ABSTRACT
As a reward for all his hard and thoughtful work in shaping a squadron for active service, both in Norfolk and in Turkey, Tedder was granted a long rest in London. Trenchard sent him to study at the Royal Naval Staff College, Greenwich, in September 1923.1 The Tedders rented yet another house (modern and well appointed, for once) in Blackheath, within walking distance of the college. Throughout this blessed interlude he was able to wallow in that intensely private family life about which he had so often dreamed during most of the past decade. But, professionally, neither Trenchard nor Tedder got as much out of Greenwich as they had hoped.
