Capt Vivian Gunton. Concorde signed 12 x 8 colour photo. Captain Vivian Gunton started flying in 1958 with an RAF Flying Scholarship - on a Tiger Moth - at a grass aerodrome called Fairoaks. On leaving school he took one of the 42 places offered at the College of Air Training, Hamble, when it opened in 1960. After graduating from the College in 1962, Viv joined British European Airways and spent 8 years flying around Europe and the UK, first on the Vanguard then flying Tridents which were at that time the fastest civil passenger aeroplanes in the world. Promoted Captain in 1970, he spent 7 years flying in Scotland, which included three years flying the Scottish Air Ambulance Service and landing on the beach at Barra in the Outer Hebrides. He returned to London to fly the Trident again, and with the demise of the Trident in late 1985, Viv needed to find something faster to fly and so became a Concorde Captain. He flew Concorde for 11 years until he retired in September 1996. He subsequently spent two years, part time, flying a King-Air for Cega Air Ambulance. Viv lives with his wife in Odiham. When not gardening or flying aerobatics in a Chipmunk, they may be found narrow boating at a mind-bending 4 m.p.h. Good condition Est.

An Italian bronze door knocker with Neptune and seahorses, after Alessandro Vittoria, Italian, 1525-1608, 19th century, the Nemean lion mask surmount above a figure of Neptune within a pierced cartouche of opposed sea horses on a shell, the circular striking plate cast in the form of a patera, the knocker 39cm high (3)Provenance: Jeffrey Whitehead, Esq., The Mayes, East Grinstead, until sold Christie's, London, 4-5 & 9 August 1915, lot 870; Willam Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme, acquired from D.L. Osaac's (invoice 1 September 1915, £14), at The Hill to Thornton Manor; The Leverhulme Collection, Thornton Manor, Wirral, Merseyside, Sotheby's, 26-28 June 2001, lot 1077.Footnotes: Note: The current lot is noted in the inventories in the collection of Jeffrey Whitehead. Although, little is known of him, he appears to have been a stockbroker and a passionate collector of works of art and embroidery.Condition Report: The lot overall has a heavy verde gris, rough patination. Neptune's trident is bent at the top of his hand and was possible originally a longer handle. This hand also has a slightly brown patination. The knocker does function but the hinge is quite stiff and would benefit from some oil. Where the knocker hits the separate circular mount there is an inevitable worn patch where contact is made. The separate lion head sits above the hinge when mounted. The dimensions in complete mounted state are: 57cm high; 28cm wide; 13cm deep (protrusion).
