Images were dangerous things to cultivate because most people could see through any artificiality of character is certainly trtie In the services and particularly true in the Royal Navy in which I spend a large part of my time in between he joked sailor will see through you every time unless you are genuine and honest with him Only then will you gain his respect and willingness to cary out orders Such is the subtle art of leadership Talking modestly about his ability to write and deliver his speech Prince The Prince said: views change and my outlook evolves as I grow older and I deeply resent being attributed with views I expressed as a younger and less wise man when I eventually grow older and hopefully The only times he had happened to look at magazine it had invariably contained some embarrassing articles about himself Most of them contained an share of intriguing Prince Charles added good-humouredly: now quite understand the problems you all have to face but Pm still not going to tell you WAS WIFE MURDER TARGET? Impatient MPs prod Benn over airbus Prince Charles during his mirth making speech channelled through existing institutions Mr much-talked about investment bank has attracted bitter opposition from the

announce an increase In family allowances and pensions are Move for historic cannon READERS may share my dismay at the removal from picturesque Llanddwyn Island of the old naval can- non which gave its name to Gun Cliff Most of the visitors went away without Seeing this abandoned piece of royal ordnance but for those who disobeyed the Nature injunction to keep to the paths the old gun was a source of much speculation There were popular legends that the gun was a relic of smuggling days when it would be used to repel the marauding Revenue cutter The truth is no less exciting for the IMon gun was hoisted into position in 1840 to enable the four Llanddwyn pilots to signal for assistance whenever they wished to launch the six-oar 18 cwt lifeboat This was the reason why the gun was aligned in the position in which it remained until Thursday pointing to the village of Newborough three miles away It first boomed across the bay on 18 October 1841 when the Liverpool ship Mountaineer returning from South America was seen to be rolling on the north Bank of Caernarvon Bar Daring rescue By anchoring the lifeboat and playing out cable until he was alongside the ship Coxwain Griffiths was able to rescue 17 people including the wife and three children of the master The only casualty was a young boy who took to the rigging where he was suffocated by the waves pounding against him Coxwain Griffiths was awarded the RNLI silver medal while Sir Llewelyn Turner was presented with the figurehead a six-foot high exquisitely carved model of a kilted Scotsman which stood in the hallway of his home at Parkia Caernavon well into this century By the end of the 19th century the Llanddwyn gun had been instrumental in the saving of 200 lives The lifeboat was withdrawn in 1907 but the gun' remained an authentic reminder of at least 33 dramatic rescues know nothing of its said an RAF spokesman on Thursday and presumably hence the reason why it was used in a helicopter weight lifting exercise with the Prince of Wales at the controls The historic old gun is now at RAF Station Valley to wbeFe it vras carried in a net slung beneath a helicopter being used as part of the naval pilots training of Prince Charles Yesterday a spokesman for the Prince of Wales Committee for the Conservation of the Welsh Environment said it was their intention to return the gun to after first placing it at a school still to be chosen for the children to make a new carriage I hope the lucky school can find timber to match the like of the original naval carriage and that they get on with the job as quickly as possible and even then this historic relic will have lost the charm of authenticity Full story Page Three Weather Liverpool Airport report for 24 hours ended 10 pm yesterday Maximum
