Eric Lubbock RIIP (Part 5): St8 B8

continuing on, note the following excerpt from Eric Lubbock's wiki page:

• He served as a Lieutenant in the Welsh Guards and joined Rolls-Royce in 1951. 

Roll-Royce has cropped up in recent posts that focus on "Aeroplanes", note the titles:

• Ray Colcord RIIP (Part 7 ): Avro Arrow, Not A-E-R-...

• Ray Colcord RIIP (Part 6 ): A-E-R-O

• Ray Colcord RIIP (Part 5): Aero. vs Arrow

• Ray Colcord RIIP (Part 4): Concorde, Working Girl,...

• Ray Colcord RIIP (Part 3): Bullseye Lies Man

• Ray Colcord RIIP (Part 1): A-E-R-O

Note from the Rolls-Royce pattern-cluster:

• Charles Stewart Rolls (27 August 1877 – 12 July 1910)
• Sir Frederick Henry Royce, 1st Baronet (27 March 1863 – 22 April 1933) 

Their birthdays stand out given the following excerpts from my last two posts:

• Severinus Desiré Emanuels (27 February 1910 – 27 August 1981)
• Humphrey Frank Owen (27 September 1905 – 23 January 1979)
• Sir John Norton-Griffiths(13 July 1871 – 27 September 1930)

So we have a "__, February 27, March 27, __, __, __, __, August 27, September 27(x2), __, __, __/ 27th Day of Month" pattern-cluster.  And a "July 12, 13, __/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.

Note this next excerpt from the Rolls-Royce wiki page:

Key people	Claude Johnson Ernest Hives

•  Claude Goodman Johnson (24 October 1864 – 12 April 1926)
• Ernest Walter Hives, 1st Baron Hives (21 April 1886 - 24 April 1965)

We now have an "April 21, 22, __, 24/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.
Note this next excerpt from the Rolls-Royce wiki page:

• the Royal Aircraft Factory asked Rolls-Royce to design a new 200 hp (150 kW) engine. Despite initial reluctance they agreed, and during 1915 developed the company's first aero engine, the twelve-cylinder Eagle.  

Note from the Eagle's wiki page:

• it was used to power the Handley Page Type O bombers 

Note from the Handley Page wiki page:

• The design of the series of aircraft began shortly after the outbreak of the First World War as a result of meetings between theRoyal Navy's Director of the Air Department, Captain Murray Sueter and Frederick Handley Page.

Note from Frederick Handley Page's wiki page:

• Sir Frederick Handley Page (15 November 1885 – 21 April 1962) 

Note this next excerpt:

• The Eagle was the first engine to make a non-stop trans-Atlantic crossingby aeroplane when two Eagles powered the converted Vickers Vimybomber on the Transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown in June 1919 

Note from Alcock and Brown's wiki page:

• John William Alcock (5 November 1892 – 18 December 1919) 
• Arthur Whitten Brown (23 July 1886–4 October 1948)

Alcock's date of death is an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster given that December 18 is my older sisters birthday.  Brown's date of birth is an addition to the "Targeting Family Deaths"pattern-cluster given that July 23rd is the day my mother passed away last year.    The birthday of Alcock and Brown generates an "October 4, November 5, ____/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster... and a "December 6" gap that needs investigating.

Note this next excerpt from Rolls-Royce wiki page:

• The new company had among its board members Lord Cole (a former chairman of Unilever), Sir Arnold Weinstock (managing director of GEC), Hugh Conway (managing director RR Gas Turbines), Dr Stanley Hooker (RR Bristol)

Note from their wiki pages:

• Arnold Weinstock, Baron Weinstock (29 July 1924 – 23 July 2002) 
• Sir Stanley George Hooker (30 September 1907 – 24 May 1984)

With the focus being on surnames note the "ock" ending re Lubbock and  Weinstock.  And note the

 cryptic phrase within re "lubber b8" and "we in st8 of shock" : in other words  "Lubber

bait, we in state of shock".   And if you don't know what "lubber" means, check out the

etymology:

• lubber (n.) ..."big, clumsy, stupid fellow who lives in idleness"...
