MESSAGES

DAVID McCASH.. Picture of David McCash when he served on HMS King George V. He also served on HMS Revenge.

ABLE SEAMAN JOHN BAKER... I wondered if anyone out there served on the King George V during the time she was in Tokyo Bay. My name is Able Seaman John Baker. It would be great to hear from anyone who remembers the goodwill visit march through Melbourne and taking the Duke of Gloucester and his family to Hobart. 

NORMAN FIELDHOUSE... My grandfather served on HMS King George V and took many photographs of the crew and ship which are still in the family. I am trying to find out if there is a crew list available for me to look at, so I can see exactly what he did while serving. Unfortunately, he died a few years ago, and I am now trying to find out as much as I can about life aboard the ship. 

AB RON GAZZANIGA:  My brother served on HMS King George V in the Pacific 1943 onwards. He passed away in 2001. Does anyone old shipmates remember him.  

THOMAS SCOTT:  My Grandad was a Royal marine who served on HMS Duke of York and HMS King George V in Oct / Nov 1941. I would love to hear from someone who may remember him.

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.
