Aston Martin RHAM/1.
The Aston Martin RHAM/1 was a highly modified Aston Martin DBS V8 racing car, developed by Robin Hamilton, built with the intention of racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. After development by Hamilton, RHAM/1 competed in the 1977 and 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing 17th overall and 3rd in the GTP class in the 1977 race. The car has also held the World Land Speed Record, for towing a caravan, at the speed of 124.91 mph.

After completing his apprenticeship with Rolls Royce in Derby, Robin Hamilton set up Robin Hamilton Motors in Tutbry with David Jack. At Robin Hamilton Motors they specialised solely in Aston Martins. Hamilton gained large experience with Aston Martin DBS V8's and AM V8's while at the specialist. Hamilton's DBS V8 (DBSV8/10038/RC) was only the second ever production Aston Martin V8 to take to the track. Competing on 6 April 1974, with the first raced V8 being a DBS V8 in 1970 at the AMOC Curborough Sprint.

With Hamilton's experience DBSV8/10038/RC was developed and developed and after large modifications to the car over the three years of 1974 to 1977, the car became unrecognisable and the original chassis number of DBSV8/10038/RC, was changed to RHAM/1 (Robin Hamilton Aston Martin #1). Which was the car that would finally fulfil Hamilton's intentions of racing at Le Mans.

Aston Martin RHAM/1. 1974
In 1974, Staffordshire based Aston Martin specialist, Robin Hamilton began competing a lightly modified 1969 DBS V8 (DBS/10038/RC) in Aston Martin Owners Club events. The first major alterations that were made to 10038/RC were made to make the car conform to Group 4 regulations and bring the car into line with the then current production AM V8 by fitting the latter's single headlight AM V8 front end.

With Le Mans the eventual target, the car was further developed to incorporate modified cylinder heads, revised camshafts, side-draft Weber carburettors and a race exhaust system, while the suspension and brakes were also upgraded, with stiffer and shorter springs, larger brakes, wider wheels and racing slick tyres. In this form DBSV8/10038/RC raced in AMOC events throughout 1975, competing up until September 1975. The car showed promise, proving to be a match for former Le Mans cars at the AMOC Silverstone meeting in July by finishing 3rd. Later that year, the car gained a quartet of dragster-style downdraft Weber carburettors, which were the height of half the windscreen for the 1976 season.

The DBS V8 appeared at the Jaguar Drivers Club meeting in April 1976 as after it had undergone wind tunnel testing at MIRA (through backing from Aston Martin). The car's power output had not been tested on a dynamometer, nor a rolling road, with the only testing being held on a straight stretch of of local public road.

Aston Martin RHAM/1. 1976
The car only completed half of the events in 1976 due to the preparation for the scheduled Le Mans appearance. Robin Hamilton hoped to race at the 1976 Le Mans race, even preparing a sponsorship brochure, seeking financial support. With the brochure saying: "The Aston Martin will run in Group 4, and although it is unlikely to finish 1st overall, stands an excellent chance of winning this Group, which would carry almost as much prestige as winning the race overall." In the personnel list, famous Aston Martin team manager John Wyer was listed as project consultant and Willie Green as second driver, with the third driver to be announced.

Fred Hartley, an interim managing director at Aston Martin in 1976, had promised assistance to Hamilton, via a letter to him. But neither this financial assistance, nor a sponsor was found and the car did not go to the 1976 Le Mans race but this was probably a good omen, as according to Hamilton, "Actually it was just as well, because I don't think we would have been ready for it."

In November/December 1976, Hamilton was allowed 2 weeks of testing on the engine test-bed facilities at Aston Martin's Newport Pagnell factory . With liaison from Dave Morgan (experienced with Lola-Astons of the 1960s and later the Aston Martin Nimrod V8's), there was small development with the engine and "suggestions about carburettors and bell-mouths."

Robin Hamilton went back to the Aston Martin Factory for financial backing (£20,000) for the project, suggesting an idea, for production of a powerful 380- limited edition Aston Martin V8. His idea being to increase the sale price by £1000, this £1000 funding his project. Aston Martin dismissed the idea, even though Hamilton had made drawings of the proposed car. In 1977 Aston Martin went on to introduce the V8 Vantage, similar to Hamiltons idea, but only coincidental.

