Sinking the Bismarck Signed J A Grindle HMS Rodney and P D Gick Swordfish Pilot Both in action. Rare. official Navy cover. Rear Admiral Philip ‘Percy’ Gick flew Swordfish aircraft in the Second World War and also created Emsworth Yacht Harbour. He served in a total of eight aircraft carriers and was awarded the DSC and Bar and twice mentioned in dispatches. Gick flew Fairey Swordfish biplanes with 825 squadron from 1941. Swordfish wings could be folded for easier storage on aircraft carriers. Less than a month after joining the Squadron, flying his Swordfish from the aircraft carrier Victorious, he was involved in the hunt for the German battleship Bismarck that was a serious threat to the British Royal Navy and war supply ships. At 16:00 on 25 May 1941 the Victorious (seen above with Swordfish aircraft on its deck), together with four light cruisers plotted a course to launch her nine Swordfish torpedo bombers at Bismarck. At 22:00, Victorious launched the strike. Gick scored a direct torpedo hit on the Bismarck in the attack, the only pilot out of the nine to be successful, despite flying to find the German battleship completely in the dark! Even though the Bismarck didn’t sink, she was severely damaged, and was sunk two days later, following a successful air strike from the aircraft carrier Ark Royal. Gick subsequently received the DSC for his part in the action. Following promotion to acting Lieutenant Commander, he then joined the escort carrier Vindex as Lieutenant Commander (Flying) in 1944. After work on the Atlantic convoy routes as an escort ship, his Swordfish aircraft squadron took part in the sinking of no fewer than five U-boats, for which he was again mentioned in dispatches. After a short spell in command of a training squadron, in 1952 he captained the destroyer HMS Daring. Although aged only 40, he was known by the crew as ‘Old Percy’ after a nickname given to him by a Royal Navy Admiral as a joke. Gick then joined the carrier Venerable, part of the British Pacific Fleet, in command of the ship’s air group. In January 1957 he took command of the aircraft carrier Bulwark for her final commission as a fixed-wing carrier before her conversion to helicopter carrier. Bulwark took part in NATO exercises in the North Atlantic and the Caribbean Good Condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Registration No: NEA 421V Chassis No: 2392148815 MOT: April 2025Desirable UK-supplied example that pleasingly features a highly original interiorUtilising a 1641cc ‘Super Street’ engineSubject to mechanical improvement in 2023Used since by the vendor for several camping trips including to Brecon Beacons, Suffolk, and BristolIntroduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen’s iconic, forward-control Type 2 which has proven versatile enough to serve as a panel van, minibus, camper van and even fire engine was immediately recognisable due to its adoption of a large single-piece windscreen. Nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only facilitated an increase in ride height but also improved handling. The T2’s lengthened wheelbase was welcomed by motor caravan builders if only because the increased interior space it yielded made conversion and customisation easier. Facelifted in 1972 for the following model year, the Volkswagen gained more visible / higher set indicators and stronger square-profile bumpers that enabled the so-called T2b to meet contemporary US passenger car safety standards (tests from which vans were technically exempt).A late production T2, it was converted when new to Devon Moonraker specification. UK-supplied, the Volkswagen is presented in attractive Yellow and White paintwork and features its pleasingly largely original interior, this includes a side opening ‘pop top’, worktop and cabinets with two-burner hob, sink with drying rack, rock-and-roll bed, folding chair, table, curtains, storage, fridge, C-TEK charger with leisure battery and more. Utilising a ‘big bore super street’ 1641cc engine that was fitted in 2009 by The Engine Shop, after the engine had received a full overhaul. In previous ownership from 2012, the Volkswagen received over £6,000 enhancement with specialists Absolute VW, including lowering with Creative Engineering parts; new front discs, calipers, pads and hoses; wiring attention; rocker gaskets replaced; new exhaust; 12v fuse box; 240v hook-up; and more.

