MESSAGES

NICHOLAS & WILLIAM LEADBETTER.. My grandfather and his two brothers were stokers on Ark Royal during WW2. I have always thought they were killed when Ark Royal was torpedoed, but all the books state that only one rating was lost. Can anyone help? 

RAYMOND HUGH HOLMES.. I am looking for information about my father, Raymond Holmes. He served on Ark Royal in WW2, was possibly born in Kings Lynn, England and would now be in his 80's. He divorced my mother in the 50's. 

PHILIP DOUGLAS LEE REASON.. Philip joined up in 1932 and was in the Spanish Civil War prior to serving as a rear-gunner in the fleet air arm. He was on board Ark Royal when she was torpedoed in 1941. He served with 812 Sqn and was grounded in 1942. He flew aboard the 'stringbags' - swordfish & apparently was awarded the B.E.M & DSM among other though these were sold. Any information gratefully received. 

PERCY (PERCIVAL) SHEEN... I am trying to find information on my uncle Percy who was a Royal Marine on HMS Ark Royal and HMS Eagle. I understand he was buried in Malta c.1930-35.

DOUGLAS G ANDREOLI... My father Douglas was aboard the Ark Royal when she was sunk. He was picked up out of the water and taken to Gibraltar and then back to England on Audacity which was also torpedoed and sunk.

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.