Robin Hamilton got assistance from Mike Loasby, who paid for a wind tunnel test session, in which they made the spoiler and other pieces to make the Vantage. The car saw a 10% reduction in drag and increased downforce bodywork. The car now almost had the same body shape as the Vantage. All efforts were then put into making the 1976 24 Hours of Le Mans and a sponsor would eventually be found.

Robin Hamilton again released a sponsorship brochure for 1977, but again failed to get any large sponsorship backing. But Hamilton did gain a small sponsorship deal from SAS in London, a company who specialised in riot and security equipment. Hamilton received £25,000, which covered most of his costs for Le Mans.

Aston Martin RHAM/1. 1977 Le Mans 24 Hour
The V8 engine of the car, had now been fitted with Nimonic steel valves, special forged Cosworth pistons and a redesigned sump. The engine would now produce at 6,750 rpm and 381 bhp at the wheels. Plus over 400 ft·lbf of torque at 5,250 rpm with Weber 50 IDA downdraught carburettors. The car by this stage was now a Group 5 car rather than a Group 4, which would mean it would have to race against the turbocharged Porsches. Another wind tunnel test showed that the car would have dangerous amounts of lift on the Mulsanne Straight, so another change had to be made, and a rear tail spoiler needed to be fitted. The wind tunnel test also showed that the radiator, (now moved to the back to change the weight bias), would gain then 10 mph more in top speed, but it would cause the engine to run too hot, so it had to be moved back to its original location. Four oil coolers also ensured that the engine temperature never exceeded 110 °C.

The car also had other modifications made to it, with a redesign of the front bulkhead and mostly drilled box section included in the chassis modifications. RHAM/1 also had roller bearing drive shafts and peg-drive centre lock hubs for the one piece custom made BBS magnesium wheels. The wheels measured 19" in diameter, 15" wide at the rear, and 13" wide at the front and had special, custom made Dunlop tyres for them. The wheels themselves needed to be bigger than 16" to go over the twin caliper, 12½" Lockheed, ventilated disc brakes, with no servo assistance. All of which was needed to stop the 30 cwt Aston Martin. The alternator was switched to run off the gearbox (which itself had a closer ratio 5th gear) instead of the engine crankshaft. The clutch was now uprated to a triple plate. The suspension was almost standard, with standard rubber bushes but with slight geometry changes. Nylon mountings were also used for a reduced width Dion tube. The roll cage was a NASCAR (instead of FIA) specification cage, which was bolted to the chassis. This alone weighed 50 kg.

Aston Martin RHAM/1. 1977 Le Mans 24 Hour
The car by then became known as RHAM/1 (its chassis number, Robin Hamilton Aston Martin #1) as it was unrecognisable from the original car. RHAM/1 made its debut at the Silverstone Six Hours a pre event to the Le Mans race, on 15 May 1977. By this time Hamilton had gained some financial input from several AMOC members, whose names appeared on the rear wing for the race. At the Six Hour race, Hamilton drove alongside fellow AMOC member David Preece. In practice Preece spun off, but not a lot of damage was caused to the car. RHAM/1 qualified on the eight row, in 1 minute 43.39 seconds. During the race, Le Mans gearing ratios and a rev limiter of 6,000 rpm meant the car lost over 100 bhp. At a pit stop, heat soak from the in board rear brakes caused the differential oil seal to fail and 55 minutes were lost in the stop. Due to the regulations saying that they could not change the unit, they had to repair it. In order to save more complications, and to finish the race, the car raced on at a much slower pace. Hamilton and Preece did finish, but they failed to reach the final standings due to insufficient laps completed.

RHAM/1 competed in its first 24 Hour event when it raced at the 1977 Le Mans 24 hour race. With drivers David Preece, Mike Salmon (a Le Mans veteran, Salmon had driven the last Aston to race at the Sarthe, Peter Sutcliffe's Aston Martin DP214, in 1964.) and Robin Hamilton himself. A request was made to move to the GTP category (from the competitive Group 5, where opposition was deemed less strong. This request was granted by the organisers.

