He held the office of Justice of the Peace (J.P.). ----- DEATH OF CAPTAIN GLEN KIDSTON. We deeply regret to announce the death of Captain Glen Kidston, which took place on Tuesday afternoon, shortly after three o'clock, at his Breconshire residence, Gwernyfed, Three Cocks, at the comparatively early age of 42 years. The deceased gentleman had been in failing health for some time, but there was such a marked improvement in his condition in the spring that many friends who knew him Kr: eat worth then permitted themselves to hope that a life so valuable to those amongst whom he lived and indeed to a very much wider community might be spared for a long time to come. It was not to be, however. Towards the end of July, Captain Kidston's illness became most serious, and he gradually sank. A born fighter, he made a gallant struggle to do the best with himself from the time the first symptoms of illness appeared right on till within a few hours of his death, giving close personal attention to innumerable matters of private and public import, and resolutely refusing to permit himself that freedom from duty's tasks which his physical weakness really demanded. He seemed to be filled with that spirit which made Cecil Rhodes cry out, when his earthly course was closing, that there was still so much to do; and having a wonderful native energy and determination of purpose, he doggedly worked on till the very last. To those near and dear to him, it must now be a priceless consolation to know, as they do, that his time was largely spent in carrying out plans for the benefit of others, and that all through his trying illness he was as eager to help the distressed or to assist any good public movement as he was in the days of robust health. It is given to no man to be perfect, and Captain Glen Kidston was a man impetuous, as generous souls are apt to be but a personality more winning than his it would be almost impossible to imagine. One just had to like him the attraction of his kindness and geniality was an irresistible force. The loss to Breconshire which his death occasions cannot yet be measured what we realise now is that it is so great that we know not how the gap is to be filled. His memory will be cherished here until the children of today are old men and women, for he loved all little folk, and so many of them knew it that they will treasure up the name of Glen Kidston amongst those happy recollections of childhood which nothing can efface. Archibald Glen Kidston came from a well known West of Scotland family. He was born on April 4th, 1871, the eldest son of the late Mr George J. Kidston, of Finlaystone, Renfrewshire, N.B. The family was closely associated with the development of the shipping industry on the Clyde, and this interest in one of the leading shipping centres of the Kingdom was carried on by Captain Kidston, who had been for some years chairman of the Clyde Shipping Co. The deceased gentleman was educated privately, and afterwards took a commission in the 3rd Royal Highlanders, in which regiment he became captain and in which he remained until his death. He married in 1898 Miss Chapman, daughter of Spencer Chapman, Esq., of S4, Eccleston Square, London, and leaves her with two sons and three daughters. The elder son is a naval cadet at Osborne. Captain and Mrs Glen Kidston and family eame to reside in Breconshire some five years ago, taking Gwernyfed, Three Cocks, a beautifully situated mansion with historic associations. It was not long before the presence in the county of such a forceful personality as that of Captain Kidston was felt and appreciated. He had the will, and the means to do good, and he set about doing it, both in private in assisting individuals and in public in supporting charitable and other societies. He was one of the promoters of and principal subscribers to the Talgarth Agricultural Show, which particularly affected his own immediate district; later he took the presidency of the great Breconshire Agricultural Show at Brecon, and this year he served a similar office for the revived agricultural show at Builth Wells. His gifts to these and similar societies, intended to foster the industry of agriculture on which Breconshire mainly depends, would make a long list if they could be all set down. A loyal Churchman, he liberally supported diocesan and other Church funds and in his own parish church, St. Peter's, Glasbury, he took an intense interest. He gave a new organ and a handsome screen and installed electric light, amongst other benefactions and being very fond of music, constantly arranged organ recitals of a high standard, which were greatly appreciated in the locality. His interest in St. Peter's Church extended to the bell-ringing, and having done much to encourage the local band of ringers, he instituted an annual bell-ringing competition, presenting a beautiful shield as a trophy. In politics Captain Kidston was a Conservative, of the modern school. On more than one occasion he was heard to declare that he loathed politics as a question of party strife but much as he disliked party conflict, he felt that there was a duty imposed on him to do what he could to promote the Conservative cause, the success of which he believed to be necessary for the welfare of the country. And so he was found bringing his wonderful zeal and tireless energy to bear on the Conservative organisation in Breconshire, and by special conferences and in other ways he infused a new spirit of enthusiasm and confidence into the party which has not yet ceased to bear fruit. He was made a vice-president of the Breconshire Conservative Association, in recognition of his many services, at the last annual meeting. Here it is fitting, perhaps, to mention that for several years he had been the chairman of the directors of the "Brecon County Times" Ltd., and took a deep interest in the progress of this paper. Captain Kidston's large hearted affection for children found expression in various ways and on many occasions. He was constantly devising treats for the youngsters of the district surrounding Gwernyfed, and as recently as July last had a monster children's fete in Gwernyfed Park, when some 8,000 B Sunday School scholars from Breconshire and Radnorshire were taken there in special trains, etc., which he provided. He would do anything for children, and one recalls, as a flash-light on the secret of his influence, a road-side incident in which he was the happy centre of a group of urchins, for whose benefit he produced weird noises from some mysterious place in his motor-car. Though it was not generally known in Breconshire, he was a most liberal supporter of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and showed his sense of its value by bringing its claims before his young guests at the July fete. He found his personal pleasure mostly a in shooting and fishing, but there was no form of genuine sport that did not appeal to him, as witness the generous help he gave to the Gwernyfed Coursing Meetings, from which his neighbours, and particularly the farmers, derived so much pleasure; and his making of a splendid cricket ground near the mansion and encouraging a local team to improve their knowledge of the game in the kindest possrble way. He was one of the finest game shots in the kingdom and was a strong supporter of the National Retreiver Trials, in which he had some success as an owner. To salmon fishing he was strongly attached. He joined the Board of Conservators for the Wye and was very keen about improving the salmon fishing in that river, and was always ready to give his views a practical form. He was just as much interested in improving the salmon fishing in the Naver, in the North of Scotland, where he rented a Skelpick Lodge from the Duke of Sutherland. The happy brush of a local peer has preserved for friends an incident of the deceased's Scotch fishing experiences showing that no obstacle was great enough to daunt him. He was made a Justice of the Peace for Breconshire some time since, rarely exercised the office of a magistrate. Neither the judicial role nor the small disputes of local authorities appealed to him, and though, had he lived, he might have been persuaded to seek election for the County Council, it is certain that nothing but a strong sense of duty would have impelled him to that course. The funeral will take place at St. Peter's Church, Glasbury, on Friday, at 2.30 p.m., and we understand that flowers may be sent to the church. Spouse: Hélène Adeline Blanche CHAPMAN.

