Reginald Charles & Anne Jordan

Group Captain Reginald Charles Jordan and Anne lived at Chippins during WW2. He served from 1941 to his death in Malta in 1943.

In 2013 Geoffrey Jordan (son) wrote "I enclose three photos taken when we lived there in WW2. They show the house and my mother (the tallest of the three) with two neighbours, Mrs Guest and Mrs Cannon (wife of Group Caotain 'Bill' Cannon who lived in the identical house the other side of what was the Police Station. I had a tree house in the big chestnut tree there (now long gone). The other is of my father Group Captain (Tiny) Jordan, who was killed in Malta in 1943. I think we were the first owners of the house, one of four identical houses built by HJ & A Wright of Great Missenden, bought so I understand for £400. Mother and I left in 1945/6 and sold it to Group Captain Donald Finlay, who was an Olympic 110yds hurdler in 1946 and later C/O RAF Halton. My father and he were great friends and hurdled together for the RAF and in the AAA campionships."