The first practice was a wet session, and all drivers came accustomed to the wet conditions. With RHAM/1 putting in respectable lap times, being assisted by good tyre grip with the aid of huge 1516 kg weight of the car (heaviest by 5½ cwt). The fastest time would have put them in the middle of the grid. In the next practice session the car ran with both radiator ducts open, which aided cooling down to 85 °C, but gave the effect which was likened to losing a cylinder on the Mulsanne Straight, due to the increased drag. In the last hours of qualifying, Hamilton had to put in quick laps in the dark, in order to make the cut for the race. Hamilton put in a best time of 4 minutes 31.8 seconds, With the V8 engine producing 520 bhp, RHAM/1 was recorded at 188 mph on the Mulsanne Straight during qualifying. Hamiltons time was well inside the 4 minutes 48 seconds maximum time, however this was the slowest in the GTP class. The organisers for the race, then decided to reduce the field to 55 cars, which meant losing the slowest car in each class, which would have meant RHAM/1 would have been dropped. But one of the other GTP class racers had broken the rules and were cut instead, to the relief of Hamilton who only found out 5 hours before the race.

In the race itself, the car started with a lower front spoiler to aid stability, but this lost the car 10 mph in top speed. Hamilton drove the opening stint, but came into the pits after 11 minutes with brake vibration, but this was down to the brakes bedding in. Hamilton's stint was followed by Preece and then Salmon, with the Aston picking up 23 places in 2 hours. The Aston's fuel efficiency was good, better than first thought after the Silverstone Six Hour race, but this could have been improved, as GTP rules allowed for a 160 litre fuel tank to be used compared to the Aston's installed 120 litre tank to meet Group 5 regulations. But this could not be changed before the race.

Aston Martin RHAM/1. 1977 Le Mans 24 Hour
At a routine stop at 10.19pm, cracks in the front brake discs were discovered. They were replaced in a pit stop lasting 31 minutes, but a lack of further spares meant that they had to reduce the use of the brakes and therefore use engine braking as much as possible for the remaining 17 hours and 41 minutes. Even so lap times remained constant. The only other serious problem encountered was a split differential oil tank that needed regular patching and topping up resulting in one 27 minute pit stop. A few more problems had to be dealt with before the end of the race, with a 2 minute stop having to be made to reset the lights on the car. Also the gear lever had to be replaced after Salmon broke it off and threw it out of the window during one of his stints. A marshal collected the gear knob and returned it to the garage, running all the way from his post.

Running steadily to the flag, the Aston Martin crossed the finish line after 2,210.78 miles (261 laps) of racing with Robin Hamilton, who had driven longest of the three drivers, at the wheel. RHAM/1 finished in 17th place overall (from 55 starters) and 3rd in class (GTP category), ironically, if it had stayed in Group 5 it would have finished 2nd in class. Pit stops totalled 3 hours and fuel consumption worked out at 5.75 mpg. With RHAM/1 using a maximum engine speed of 6,400 rpm, averaging 92.12 mph (including stops) or 104.70 mph (excluding stops). The fastest lap in the car was by Hamilton, recording 4 minutes 34.2 seconds (average speed of 112.25 mph). 18 of the 24 hours were driven with cracked front brake discs, the car was later given the name of 'Muncher' due to the rate that the car got through brake discs.

RHAM/1 next appeared at the Silverstone Six Hours in May 1979, considerably lightened and re-modeled with a lower roof line, steeply raked windscreen, huge front air dam and dropped bonnet line. While beneath the bonnet was a twin-turbocharged version of the Aston V8 engine with fuel injection in place of the Weber carburettors, reducing boost pressure to give maximum power output of in race specification. But this reduced fuel consumption to around 4 mpg. The brakes were enlarged again, to 13" all round and water cooling was developed to help cool them (to be used at Le Mans). 350 lb in weight was also removed, in non Le Mans trim (no extra lights or equipment).

In the race the car suffered trouble with brake fade and oil breathing problems, the car dropped down to 21st place after 1 hour 30 minutes, but back up to 17th after 3 hours. RHAM/1 finished 13th overall and 6th in class, after being hampered with more problems, of a blown tyre and small engine fire.

