Desert Gazelle by David Pentland Gazelle of Army Air Corps 661 Squadron on a reconnaissance mission
for British 7th Armoured Division during Operation Desert Storm.
Chinook Over The Sperrins by David Pentland Boeing Chinook of No.7 Squadron (detachment) from RAF
Aldergrove,
flying on supply duty in the west of the province.
Gazelle Over Salisbury
Plain by Michael Rondot. Fast and
manoeuvrable, the Gazelle has proved itself as one of the worlds best
light battlefield helicopters. Since its introduction into the Army Air
Corps in 1973, Gazelles have been used in every major conflict involving
British Forces from the Falklands to the Gulf Wars. Used
extensively on anti-terrorist observation and troop support operations
in Northern Ireland, Gazelles have also been heavily committed to NATO
operations in Bosnia.
Desert Scorpions by Michael Rondot The great land offensive by the 1st British Armoured Division during
the Gulf War was only made possible by the outstanding levels of logistic
support achieved by units of the Royal Corps of Transport, Royal Army
Ordnance Corps and the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers. Desert
Scorpions marks their exceptional role in Operation Granby and Operation
Desert Storm. dominating the foreground of this painting of a typical
resupply operation in the field are a Leyland DAF DROPS vehicle from 12
squadron, Royal Corps of Transport, and a Multiple Launch Rocket System
from 39 Heavy Regiment, Royal Artillery.
Gun Lift at Mrkonjic Grad by David Rowlands Personnel from the Joint Helicopter Support Unit controlling a 105mm
Light Gun lift, with Boeing HC2 Chinook helicopters of the Royal Air
Force, as part of the Implementation Force in the former Republic of
Yugoslavia.
Dust
Off by
Robert Tomlin Somewhere in the desert, a chinook lifts off in the
midst of swirling sand. Bob paints from experience here, having
witnessed just such scenes during his time with the RAF. But this
could be equally relevant today.
Fill Up at
Kiseljak by
Robert Tomlin Throughout the crisis in Bosnia helicopters of various nations provided
logistic support to the ground forces, especially in the times when
movement along dangerous roads was impossible. Here Puma Helicopters
of the French detachment drop into a forward base to refuel before going
on to their final destination. These Pumas operated out of their
base in Split, Croatia, together with British and Norwegian helicopters;
indeed it was common to see aircraft of several nations operating
together. As the first machine UN 128, serial number 1128, comes
into land at the forward refuelling base at Kiseljak, only 20km west of
Sarajevo, a second, the radar equipped UN 126, serial number 1662 turns on
to finals. The machines will be re-supplied in this instance by
British Ground Forces, two of whom crouch against the billowing dust ready
to go into action to minimise time on the ground
Wessex Over The Copelands by David Pentland

| Wessex Over South
Armagh by Michael Rondot For 33 years, the Wessex has been at the
centre of RAF operations in Northern Ireland. As a reliable workhorse the
Wessex has no equal, but after 31st March 2002 the "Mighty
Wessex" will be retired from frontline operations. No. 72 Squadron
received its first Wessex in 1964 at RAF Odiham and deployed to Northern
Ireland on 15th August 1969 when Air Marshal Sir Tim Jenner (then a junior
pilot) landed the first Wessex at the start of the current Troubles. Since
then, the Wessex has been employed on all major security operations as
well as day-to-day troop carrying and re-supply tasks. It enjoys a unique
reputation as a tough and reliable foundry-built aircraft and will be
sorely missed by the aircrew who regard it as an indestructible evergreen.
To commemorate the retirement of the Mighty Wessex, Michael Rondot
has painted in his Classic Combat Aircraft series a striking image of a pair
of gun-armed Wessex over a scene of an incident in the border area of
South Armagh "Bandit Country".
Air Chief Marshal Sir John Day KCB OBE ADC: John Day was a student pilot at RAF Syerston in 1968 two courses
behind the artist and since then has raced up the RAF promotion ladder. He
began his flying career on Wessex helicopters in 1969, joining No 72
Squadron at RAF Odiham. Then, after 2 tour as a flying instructor he
returned to the Wessex with No 18 Squadron at RAF Gutersloh. He commanded
No 72 Squadron at RAF Aldegrove in 1983 and was Air Officer Commanding No
1 Group, during which time he flew all of the helicopter types in RAF
service and most of the fast jet types, including qualifying as a Jaguar
single-seat pilot. In 2001 he was appointed Commander-in-Chief Strike
Command and continues to fly regularly in many types of fixed-wing
aircraft and helicopters, retaining a special affection for the Wessex.

Ivan Berryman - Battle of Britain Art
Artist Ivan Berryman has been producing many pencil drawings depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. Each of these is signed by one of the pilots who was actually present at the battle, and is often inspired by the events they took part in themselves. Special signed print editions have also been created from existing full colour print editions, with some featuring multiple pilot signatures. You can find all of Ivan's Battle of Britain artwork on his website - www.ivanberryman.com, or see a full list of pencil drawings - updated regularly, in our dedicated section of pencil drawings.
When you go to a product page for an item in our shop, click on the names of the pilots where they are linked in the text for an item to see a profile page for that pilot. Often we include photos of signing sessions along with details of their flying career, and a full list of all items signed by the pilot. |
| | Pilot Signed Battle of Britain Prints and Original Pencil Drawings |
Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain
We are busy building up a portfolio of many many original pencil drawings which depict events from the Battle of Britain, the famous air battle won by 'the Few' in the summer of 1940. The British and Commonwealth pilots defended the air above Britain and the surrounding seaways from the might of the German Luftwaffe. Greatly outnumbered, the bravery of these young pilots saved the country from invasion, and let Britain survive to go on to defeat Germany. Without that first crucial victory, the outcome of the war could have been so very different. We have been busy arranging signing sessions with the few pilots who fought in that great battle who remain with us to this day. Our newly commissioned pencil drawings are often based on the descriptions of the battle by these great men, and are authenticated by their signatures. We have also had several editions of existing prints signed in full, or have signatures added to parts of existing editions. We have also incoporated signatures of some of the German pilots who also took part in the battle, some of whom went on to become top scoring aces of the war. See our Original Pencil Drawings Section - particularly the section of artists David Pentland and Ivan Berryman. Also, see our New Signature Editions section to see all of our newly signed editions.