A Second World War presentation wristwatch, its case back bearing the engraved inscription "Presented by Neighbours and Friends to 1st Class Stoker J Stewart, HMS Grenade, who was wounded at Dunkirk", (movement a/f). [HMS Grenade (H86) was a G class destroyer, launched in November 1935 and commissioned in March 1936. Grenade initially served as part of the protective screen, to cover the vessels involved in the evacuation at Dunkirk and it was only on the night of 28/29th May that she was herself sent over to the port. On May 29th, Grenade was attacked by Ju87 Stukas while berthed in Dunkirk. Two direct hits killed 14 with a further four seriously wounded; fire now swept through the ship. Fearing that Grenade might sink blocking the berth, she was cut free from her moorings and drifted into the main channel of the harbour, where the trawler John Cattling took her under tow to the western side of the port, in order to move her out of the way. It was here that she later sank, following the explosion of her magazines during the evening. Credit https://dunkirk1940.org]

⊕ STILL-LIFE, HEATHER AND APPLEoil on canvas38 x 53cm; 15 x 20 3/4in52.5 x 67.5; 20 3/4 x 26 1/2in (framed)Painted in 1980, Schlenker notes that Motesiczky arranged the present still life on draining board in the old fashioned scullery next to the dining room at Chesterford Gardens: 'On the draining board's row of rough wooden planks two shallow earthenware dishes stand side by side. One is holding an apple. The other, displaying a bowl containing a bunch of multicoloured heather, has a greenish inside which echoes the colour of the fruit. Both objects have been placed next to the sink for good reasons: while the apple is washed to be eaten, the heather is watered to ensure its growth. The drop of water, escaping from the tap and shining brightly in the light, testifies to the completed tasks. A bee is hovering above the heather, about to indulge in its pollen.'

⊕DAVID BATES (lots 170-177)IntroductionBates enrolled as a student at the Royal College of Art in 1950, where he railed with his tutor Francis Bacon and also the young art critic David Sylvester about the rise of abstraction, arguing vehemently for realism and naturalism. Sylvester was disparaging of the so called 'Kitchen Sink School' to which he all too readily consigned Bates, and was especially critical of Bates' fellow student and friend John Bratby. But Bates was not to be dissuaded. He joined the Communist Party, and his strongly held socialist convictions led him later both to campaign for nuclear disarmament and to march in protest against the war in Vietnam. His subject matter in the 1950s reflected his political views and his interest in the worker in society: in London he made studies of workers removing tram lines and emblematic studies of industrial objects such as a cement mixer. Later he would celebrate the working man in his powerful portrait of Billy Griffiths, a plumber in Preston (lot 174). At the RCA he met fellow art student June Moss, his wife to be. The couple were married in Nottingham in 1957 where Bates was teaching at Boots College (lots 171 & 177). They first moved together to Yeovil, then In 1961 they took their burgeoning family to Preston where Bates became senior lecturer in painting at Harris School of Art. They remained there until the late 1970s, by the end of which the couple were running non-vocational art courses, and Bates was directing the Preston Arts Centre, overseeing a diverse programme of music, film, art and events. In 1978 he took early retirement and he and June moved further north to live and work at Newbiggin Hall, Carlisle.Bates was born in China, the son of a Methodist mIssionary and headmaster. But with the rise of the Kuomintang (the Chinese Nationalist Party) his parents were forced to leave, returning with their young family to England in 1931. Over the next two decades the family relocated regularly. They first lived briefly in Birmingham, then moved to Penzance, and subsequently to Nottingham before settling in Stockport in 1940, where Bates attended Stockport Polytechnic, and Bristol in 1945, where he enrolled in the West of England College of Art. In the late 1940s the family moved to Millom, South Cumbria where Bates began recording the heavy industry of the area (lot 173), before starting his studies at the Royal College of Art in London. Then, in 1951 the family upped-sticks once again and moved to Stoke-on-Trent where he drew and painted the potteries (lots 172 & 176).DAVID FREDERICK BATES (BRITISH 1929-2024)AT THE LIDOoil on cardboard17.5 x 19cm; 6 3/4 x 7 1/2in unframed

