610 Squadron, February 1943 - Charlie, Stewie, Doug, Feathers, Johnnie, Arnt, South, Gerry, Sammy; and Mike, Reg, Dave, Jeff, Paddy, Doris, Hoppy, Dai and Williesigned lower right "Olive Snell / March 1943" and "Olive Snell / 610 Squadronwatercolour and charcoal, each 56 x 39cm (a pair)On fine linen paper and stuck down. Under glass. One large foxing spot in the second lot of men.The Tatler and Bystander, 16 June 1943, "Men of the 610 Squadron - Portraits by Olive Snell", illlus. p.341610 SquadronThe present portrait studies were probably initiated towards the end of February, 1943 while the Squadron was based at Westhampnett, a satellite airfield to the main base at Tangmere. The pilots depicted - several referred to by their nicknames - are as follows:First PaintingCharlie: Dubbed "Polish Charlie", most probably Sgt. Karol Michalkiewicz, born 1921, joined 610 Squadron on 21 November 1941 from 316 (The City of Warsaw Polish Squadron) . Left 610 on 3 April 1943. No information about his subsequent service but it seems that he stayed in Britain after the War and died in Birmingham on 27 September 1988.Stewie: P/O Andrew Stewart Barrie was educated at Harrow, studied law and trained in Canada. Shot down and killed on 22 June 1943 aged 25 whilst on a "Ramrod" escorting mission over Rotterdam. Fighter Pilots intensely disliked Ramrod duties which involved escorting bombers to ground level targets in daylight hours at slow speed . He is buried in the Hook of Holland General Cemetery.Doug: F/Lt. Douglas Owen Collinge, DFC. On his second appointment to 610 Squadron he became one of two Flight Commanders to his Commanding Officer Johnnie Johnson. Prior to co-joining 610 on 4 September 1942 he had been recommended for the DFC and received his medal from the King at Buckingham Palace on 20 November 1942. Shot down and killed in Cayeux on 21 April 1943.Feathers: Squadron Leader W A Laurie, DFC. A Liverpudlian, he joined 610 on 8 September 1942 and became one of the Flight Commanders. Succeeded Johnnie Johnson as Commanding Officer of 610 from March 1943 until January 1944. He retired from the RAF in 1961.Johnnie: Squadron Leader James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson , DFC and Bar, had been officially posted to 610 Squadron as its Commanding Officer on 13 July 1942 and remained in that position until 19 March 1943, when, concurrently being promoted to Wing Commander, he left to take command of the Canadian wing comprising 403 and 416 Squadrons at Kenley.During his eight months as 610's Commanding Officer there were innumerable changes to the pilot personnel in the squadron for various reasons, not least numerous casualties. His time at 610 was a difficult one for the squadron, particularly because the Mk V Spitfires with which they were equipped were no match for the German Focke-Wolf Fw B190 fighters which were very formidable machines. 610 was also heavily involved in the Dieppe raid on 19 August 1942 which was a disaster for the ground forces and not much less dire for all of the squadrons of Fighter Command involved. On that operation Johnson came perilously close to being shot down.Arnt: 2nd Lt. Arnt Hvinden. A Norwegian, who was a Civil pilot before the War and who had been awarded the Norwegian King's Medalie for gallantry during operations in Norway. Born 1917. Instructed in Canada prior to joining 610 Squadron on 20 January 1943 and posted elsewhere (by then a Captain) 12 September 1943. Died 1987.South: P/O Southwell C Creagh, Australian, Joined 610 on 3 April 1942 and was the squadron's "Eye" who could spot German fighters before the other pilots. Shot down over the sea, 19 August 1942. Rescued and returned to 610. In early September 1942 he was credited, jointly with Sgt. Greggory, with shooting down the first Messerschmitt Me 210 to be downed over mainland England. Gerry: Lt. Gerry Volkhersz, Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service. Joined 610 February 1943, left March 1943 to join the Fleet Air Arm. Living in Germiston, South Africa, in 1987. Died 1994.Sammy: F/O George Samuel Malton, a Canadian and one of the Squadron's youngest pilots. Joined 610 26 August 1942. Shot down and killed 28 March 1943 while escorting American bombers near Fecamp. Ironically, he should not even have been flying on that day as he was still on sick leave with a broken jaw following a fight in the Regent Palace Hotel, London, with American servicemen.Second PaintingMike: Sgt. H Dallow had been in the Durham Light Infantry during the retreat from Dunkirk and subsequently transferred to the RAF. Nothing is known about this pilot's subsequent service or life.Reg: F/O Pearson, a former rear-gunner in Coastal Command, who saw action at Dunkirk and in the Far East before training as a pilot, and then became an instructor. Nothing is known about this pilot's subsequent service or life.Dave: P/O Alan Hubert Davidson was in the Buffs before transferring to the RAF. Joined 610 from 521 Squadron on 29 January 1943 and posted elsewhere on 5 May 1943. Born Putney in 1917.Doris: F/Lt. Peter Pound, a fighter pilot in Libya early in the War, was wounded and joined 610 on 19 February 1943. No more is known about this pilot's subsequent service or life.Jeff: P/O Jeffrey Martin Cremer. Joined 610 on 23 February 1943. Killed aged 19 on his first operational flight 14 March 1943 when he stalled his Spitfire over Bognor and crashed in the sea.Paddy: Probably Sgt. (later F/O) J G A Small, a fiery Irishman from Limerick with a particular penchant for blowing up steam engines. Joined 610 in January 1942. Posted from 610 Squadron to Montrose, Scotland, 19 January 1944 for an Instructor's Course.Hoppy: F/Lt. Colin G Hodgkinson. Joined 610 from 131 Squadron on 20 January 1943, having previously been in the Fleet Air Arm. He had lost both legs at the age