He Watches Bubbles.Sir Alan P. Herbert M.P. and playwright, of Chiswick, London, in short grey flannels and a loose blue shirt, sat in his garden and stared at a bubble. The bubble was inside his bubble sextant ant instrument normally used in an aircraft to observe the stars and thus determine the position of the plane. Sir Alan has been troubled lately with the noise of aeroplanes passing over his home in Hammersmith with the Air Minister on the year he had some correspondence with the Air Minister on the subject of heights at which the planes were flying over the district. So he has been spending some of his time lately sitting in the garden using a bubble sextant - and noting the heights of the planes. September 14, 1949. (Photo by Daily Mirror).
