Cartoonist 'Steev' humorously captures the great spirit of the aircraft and crews of the Royal Navy and Fleet Air Arm.

Steev (aka aeroengineer extraordinaire Steve George) is a great supporter of Navy Wings (he now works as a volunteer in our hangar) and all things Fleet Air Arm. We are very grateful that he has allowed us to use his fantastic artwork and a proportion of the proceeds will go to a charity of which he is a Trustee, the Fleet Air Arm Memorial Church Trust, to facilitate their new memorial walkway.

Brush up on your nautical knowledge whilst drying the dishes!

This galley cloth (tea towel) displays the International Code of Signal Flags and their meanings, as well as the Morse code for each letter.

Taken from an original painting by Peter Hogan, this dramatic print shows a Fairey Swordfish MkII patrolling over an Atlantic convoy as it forges its way through a forbidding sea. Another Swordfish is about to fly over a tiny MAC ship. 

A MAC (Merchant Aircraft Carrier) ship was a converted merchant ship and many, as illustrated, didn't have an internal hangar so the technicians and aircraft were constantly exposed to the elements.

This painting clearly illustrates the tiny decks from which the aircraft had to operate - barely wider than the aircraft and very short!

Overall size 59.5cm x 42cm.

Supplied as print only. (Frame shown is purely for illustration purposes.)

A beautiful print showing the glorious curves of one of the most elegant aircraft to grace the skies. A perfect example of 'if it looks right, it'll fly right'.

Telegraphist Air Gunner – The Last Line of Defiance by artist CPO(A) Horace William ‘Nat’ Gold FAASFX412

This image, the brave TAG prepared to defend his aircraft and crew from, usually better equipped, all comers, is an embodiment of the 'Can do, will do' spirit that defines the Fleet Air Arm. 

Stationed in Malta between January 1941 and January 1942, Telegraphist Air Gunner ‘Nat’ Gold survived nearly 1000 air raids, some of which were taking place as his Fairey Swordfish Mk1 was landing or taking off.

Of his 35 flights from Hal-Far, 24 included torpedo attacks, dive bombing or mine laying while others were for reconnaissance and anti-submarine patrol.

Between May and November 1941, 830 Naval Air Squadron sank 110,000 tons of enemy shipping and damaged 130,000 more – a record unequalled by any other squadron. By the end of 1942, 830 and 828 Naval Air Squadrons had a combined tally of nearly 400,000 tons sunk or damaged.

Many torpedo attacks were carried out at night despite a lack of night flying instruments or even a torpedo sight.

‘Nat’ Gold was mentioned in despatches in 1942.

He subsequently became a gunnery instructor and served with 750 NAS in Trinidad until the end of the war

A 30mm training or 'ballast' round mounted on a solid wood plaque. These rounds, identical in size and weight to the real thing, were used in armourers drill to replicate the feel of the real thing when practicing arming an aircraft. They also enabled pilots to fly an aircraft weighted as if fully armed.

30mm cannon rounds were used in the Aden cannon that were a feature of almost every British cannon carrying aircraft from the Hawker Hunter until the Tornado. 

NB The plaque is for illustration purposes only.

It could easily be wall mounted and repurposed with hooks as a key holder or with fittings/holes as a pen holder for your desk. 

Presented with belt clip.

Dimensions: 14 x 28cm

""The art of command is...to be the complete master, and yet the complete friend of every man on board; the temporal lord and yet the spiritual brother of every rating; to be detached and yet not dissociated.'
This Officer's Handbook gathers together useful advice and instruction for those naval officers fighting the Second World War on all aspects of their job, expressed in the benevolent language of the day, when authority was respected.
The Handbook has been compiled and edited by Brian Lavery, who provides commentary and an introduction. Sections include: the Officer's Aid Memoire containing notes of the training course at one of the officer training schools; Notes for medical officers and treatment of battle casualties afloat; Notes for captains on taking command of their first ship; Notes for commanding officers; Notes on the handling and safety of ships and notes on dealing with disobedience and mutiny.
While suffused with nostalgia and charm, the various contents of this book are an authentic presentation of matters of training, authority and deportment in the wartime navy. The book is sure to appeal not only to those who served in the war or had a relative who was in the officer class, but also to anyone who wants to gain a greater understanding of the day-to-day administration of the wartime navy.

This is the Swiss Army Knife of clothing and can be used in so many ways for ladies or gents - to keep your neck, face and head warm, to wear while playing sport, as an Alice or hair band or in an emergency if you forget your mask.