The car would again compete in the GTP class, weighing 1,546 kg it was again the heaviest in the class. Before the race the gearbox and engine were changed due to not being able to select first gear. During the race (with the same set of drivers as Silverstone that year) the V8 proved capable of lapping many seconds quicker than in 1977 (7.32 seconds). But the car suffered more problems, with an ongoing oil leak and then, after it had only competed 2 hours and 45 minutes (21 laps) of the race, a connecting rod broke due to a melted and holed piston.

Hampshire has always been a popular destination for immigrants, with the ports at Portsmouth and Southampton receiving immigrants from all over Europe and being the starting point for voyages to the New World. Southampton Docks rapidly expanded since their creation in 1850, and saw increasing traffic with South Africa, Australia and the Americas.

Immigration into Hampshire. Poles In Portsmouth
In 1834 a group of Polish immigrants came through the Portsmouth docks. The Poles who arrived in Portsmouth had previously been staying in Prussia seeking refuge from war when they were ordered back to Poland, but many Polish soldiers refused, and a lot of them were consequently killed. Prussia then received them back, but as labourers on public works along with criminals. They were then offered the choice of return to Poland or passage to America; the Poles chose America. Three ships left Prussia, one, the Elizabeth, stopping at Le Havre, another, the Union, stopping at Harwich, and the third, the Marianne, docking at Portsmouth due to prolonged bad weather. When the winds abated the Poles passively resisted their Prussian Captain's insistence of transportation to America as they preferred to remain in Europe, closer to Poland.

The people of Portsmouth and Portsea welcomed them immediately. Without encouragement from the authorities, the people of Portsmouth assisted and supported these exiles, army officers particularly treating the Polish refugees with kindness and propriety. One article states "Not the rich and great alone have contributed, but perhaps many a hard- earned shilling has been dropped into the subscription boxes by the artisan or labourer". Many in the town subscribed to support the Poles financially as well, including the body of liberal politicians in Portsmouth. Efforts were at once made to collect funds for the support of the poor foreigners.

Schools in Portsmouth made collections and held charity events to raise money for them. The non-commissioned officers of the 12th regiment contributed £7 and the 77th Depot gave £12, while a concert at the Green Row Rooms brought in £60. "The civil and moral character of the country was sustained by the reaction to the Poles’ arrival from the locals."

Immigration into Hampshire. Poles in Southampton
After the outbreak of the Springtime of the Nations in 1848 Poles actively supported many European revolutions of that time. A Polish Legion numbering some 2,000 soldiers served under Lajos Kossuth in the Hungarian insurrection. After its defeat Poles and Hungarians fled from Hungary, crossed the border into Turkey and became detained on its territory. The main place of their imprisonment was the citadel of Kutayah in central Turkey where a few hundred Poles and Hungarians, with their leader, Kossuth, were kept for over three years. Thanks to the diplomatic efforts of Viscount Palmerston these soldiers became finally released in 1851 and came to England on board many different ships (Sultan, Mississippi, Euxine). Different groups of refugees have arrived in ports of England between February and October of that year.

By 6 May only about 40 Hungarians remained in Turkey. According to the statistics of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland 464 Poles arrived in Great Britain in 1851 and over 200 left the country. At that time the general number of Polish refugees numbered about 800 people. The refugees from Turkey came to different English ports: Liverpool, Leeds and Southampton. Many of them decided to emigrate to US.

The Southampton City Council had to spend 1232 – 9 – 6 on those refugees. They were also supported by the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, which offered a donation of 8 – 5 – 0. There are also records stating that the group of 30 Poles who decided to stay in Southampton received an additional payment of 216 – 14 – 6 in August of that year.

General Bulcharyn and his fellow soldiers arrived in Southampton to find themselves in very miserable conditions. They went to London and sent a special letter to Sir George Grey, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary in which they presented their situation and "humbly begged to extend to them that protection which was granted to many of their fellow countrymen". In support of his petition, Bulcharyn provided the list of the soldiers and their servants, asking for a grant of £10 for each of them.

Most of the refugees who decided to stay in England could expect support only from private sources, as the Government was unwilling to extend its grants on the newcomers. As one of the British politicians stated in his letter to Prince Czartoryski "There is scarcely any sympathy remained for Poles." Although it was the view of political elites, it was shared by the common people. The final stage of these events was the departure of over 100 soldiers from Portsmouth after the outbreak of the Crimean War. These soldiers returned to Turkey to fight against Russia in the army of their former jailer. Many others left to America and the population of the Polish refugees in the 1850s steadily decreased.

