When the Boarding Party from HMAS Sydney reached the beached Emden, to recover the dead and wounded, they also recovered the Captain's safe, containing the ships imprest of funds for procuring fuel rations and so on . 6,429 Mexican Silver 8 Reales were found. One thousand of those coins were given to William Kerr jewellers, with the company commissioned to produce the Sydney-Emden Medal. Adorning each Mexican silver dollar with the King’s Crown in unison with superb scrolls, the jewellers created one of the most memorable decorations in military history.

In July, 1944, Flight Lieutenant Fopp was acting as instructor during a night flying test, when his aircraft collided with another aircraft, tearing away the whole of the starboard elevator and about one-third of the starboard tail' plane. In addition, the port tail plane was damaged and all but one foot of the port elevator torn away. The aircraft' became uncontrollable. Assuming command, Flight Lieutenant Fopp made preparations to abandon the aircraft but by careful piloting was able to regain control and fly it back to the airfield. He lowered the wheels and made preparations for landing but the aircraft went out of control again. With great skill and presence of mind, he raised the flaps and, regaining some degree of control, effected a landing, at the same time succeeding in preventing a blockage of the runway. It was then found' that the tail wheel had also been ripped away in the collision. Throughout the whole incident, this officer showed the greatest coolness and skill and his action was entirely responsible for the safe landing of the aircraft and its occupants."

This is a wonderful place for Richard Reynell’s memorial as it is located in one of the 27 locations in London with line-of-sight to St Paul’s Cathedral - meaning that nothing can be built between the location and St Paul’s that would block the view of the cathedral. I am sure that, as a Pilot, Richard would appreciate the location as it gives fantastic views over the city that he was so heroically defending.
