The Royal Albert Bridge - Saltash by Chris Holland No text for this item |
A Time for Heroes by Robert Taylor Royal Air Force and Royal Navy fighter aircrews flew combat throughout the six long years of World War Two. At the outbreak of war in 1939 four RAF Hurricane squadrons and two equipped with Gladiators went immediately to France where in short time New Zealander Cobber Kain became the first Allied Ace of the war. In April 1940 Hurricanes and Gladiators saw in action in Norway, when Rhodesian Caesar Hull of 263 Squadron became the second air Ace. By the fall of France the new Spitfire joined in the great air battles over the Channel as the British Expeditionary Force evacuated Dunkirk. Bob Stanford -Tuck, Douglas Bader, Peter Townsend, Sailor Malan, and many other great Aces gained their first victories, but with German forces massing on the French coast, the invasion of Britain looked imminent. Only RAF Fighter Command stood in Hitlers way. By July, the most famous of all air battles had begun. The next three months, under glorious summer skies, saw the most decisive and continual aerial fighting in history. The British victory in the Battle of Britain was to fundamentally change the course of the war and, ultimately, the course of history. But there were four and a half more years of air battles still to be fought and won -from the English Channel Front to the North African desert, from the Mediterranean to Far East Asia. It fell to Fleet Air Arm pilots to see the last air fighting for British and Commonwealth pilots, by then equipped with Seafires and American Corsairs and Hellcats, as they took part in the final assaults on the Japanese mainland. As the last embers of hostilities faded into history the centuries old doctrine of maritime supremacy had gone. Now the aircraft ruled. In his masterful painting A Time For Heroes Robert Taylor pays tribute to the World War II fighter aircrews of the RAF and Fleet Air Arm. A panoramic scene from the era of the Battle of Britain shows Mk I Spitfires of 234 Squadron, 10 Groups top scoring squadron, returning to St. Eval after intercepting heavy raids on south coast ports during the heaviest fighting, in September 1940. St. Michaels Mount, the castle built on the site of a 14th Century monastery to defend Britains shores from earlier enemies, provides a symbolic backdrop as once again a band of brothers is called upon to defend their Sceptred Isle. Sadly, since the passing of Mahinder Pujji in September 2010, all of the great pilots who signed any of the editions of this print have now passed away. |

The Corkscrew by Robert Tomlin. The highlight of the annual Fowey Royal Regatta is undoubtedly the performance of the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team The Red Arrows. Each year the crowds flock to this historic Cornish seaside port to see the spectacular display. There are frequent visitors to the port of Fowey and as part of the 2005 celebrations the RFA Sir Galahad anchored in the river estuary. It provided a memorable backdrop fro the Reds seen here performing their 'Corkscrew' manoeuvre over this famous ship with the unmistakable landmarks of Fowey in the background. It is August 2005 and during another memorable evening, the Red Arrows displayed over the beautiful Fowey estuary in Cornwall, England, and the famous replica of RFA Sir Galahad which had moored during the Fowey Royal Regatta Week. The gypo part of the team perform an extremely difficult manoeuvre rolling around the smoke trails of a pair who fly together, one inverted above the other leaving a blaze of colour across the early evening sky. Many will remember the original Sir Galahad which was destroyed during the Falklands war in 1982 with the loss of many lives, and the appalling injuries suffered by Simon Weston who escaped barely alive from the carnage. He now forms part of a charity, Weston Spirit, which aims to help young people in inner cities. The new Sir Galahad is part of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and is 140.6m in length, with a breadth of 19.5m. She has a speed of 17 knots, with a complement of 49. She has one spot for a Sea King on the flight deck and on the vehicle deck, one spot for a Sea King, Lynx or Chinook. |

Fowey With Love by Robert Tomlin. The Royal Air Forces premier display team, the Red Arrows, performs dozens of displays in the UK and worldwide during a typical season and some display areas have more challenges and attractions for the team than perhaps others. One of the favourite venues is the little town of Fowey on the south coast of Cornwall, England, where the team demonstrate with awesome ability their skills and flying abilities. Amongst the best-loved of the manoeuvres is the Heart shape and this picture shows the Synchro pair scribing the heart in the sky at the end of the Fowey estuary, with the famous tug boat watching in the early evening sunshine. |
Spitfires Over St Michaels Mount by Robert Taylor. Robert has chosen to show a Spitfire in the Battle of Britain colours of No 41 Squadron for his romantic portrayal of a Spitfire over St Michaels Mount, just off the coast of Cornwall - where the southwest corner of the British Isles meets the mighty Atlantic. This famous and historic landmark dating back to the Iron Age is steeped in folklore and legend. The castle of St Michaels Mount, perched atop a great granite rock that rises majestically out of the sea in Mounts Bay, for centuries made a tempting site for fighting forces. Here Robert cleverly uses this historic fort to provide a symbolic backdrop to a wonderful study of one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built. |