Best finish 1st (1930) Class wins 1 (1930) George Pearson Glen Kidston (23 January 1899 – 5 May 1931) was an English record-breaking aviator and motor racing driver. Kidston was a member of the well known Bentley Boys of the late 1920s, and possibly the wealthiest of that already wealthy set. His father, A.G. Kidston, was a grandson of the original A.G. Kidston who was a metal and machinery merchant in Glasgow with interests in the Clyde Shipping Company, local solicitors, accountants and banking interests amalgamated into the Clydesdale Bank. Andrew Bonar Law MP was a Kidston, by his mother, and Chancellor of the Exchequer during World War I, being briefly Tory Prime Minister in the year of his death 1923 ("The Forgotten Prime Minister, the life and times of Andrew Bonar Law, 1858-1923"). Kidston was one of the four, core Grosvenor Square-based Bentley team drivers, whose day-long parties passed into contemporary legend. A former Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Navy, he was torpedoed twice (in the consecutive sinkings of HMS Aboukir and Hogue) in the same morning during the action of 22 September 1914 against German submarine U-9 under the command of Commander Otto Weddigen as the fleet manoeuvred. Following repatriation he served in the dreadnought HMS Orion, with the British Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland, running gunnery orders on open deck under direct enemy fire. Kidston grasped submarine tactics and served on several leading-edge British submarines, including the notorious X1, which he served on (Source: Family) in North Sea trials. During the trials the X1 embedded itself in the seabed as its gauges were faulty, but was freed after a dangerous period on the sea bed. In December 1926 he received command of the H-class submarine, the Beardmore-built H24, built at Portsmouth. Away from his duties as a submariner, he was an early pioneer of naval flight. Glen Kidston competed in numerous motor races including prestigious events such as the Monte Carlo Rally, Isle of Man TT motorcycle races, and Shelsley Walsh hillclimb. As a naval amateur he raced a Sunbeam motorcycle up the hill climb in Hong Kong and conducted speed trials on the sands, bringing the bike with him in his submarine which was patrolling the China Station. Kidston entered the 1929 Irish Grand Prix Éireann Cup at Phoenix Park but was narrowly beaten by the Alfa Romeo of former Russian Imperial Guard officer Boris Ivanowski. This was achieved at the expense of Britons Glen Kidston and Henry Birkin, whose Bentleys were second and third respectively. He also owned and raced the first Bugatti in the UK and entered the Le Mans 24 hour race in 1929 and 1930. On the second occasion he won the race, driving a Bentley Speed Six in partnership with Woolf Barnato, with the Bentley team delivering an epic 1-2-3-4 victory. In 1929 Kidston was travelling from Croydon to Amsterdam in a German airliner. 21 mins into the flight he sensed an imminent crash and assumed the safety position, likewise assisting his fellow traveller Prince Eugen von Schaumberg-Lippe. On impact, Kidston kicked out the fuselage whilst alight all over and doused himself in the wet grass. He re-entered the burning wreck to save the badly burned Prince who subsequently died; the flames prevented him assisting others. Kidston fought through a mile of wood at night to summon help. As he flagged a motorist down, his clothes were still smoking. He rang the details to Croydon Airport personally before flying for a brief flight to rebuild his nerve. He was then hospitalised with extensive burns. Kidston was the sole survivor. Kidston was a renowned big game shot and travelled on pioneering safaris in remote Kenyan districts. Films of these expeditions, of his early naval and other aviation and Bentley team work are held at the British Film Institute due to their quality and pioneering footage. In April 1931, Glen Kidston completed a record breaking flight from Netheravon to Cape Town, South Africa. He completed the journey in just 6½ days, flying his own specially adapted Lockheed Vega monoplane and averaging 131 mph. However, Kidston was never to make the return trip. After earlier near misses in aeroplane, motorcycle, speed boat and even submarine accidents, Kidston was killed, only a year after his Le Mans triumph when his borrowed de Havilland Puss Moth broke up in mid-air while flying through a dust storm over the Drakensberg mountains. A memorial to him stands to this day at the place where his aircraft crashed, being an aluminium propellor set in stone to warn passing aviators. His gravestone at St. Peter's in Glasbury-upon-Wye on the Welsh borders, his childhood home, reads "Time and tide wait for no man", with a sun dial. News of Kidston's death broke in the London evening papers and both Margaret Whigham, later Duchess of Argyll, and Barbara Cartland, both amongst Kidston's lovers, claim in their memoirs to have fainted on leaving the theatre and seeing the headlines. Cartland named her first son Glen in his memory. The Hollywood femme fatale Pola Negri is also reputed to have known Kidston. Spouse: Nancy Miriel Denise "Nancie" SOAMES.
