenhall on Monday and looked over many United States Air Force [USAF] aircraft, but the most interesting seemed to be the SR-71 Lockheed 'Blackbird' strategic reconnaissance aircraft. Watched by its crew, Lieutenant Colonel Lenard Shelteon (left) and Major Russell Szcepanik, the Prince sat in the cockpit of the Mach 3 (over 2000 mph) twin jet 'spy' plane, that can fly at over 80,000 feet. The plane can survey 60,000 square miles of the earth's surface in one hour while on patrol at speeds faster than a speeding bullet

Radio 1's Royal April Fool. Millions of Radio 1 listeners were fooled this morning on the 'Mike Smith Radio 1 Breakfast Show' when instead of American rock star Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Edward turned up to take part in the programme. 'The Prince' who has come to talk to Radio 1 about his involvement in The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, entered into the spirit of April Fools Day by pretending to be the American star 'Prince' until his voice finally gave him away. He also demonstrated the new Radio 1 stereo sound by drinking orange juice and crunching BBC toast before the microphone. "Prince Edward was wonderful, he was as much a part of our April Fool's joke as everyone else involved with the programme", said Mike Smith.
