Lawrence and the Sydney Smiths:

Photographs from The Golden Reign

After returning from India in 1929, Lawrence was posted to RAF Cattewater near Plymouth. He had met Sydney Smith, his new commanding officer, at the Cairo Conference in 1921.

As Sydney Smith's clerk, Lawrence helped to organise the Schneider Trophy air race in 1929. Afterwards, Lawrence and Smith were given a motor-launch, which they called the Biscuit.

The pictures in this section were first published in The Golden Reign, Clare Sydney Smith's account of their friendship..