of 19 in a Fleet Air Arm flying accident but, inspired by Douglas Bader, was determined that this would not keep him from flying. Dai:F/Sgt. Dai T Jones was formerly a docker's foreman. Joined 610 on 28 August 1942. Promoted to P/O on 18 May 1943. Transferred from 610 on 19 January 1944.Willie: F/Lt. P I Howard-Williams, DFC, a regular RAF officer who had been in action during the retreat from Dunkirk. Awarded the DFC in November 1941, thereafter joining 610 on 22 February 1943. He was a regular RAF Officer who had been in action at Dunkirk. Transferred in April 1943 but returned to 610 June-November 1943. After the War he remained in the RAF until retiring as a Squadron Leader in 1958. He bought the Pandora Inn at Restronguet in Cornwall. He retired to Spain from 1979-1991 and died in England in 1993. His brother Jeremy was also a fighter pilot and was also awarded the DFC but was killed in 1940.Olive Snell (1888-1962) married Colonel Ebenezer Leckie Pike, CBE, MC, of Dale Park, Arundel, Sussex Born in Durban, South Africa Lived in London and Petersfield, Hampshire Olive Snell studied under Boris Anrep and Augustus John, and exhibited at the Goupil Gallery, Fine Art Society, Grosvenor Gallery and the New English Art Club, Portrait Painters, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and The Society of Women ArtistsOlive Snell was related to Hugh "Cocky" Dundas (later Group Captain Sir Hugh Dundas, DSO and Bar, DFC) who was Johnson's great friend in the war and indeed his best man at his wedding, so it is possible that it was through this connection that Olive Snell came to be asked to paint these portraits, although she is believed to have done similar pilot portraits of 610 Squadron in 1941..Olive Snell's work is in the Imperial War Museum, London.

- Built for Hugh C. Hunter by R.R. Jackson of Brooklands fame with input from Zillwood `Sinbad' Milledge - Raced pre- and post-WW2 at Brooklands, Crystal Palace, Shelsey Walsh, Silverstone and Goodwood etc - Current ownership since 1990 with numerous HGPCA, VSCC and Goodwood Revival outings - Supercharged Alta DOHC engine, independent suspension and ENV pre-selector transmission - The subject of a feature article by Mick Walsh in Classic & Sports Car magazine Further Info: `I consider Geoffrey Taylor, the Alta's designer, as a sort of pre-war Colin Chapman ahead of his time and very concerned with lightness. And he designed and built virtually everything the engine, supercharger and chassis. I think the Alta's rigid chassis and independent suspension would have had much more influence if the war hadn't got in the way. It was very light - the car weighed 11.5cwt, less than the ERAs, the 4CLT Maserati or the MG and Riley specials it was up against. With a 2-litre engine it began to match, even sometimes beat the ERAs, which were the top voiturettes at the time' (F1 and Indy Car designer Len Terry, Motor Sport May 2001). Born into a wealthy family, Hugh Curling Hunter became altogether more serious about his racing during 1937 when, at the age of twenty-six, he bought a Frazer Nash-BMW 328 and Alta Voiturette Single-Seater. Designated chassis 62IS (I = Independent Suspension, S = Supercharged), the latter was delivered to R.R. Jackson's Brooklands premises as a kit of parts. An Alta owner himself, the famed tuner / special builder entrusted the project to his lead consultant Zillwood `Sinbad' Milledge who had proven adept at sorting suspension geometry, designing crankshafts / conrods / brake drums and crafting aerodynamic bodywork. Aside from Hugh Hunter's Alta, Milledge helped hone the Multi-Union, Appleton Special, Bentley Jackson and Freikaiserwagen among others. Sporting a higher headrest fairing and more enveloping silhouette than George Abecassis' similar Alta (chassis 61IS), Hugh Hunter's car yielded him a coveted Brooklands 120mph badge and also showed considerable pace at Crystal Palace and Shelsey Walsh. Campaigned throughout 1938 and into the following year before being supplanted in Hunter's affections by an ex-Mille Miglia winning Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B, chassis 62IS changed hands several times during WW2. Reputedly resident in a china shop for a while, the advent of peace saw J.H. Williams acquire the single-seater. Rebodied in the style of a post-WW2 Alta Grand Prix car with what is rumoured to have been factory assistance, chassis 62IS resumed its racing career at a variety of sprint and hillclimb venues not to mention such new circuits as Goodwood and Silverstone. Sold by Mr Williams to Basil Tye, the Alta is known to have belonged thereafter to Lady Mary Grosvenor (who campaigned it in 1.5 and 2.0 litre guises), Albert Wake, Frank Lockhart, Bill Little, Hugh Clifford, John Bateson, Vintage Racing Autos, Hugh Clifford (again), Peter and John Moores, John Pearson and Bob Jones before entering the current ownership during 1990. Extensively fettled thereafter - including the fitment of a more pre-WW2 looking body - chassis 62IS has enjoyed numerous outings with the Historic Grand Prix Cars' Association and Vintage Sports Car Club. Invited to participate in the first Goodwood Revival meeting some seventeen years ago, it has since contested the Goodwood Trophy for Grand Prix and Voiturette cars on several occasions the last being in 2010. Understood to displace over 2 litres, its four-cylinder DOHC Alta engine is allied to ENV four-speed pre-selector transmission. Not campaigned of late, the single-seater is nevertheless in running order and has recently been driven by Mick Walsh as part of a multi-page feature article due to appear in an upcoming issue of Classic & Sportscar magazine. Eligible for numerous prestigious events, this historic Alta is offered for sale with a spare set of wheels, expired FIA papers plus sundry other documentation and spares.
