His first flight was from RAF Cranwell on 17 April 1941, he trained in various crew stations on a variety of different aircraft before specializing as Air Gunner/Bomb Aimer.

He also took part in the daylight attack on Le Creusot and Milan - Sgt Boswell's tour of operational duty has been marked by the care and precision he invariably takes before releasing his bombs. He has set a splendid example of courage and devotion to duty. A further honour was conferred with him being mentioned in a despatch for distinguished service on 14 January 1944. His last operational sortie against Tonsberg, Norway was completed on 15 April 1945. Following the end of the War he left the RAFVR on 2 April 1946 and married his sweetheart Doris Oldham on 12 October 1944. The couple had two children and went on to live long lives together.

* ALFRED WAINWRIGHT MBE (BRITISH 1907 - 1991), GEAL CHÀRN ink on paper, signed and titled in the mountmounted, framed and under glassimage size 12cm x 20cm, overall size 27cm x 32cm Note: Alfred Wainwright wrote his Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells between 1952 and 1966. The simple line drawings and clear concise directions make the seven pocket sized guides almost as essential as good walking boots. Wainwright died in 1991. He is remembered with a memorial in the church at Buttermere. Wainwright was born into poverty in the Lancashire town of Blackburn in 1907. The son of a stonemason, he left school when he was 13 and became an office boy in Blackburn Borough Engineer's Department. At the age of 23 he managed a holiday away from home, to the Lake District. It was love at first sight. In his book Fellwanderer Wainwright described his first visit there. "I was utterly enslaved by all I saw," he said. "Here were no huge factories, but mountains; no stagnant canals, but sparkling crystal-clear rivers; no cinder paths, but beckoning tracks that clamber through bracken and heather to the silent fastnesses of the hills. That week changed my life." He qualified as an accountant and moved to Kendal in 1941, rising to become Borough Treasurer seven years later. He spent every spare moment walking the fells that he loved so deeply. The first Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells was published in 1955 and in his introduction he wrote: 'This book is one man's way of expressing his devotion to Lakeland's friendly hills. It was conceived, and is born, after many years of inarticulate worshipping at their shrines. It is, in very truth, a love-letter.' He spent 13 years compiling the seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, tramping the fells in all weathers at weekends, with raincoat, map and camera. Most of his fine, individual drawings were taken from his photographs. The Pictorial Guides were and are still distinctive. Fearing that printers would misspell words, his handwritten work was reproduced directly on to the page; the Westmorland Gazette of Kendal published them all. Wainwright also devised, during 1970-1, the Coast-to-Coast Walk which starts at St Bees Head on the Cumbrian coast and ends at Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea. This is perhaps the most popular of all long-distance walks. The inaugural meeting of 'The Wainwright Society' was held on November 9th 2002 at Ambleside Youth Hostel. Numerous sketchbooks and volumes of drawings followed but in 1984 his writing took a dramatic turn. He agreed to write a book for the London publishers, Michael Joseph, which was illustrated with photographs by Derry Brabbs. Fellwalking with Wainwright became a bestseller overnight and was followed by a further seven illustrated books. Two of the books, Wainwright in Scotland and Wainwright's Coast-to-Coast Walk were accompanied by BBC2 television programmes and suddenly the reclusive walker became a virtual 'national treasure'.

PORT ELLEN 1982 CONNOISSEURS CHOICE | Distilled: 09/1982 | Bottled: 11/2007 | Stated age: 25 years old | ABV: 40% | Region: Islay | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Condition: traces of mold on the back vignette | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper box | Bottle code: JG/EEG | Estimate: 20 000 - 25 000 Kc | Distillery | Port Ellen is a famous Scottish distillery, located on the island of Islay, which is famous for producing heavily peated whiskies. The distillery was founded in 1825 by Alexander Mackay in the port town of Port Ellen, which played a significant role in the transportation of whiskey and other commodities. Although the distillery originally operated for several decades, production ceased in 1929. It reopened in 1967, but only for a short time, before closing for good in 1983 due to overproduction of whiskey during the Depression of the 1980s.Even after the distillery closed, the Port Ellen Maltings remained in operation, which to this day they still provide malt for other distilleries on Islay, including Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Ardbeg and Bowmore. Port Ellen whiskey has achieved legendary status thanks to its distinctive peaty flavour, rich marine notes and extraordinary complexity.In 2017, Diageo announced plans to reopen the distillery to preserve the traditional elements of the original production. The newly installed still replicates the original technique to preserve the authenticity and character of the distillate. The distillery reopened in 2024.Thanks to its fascinating history and limited supply, Port Ellen whiskey has become one of the most sought after in the world. | Bottle | Port Ellen 1982 is a single malt whisky, bottled by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail in November 2007 as part of the prestigious Connoisseurs Choice range. First introduced in 1960, this series is one of the most respected and oldest lines of independent whisky bottlings. In the 1990s, the "Map Label" series was launched within this range, aiming to present individual distilleries from specific Scottish regions.This whisky was matured in refill sherry butt casks for 25 years, preserving the character of the Port Ellen distillate without an overly dominant cask influence.Nose: Light smokiness with notes of peat, sea air, dried fruit, and citrus.Taste: A balanced combination of peat, sweet honey, and prunes with subtle vanilla and wood undertones.Finish: Medium length, with spicy notes, oak, and fruity accents, creating a harmonious conclusion.Whisky from the Port Ellen distillery remains highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and unique character.

GLENCADAM 1987 CONNOISSEURS CHOICE | Distilled: 04/1987 | Bottled: 09/2007 | Stated age: 20 years old | ABV: 43% | Region: Highland | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Condition: traces of mold on the front vignette | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper box, traces of mold on the box | Bottle code: JG/DCB | Estimate: 3 000 - 5 000 Kc | Distillery | Glencadam is a Scottish distillery located in the Highlands, specifically in the town of Brechin, and was built in 1825 by businessman George Cooper. In the past, Glencadam was used as a component in the blended whiskey Stewart's Cream of the Barley or Ballantine's and Teacher's Highland Cream. The distillate has a light floral profile with hints of gingerbread sweetness.The distillery closed in 2000 but was bought by Angus Dundee in 2003 who restored it and developed its single malt production. Today, it is represented on the market by official bottlings of 10-year-old, 15-year-old, 18-year-old and 25-year-old whiskey, and it also releases limited bottlings that have matured in different types of barrels. | Bottle | Glencadam 1987 Connoisseurs Choice is a single malt whisky, distilled in April 1987 at the Glencadam Distillery and bottled by the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail in September 2007 as part of the prestigious Connoisseurs Choice series. First introduced in 1960, this series is one of the most respected and oldest lines of independent whisky bottlings. In the 1990s, the "Map Label" series was introduced within this range to showcase individual distilleries from specific Scottish regions. This whisky has been matured in refill bourbon casks, allowing the cask influence to be less dominant on the distillate, which helps the authentic character of the Glencadam distillery to shine.Nose: Smooth and clean, with notes of citrus and apples, supported by a light sweetness of vanilla and fine oak in the background.Taste: Balanced and smooth, with pronounced notes of ripe fruit, subtle spices, and a hint of peat.Finish: Sweet, medium-length, and refreshing, with lingering notes of sweet oak, fruit, and subtle spice.
