| Text for the above items : |
HMS Furious with HMS Revenge by Ivan Berryman (PC) Grand Harbour, Malta, April 1932. The R-Class battleship HMS Revenge slips majestically past the carrier HMS Furious as she lies at anchor as three of her Fairey IIIFs fly overhead on a routine training sortie. |
The Final Flight by Ivan Berryman. (PC) On 31st May 1954, Saunders-Roe's beautiful SR.45 Princess flying boat made her final flight, taking off from the Cowes Roads for a short test flight for radio checks and to investigate how the ten-engine giant responded to engine cuts. By all accounts, the tests passed without incident and this graceful machine returned to her slipway at the East Cowes works, never to take to the air again. Orders for this extraordinary aircraft failed to materialise and G-ALUN and her two sister airframes were eventually scrapped at Calshot. |
Tribute to Peter Wykeham-Barnes by Ivan Berryman. (PC) Lattely known as Air Marshal Sir Peter Guy Wykeham, KCB, DSO and Bar, OBE, DFC and Bar, AFC - he is shown here baling out of his stricken Gloster Gladiator of No.80 Sqn over North Africa on 4th August 1940. At the time he would have been known as Peter Wykeham-Barnes - a flying Ace who would go on to score 14 victories plus 3 shared in a wartime career which also saw him fly with No.274 Sqn and command No.73 Sqn, No.257 Sqn and No.23 Sqn. Remaining with the Royal Air Force after the war, he became a test pilot and served with the US Air Force in the Korean War before taking serveral roles in the RAF, culminating in Deputy Chief of Air Staff from 1967 until retirement in 1969. He died in 1995. |
HMS Temeraire Departing Plymouth by Ivan Berryman. (PC) One of the most iconic ships ever to serve in the Royal Navy, The three-decked second rate HMS Temeraire was built at Chatham in 1798 and spent many years blockading the French port of Brest before her finest hour at Trafalgar on 21st October 1805 when she came to the rescue of HMS Victory before capturing two prizes, the Redoutable and Fougueux, spending much of the battle with her captives lashed to her sides. After spending her final years first as a prison hulk, then as a guard ship in the Medway, she was finally sold for scrap in 1838, her last journey being the subject of JMW Turner's most famous painting. In this view, Temeraire is shown leaving Plymouth in her pre-Trafalgar state before receiving her 'crowned head' figurehead. |
Sqn Ldr Maurice Brown - No.41 Sqn by Ivan Berryman (PC) Spitfire EB-J of Sqn Ldr Maurice Brown at the height of the Battle of Britain. Additional colour added to enhance this previously black and white image |
Tribute to Gunther Seeger by Ivan Berryman. (PC) Scoring his first victory during the Battle of Britain with 3./JG2, Gunther Seeger served on the Channel Front until the end of 1942 before moving to the Mediterranean.

U-47 by Ivan Berryman. (PC) Under the command of Günther Prien, the deadly U-47 became the 10th most successful U-Boat of World War Two in terms of tonnage sunk. However, on 8th October 1939 she sank the British battleship HMS Royak Oak within Scapa Flow, the main British naval base of the war, despite the anti-submarine measures in place. The submarine was presumed lost with all hands when she failed to return from her 10th patrol in March 1941, although no definitive explanation for her loss exists. |
Operation Chastise - The Night They Broke the Dams by Ivan Berryman. (PC) Guy Gibsons Lancaster having unsuccessfully dropped its bomb, draws enemy fire from the aircraft of Sqn Ldr Young as his bomb explodes spectacularly on the Mohne Dam during the audacious Dams Raids of 16th/17th May 1943. |

A Spot of Gardening by Ivan Berryman. (PC) Wellington Mk.III X3671 of 156 Sqn piloted by P/O Fox is depicted laying mines in the Estuary of the Loire on the night of 16th April 1942 in the Bay of Biscay. Just three days later, P/O Fox failed to return from a similar 'Gardening' sortie whilst flying Wellington X3485. |
A Moment's Peace by Ivan Berryman. (PC) A de Havilland Mosquito patrols high above the clouds. This versatile all-wooden aircraft first flew on the 25th of November 1940. This aircraft was used in a wide variety of roles, including as a fighter-bomber and as a Pathfinder for bombers. |

