    Charles Stewart Henry Vane-Tempest-Stewart, 7th Marquess of Londonderry, KG, MVO, PC, PC (Ire) (13 May 1878 – 10 February 1949), styled Lord Stewart until 1884 and Viscount Castlereagh between 1884 and 1915, was an Anglo-Irish peer known for his political career in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and, later, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He is best remembered for his tenure as Secretary of State for Air in the 1930s and for his links with the Appeasement policy towards Nazi Germany.

    His grand daughter Lady Annabel Goldsmith (formerly Birley, née Vane-Tempest-Stewart; born 11 June 1934) is an English socialite and the eponym for a celebrated London nightclub of the late 20th century, Annabel's. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Annabel_Goldsmith

    After the 1935 General Election Baldwin took the oppotunity to sack him. The sense of hurt Londonderry felt at this, and of accusations that he had misled Baldwin about the strength Nazi Germany's air force, led him to seek to clear his reputation as a 'warmonger' by engaging in amateur diplomacy. This involved visits to senior Nazis in Germany, and briefings with government officials in London. His high profile promotion of 'Anglo-German' friendship, in the end, marked him with a far greater slur than that which had led him to engage in appeasement in the first place. After playing a marginal role in the overthrow of Neville Chamberlain in 1940, he failed to win any favour from his cousin, Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Without office he produced his memoirs, Wings of Destiny (1943), a relatively short book that was considerably censored by his former colleagues. state.chemistrydaily.com/chemistry/Charles_Vane-Tempest-S...

    Lord Londonderry also had an illegitimate daughter with actress Fannie Ward, named Dorothé Mabel Lewis. She first married, in 1918, a nephew of mining magnate Barney Barnato, Capt. Jack Barnato, who died of pneumonia shortly after their wedding. Her second husband, whom she married in 1922, was Terence Plunket, 6th Baron Plunket, and with him she had three sons: Patrick Plunket, 7th Baron Plunket, Robin Plunket, 8th Baron Plunket, and the Hon Shaun Plunket. Lord and Lady Plunket were killed in an airplane crash in California in 1938. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Vane-Tempest-Stewart,_7th_M...

    Having suffered a stroke after a gliding accident a few years after the end of the war, Lord Londonderry died on 10 February 1949 at Mount Stewart, County Down, aged 70. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Vane-Tempest-Stewart,_7th_M...

    Suck Diesel I'm not convinced. There are similarities, but Piaras Béaslaí was very distinctive looking...