Immigration into Hampshire. Russian Jews in Southampton
There was an increasing hostility towards the Jews since the partitions of Poland that led to outbreaks of pogroms across Russia. The first began in 1881 and spread throughout Southern Russia, lasting four years during which thousands of Jews were injured and their property burnt or destroyed. Further waves of pogroms occurred in 1903 and 1905. Faced with the terrors of the violent pogroms, many Jews opted to leave Russia. It is estimated around 2 million Jews left Russia during this period.

One famous Jewish family, the Rothschilds, did a lot of work to improve the Jewish situation in Russia, being very influential in areas such as education. They also helped those who were leaving Russia to escape the pogroms, by founding the ‘Emigrants Home’ Lodging House. The house was founded in 1894 along with John Doling, in Albert road, within easy reach of Southampton docks. The house was built on four floors and included a large kitchen, pantry, washrooms, drying and ironing rooms in the basement and then three floors containing sleeping quarters. The house officially opened in 1895.

Over 500,000 immigrants stayed in the UK for up to six months before moving onto America, with 4,000 leaving the docks every month to go to the new world. Whilst most only stayed in Southampton as a stopgap, 150,000 immigrants remained and settled throughout the UK, and many of them must have remained in Southampton.

Whilst the ‘Emigrants House’ was created mainly to cater for the Jews escaping the pogroms, they weren't the only community that left Russia at that time. Since the Polish Uprising in 1863, Russia had been distrustful of the different communities, and the pogroms were often used to cloak attacks on poles as well. Therefore, Poles may also have used the home. The ‘Emigrants Home’ became the Atlantic Hotel in 1908, and continued to house immigrants that came in from the docks.

Immigration into Hampshire. Immigrant areas in Southampton
At the beginning of the 20th century a new wave of immigrants settled in Southampton in what was known as the ditches. The ditches was an area of Southampton, along Canal Street, East Street and Main Street. Its relative proximity to the docks made it an ideal spot for immigrants arriving by sea and it quickly became a cosmopolitan area, known for it multicultural society.

Maie Hodgson was a child growing up in the ditches at the beginning of the 1900s. Her memoirs describe the ditches as having "a sort of fair-ground element" as a result of the immigrants that lived along the streets, remembering a fortune teller, Madame Conrad, who was from Ceylon. There were also Italian and Jewish communities in this area. She recalls one Italian immigrant family running an ice-cream shop and tea rooms called Donnarumma’s. The family spoke little English and had seven children.

Whilst the residents may have enjoyed its fair-ground atmosphere, others from Southampton considered it an area to be wary of, filled with bargain shops and rife with crime. At night the area was a prime place for prostitutes. Lewishon describes it as ‘a subculture straight out of a Dickens novel, the kind of street mothers forbade their children to visit.’ Whilst it is likely to be an over exaggeration such rumours gave the residents of Southampton a bad impression of the immigrant community.

Immigration into Hampshire. Immigrants in Atlantic Park
Atlantic Park was opened in the spring of 1922 on the site now known as Southampton Airport in Eastleigh. The park was formed as a way of bringing transmigrants together in one place in order to provide them with better conditions than those previously experienced in a number of boarding houses and to protect them from unscrupulous people who would attempt to prey on those arriving in a new country.

Although the aim of the park was to provide short term accommodation to transmigrants passing through Southampton changes in the US policies on quota restrictions meant that some immigrants were trapped at the park for longer periods, unable to carry on with their journey or return home to their country of origin due to the fear of persecution. Some of those affected remained in Southampton for the best part of half a decade.

One family who experienced the problems of quota restrictions were the Shlemowitz family. The four orphaned sisters and their brother arrived in Southampton from Ukraine. Following the revolution their father was forced into road building and beaten mercilessly until his death. The children witnessed their mother's rape and mutilation prior to her death from pneumonia. At this time it was decided that they should be sent to America to live with their uncle Jacob in New York. On arriving in England the children were sent to Atlantic Park where, as Liza, then aged 13 explained, their heads were shaved and they were sprayed with disinfecting water. Eventually, in December 1923 the children set off for America on board the Aquitania but were detained on Ellis Island for a period of 10 days before being deported back to England. The children returned to Atlantic Park where they remained for a period of about 10 months before their uncle Jacob arrived to collect them. Together they headed to South Africa where they would eventually settle.