Pictured here having escorted a convoy from the UK to Cape Town. The Malaya was decommissioned in 1944. Additional colour added to enhance this previously black and white image. |
AGO C.1 by Ivan Berryman. (PC) At the outbreak of World War 1, AGO Flugzeugwerke GmbH had not endeared itself to the architects of the German war machine due to the flimsiness of some of its designs, coupled with poor workmanship. When the C.1 first appeared in 1915, it attracted little interest and yet went on to prove itself to be a robust and useful aircraft, its pusher design dispensing with the now traditional open framework to support the tail in favour of twin streamlined tailbooms. The observer / gunner in the nose enjoyed an unrivalled field of view, although the engines position immediately behind the pilot was always a concern in the event of a crash. This aircraft, LF181, transferred from the Fliegertrouppe to the navy in 1915 and was based at Nieuwmunster, shown here in an exchange with an FE.2b in the skies over Belgium. |
The Best Fighting Unit in the LFT by Ivan Berryman (PC) During 1917 under the leadership of Hauptmann Godwin von Brumowski Flik 41J was to become recognized as the finest of all the Fliegerkompanie in the Austro-Hungarian Army Air Service. With the superb Albatros D.III (Oef), the Luftfahrtruppen (LFT) were equipped to take on the enemy on equal terms. |
Lucky Seven by Ivan Berryman. (PC) Another sortie completed, the crew of a Lancaster head for a well-earned cup of tea after a night raid over Germany in 1944. |
White-out at Breighton - Tribute to No.78 Squadron by Ivan Berryman. (PC) With the departure of No 1 Group in May 1943, No 4 Group's 78 Sqn Halifaxes arrived at Breighton in Yorkshire from where they would continue to operate until the end of the war. Halifax III LW291 (EY-M) is depicted snowbound in the Winter of 1944, not long before it was lost over Grossmutz whilst taking part on a raid on Berlin on 20th January 1944. Crew of EY-M : Pilot : Flight Sergeant F Moffat RCAF (killed), Navigator : Flying Officer W McGreggor RCAF (killed), Bomb Aimer : Flying Officer R Selman RCAF (killed), Wireless Operator : Flight Sergeant H H Bennett (taken prisoner), Flight Engineer : Sergeant N Legg (killed), Rear Gunner : Sergeant W Ruelhoff (killed, Mid-Upper Gunner : Sergeant J Stewart (killed). |
HMS Mantis by Ivan Berryman. (PC) An Insect class river gunboat, HMS Mantis took part in operations on the River Tigris in modern-day Iraq in World War One. A British Army advance up the Tigris in 1915 took the town of Kut-al-Amara, but this army of more than 10,000 men were besieged by the Turks here, eventually surrendering in April 1916. With other river gunboats, HMS Mantis had attempted to help break the siege from early March 1916, and remained on the River Tigris until again called upon to assist an expedition in early 1917. As part of a fleet of nearly 20 river gunboats, HMS Mantis helped the forces of Sir Stanley Maude recapture Kut-al-Amara on 24th February 1917. The ship had a long career, briefly serving in north Russia during their civil war in 1919 before serving in China during the 1920s. Still operational at the beginning of World War Two, HMS Mantis was eventually scrapped in 1940. |

Shell House Raiders by Ivan Berryman. (PC) Tucked in tight en route to Copenhagen, a wave of Mosquito FB VIs of 21 Sqn and their Mustang Mk.III escorts of 126 Sqn (including top Ace Agorastos John Plagis - 16 victories, on his last mission of the war) approach the Jutland Peninsula after a bumpy crossing of the North Sea on the morning of 21st March 1945. The Mosquitoes went on to carry out one of the most daring and successful raids of the Second World War on the German Gestapo headquarters in the centre of Copenhagen, inflicting irreparable damage to the Shellhus and killing more than 150 Gestapo personnel. |