The Hutson Family George Thomas HutsonThe British War and Victory Medals and Memorial Plaque awarded to Pte George Thomas Hutson Royal Army Medical Corps who was Killed in Action in the sinking of His Majesty’s Hospital Ship Glenart Castle on the 26th of February 1918, comprising 1914-1920 British War and Victory Medals, (123711 Pte. G.T. Hutson. R.A.M.C.), Memorial Plaque (George Thomas Hutson) Framed and Glazed, naming not seen. Sold with an original photograph of George Hutson in uniform.On 25 February 1918, Glenart Castle left Newport, South Wales, heading towards Brest, France, to collect patients. After 3:00 on 26 February, fishermen in the Bristol Channel saw her clearly lit up as a hospital ship. John Hill — a fisherman on Swansea Castle — remembered "I saw the Hospital Ship with green lights all around her – around the saloon. She had her red side lights showing and mast-head light, and also another red light which I suppose was the Red Cross light." A little before 04:00, Glenart Castle was hit by a torpedo fired from the German U-boat UC-56 in the No. 3 hold. The blast destroyed most of the lifeboats, while the subsequent pitch of the vessel hindered attempts to launch the remaining boats. In the seven to eight minutes the ship took to sink, accounts varied as to how many lifeboats were launched, but only one lifeboat carrying 22 men survived the night on rough seas. The men bailed constantly in wintry conditions to avoid being swamped. They were rescued by a French boat, Feon, around 10:30. Four rafts bearing nine more men were located by USS Parker between 13:00 and 15:00. Fireman Jesse White washed astern in his exhausted state and was injured by Parker's propeller. White died on board. One man was unconscious when rescued and died in hospital the next day having never recovered consciousness. He was subsequently identified as Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) Private Samuel "Harry" Lund. The body of wireless operator Michael Sinnott was recovered off Trevose Head, Cornwall, on 2 March 1918.The most likely figures are that 182 were on board, of whom 29 survived. A total of 153 people were killed. Ninety-five of 120 crew died, including Captain Bernard Burt who had given the order "Every Man For Himself" before he was last seen retiring to the chart room. Both chaplains, 48 of 52 RAMC personnel, and all eight nurses of the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service died. The matron of Glenart Castle, Kate Beaufoy, was among those killed in the sinking. Beaufoy was a veteran of the South African War and the Gallipoli campaign. Her family kept her diary and her writings describe life on the ship. Also killed was Staff Nurse Edith Blake, the only Australian nurse killed in action in the First World War. Having trained at the Coast Hospital (later Prince Henry Hospital) in Sydney, she volunteered to serve and was one of almost 130 Australian nurses allotted to the QAIMNS. She nursed at 1 Australian General Hospital in Cairo and 17 British General Hospital in Alexandria, on HMHS Essequibo and nursed Germans at Belmont Prisoners of War Hospital, Surrey before joining Glenart Castle. She described her war service in detailed letters home to her family. Newspaper reports suggested that the submarine may have shot at initial survivors of the sinking in an effort to cover up the sinking of Glenart Castle. The body of a junior officer of Glenart Castle was recovered from the water close to the position of the sinking. It was marked with two gunshot wounds, one in the neck and the other in the thigh. The body also had a life vest indicating he was shot while in the water.However, official records do not support this story.Arthur HutsonThe Great War Territorial Force War Medal Territorial Efficiency group of 4 awarded to Georges younger brother Arthur Hutson, 17th Battalion (1st Footballers) Middlesex Regiment later Royal garrison Artillery.

Greene (Graham).- Martin (Green) Children of the Sun, ownership inscription of Graham Greene on pastedown, extensive note on front free endpaper, and heavily annotated with underlinings, marginalia, and notes on c.35pp. by Greene, original cloth, dust-jacket, toned, spine faded, nicks and creases to edges, 4to, 1976. *** A curiously vitriolic Greene chastens this critical work which traces the post-War generations and the Bright Young Things. Taking no prisoners, the work bears unusually heavy, dissenting and in places virulent annotations. An extensive inscription begins the diatribe: "An absurd badly written book which Orwell & Leavis would have condemned. A kitchen-sink style. The anti-snob snob. To write well - of which he incapable - is to be a dandy. Ill at ease and class-conscious. Does he really believe that he is "mature"? which means apparently "normal" & "decent"...The key-tune "manly responsibility"." Has he got it himself? 'What did you do in the war daddy?'". A following one-item key for annotations ("= absurdities") is seen throughout the work's margins, castigating lines and passages, bolstered with exclamation- and question-marks, as well as caustic notes. Greene circles "cultically" and "consensus manliness", sneering "English?" in the margin; on the writer's discussing Ackerley's My Father and I, Greene comments "but the father was homosexual too - has he read the book?" and often comments on grammar. A paragraph on Greene himself states boldly "both Graham Greene and Henry Green, rather similar figures in their melancholia and strong sexuality, had both retreated from the competition of London..." to which Greene responds "Nonsense. I had to earn a living, and I didn't live in London". He even corrects the writer's attribution of Lawless Roads for the Catholic Book Club to Waugh, lamenting "I wrote this!". All together an illuminating and curiously risible take down on this niche work of literary history.