For many, although far from luxurious, the experiences of Atlantic Park were not especially traumatic. Although in principle they were confined to the hostel, many freely interacted with the local community. The numbers of immigrants held at Atlantic Park slowly diminished from 1928 until its eventual closure in 1931.

Immigration into Hampshire. The Basque Children's Camp at Stoneham
During the Spanish Civil War the town of Guernica, in April 1937, was bombed by the Nazi Condor Legion and was subsequently destroyed. Due to the terror caused by the enemy air raids as well as concerns over the number of children who had been involved in the fighting, the decision was made to send children from the area to England in order to protect them from the reality of war.

The ship carried not just 3,820 children but also 80 teachers, 120 helpers, 15 Catholic priests and 2 doctors. When they arrived in Southampton they were sent in busloads to the camp in North Stoneham in Eastleigh.

The camp was set on a field which had been donated to the relief co-ordinators by a local farmer Mr. G.H. Brown. The camp was made up of 500 bell tents and a hundred or more marquees and also boasted its own cinema and hospital. The generosity of the farmer who donated the land reflects the willingness of the local people as a whole to help the children.

Volunteers from Eastleigh, Southampton and surrounding areas poured into North Stoneham camp and were largely responsible for its coming to life. Children were provided with food, new clothes, shoes and toys and many visitors to the camp with good intentions passed over sweets and chocolate and exchanged their money for Spanish notes and coins. The camp was believed to have cost £1500 a week during its height. Consideration was also given in that pilots were told not to fly over the camp because of the danger of panic among the children who had come to dread the sound of aeroplanes and ships in the harbour were told not to sound sirens as their noise was said to have resembled the air raid warnings.

The camp was not intended however to be a permanent home for the children and they were to be removed from North Stoneham and placed in various hostels throughout the country. Soon after arrival four hundred of the children were quickly moved on to Lower Clapton by luxury coaches to be cared for by the Salvation Army at Congress Hall (now part of the Clapton Girls' Academy). By June parties were leaving almost daily for homes and hostels arranged for them during their stay in England. By July, 2360 had already been drafted or were about to be drafted to homes in various parts of the country. It was in September that the camp was finally closed.

Cyril Parfitt. Biography
His fantasy sculptural pieces have been produced in clay and his moving sculptures use an assortment of bright and colourful 'odds and ends' he has salvaged and stored, truly 'green' pieces of work. He has always had an eye for the bright and glittering, the vivid and arresting and toyed with the idea of working with stained glass at one point in his career. He has appeared ITV's Magpie with his creations and his work has been sold in galleries both in the United Kingdom and throughout the world.

Cyril Parfitt. Biography
Now based on the Isle of Thanet where he has been for some time his technical 'feet' aren't as lively but his mind has lost none of its clarity and vision. Seldom seen without pencil and paper, even when confined to a hospital bed, he is always doodling and creating sketches of his own fantasy world. Particularly inspired by the ‘Turner’ skies here he has started to incorporate them into some of his work. He is delighted to see the Turner Contemporary Gallery taking shape and looks with interest to the artistic endeavours of the local area to assist the regeneration of this beautiful part of the country.

A few months later, in November 2008, the artist's heirs sold it at a Sotheby's auction for $60 million to the Nahmad family. In 2018 it was sold at a Christie's auction for $85.8 million with fees to art dealer Brett Gorvy. It was the highest price paid for a work in the history of Russian art.

Tamy Ben-Tor. Biography
Ben-Tor is one of a number of prominent female artists inventing characters and playing them herself, her work combines performance with photography and/or video. Included in this lineage of artists are Claude Cahun, Eleanor Antin, Martha Wilson and Cindy Sherman. Her themes draw on the social observation of daily life and gender roles, but dig with more risky commentary into issues relating to Jewishness and Israel, her country of origin where she graduated from the School of Visual Theatre. Graduating then from Columbia University's MFA Program in 2006, she lives and works in New York and shows with Zach Feuer Gallery.
