The Mallard by Robert Barbour.

The magnificent Mallard was a London and North Eastern Railway, Clas A4 4-6-2 Pacific Steam Locomotive. built by LNER Doncaster in 1938. The Mallard was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. The Mallard was designed to travel at speeds of 100 mph and to pull the high speed streamlined trains and remained in service until 1963 and was painted in the very distinctive garter blue with red wheels and trim. The Mallard is the holder of the Steam Locomotives World Speed record set at 126 mph. The record was achieved on the 3rd July 1938 on the east Coast Main Line juist south of Grantham. (The previous holder was a German DRG class o5 which stood at 124 mph set in 1936) The Mallard was restored to full working order in the 1980s and nis now part of the national Colletion at the National Railway Museum in York.

The Flying Scotsman by Robert Barbour.

The Flying Scotsman is a LNER Class A3 Pacific Locomotive no.4472 and was built in 1923 for the London and north Eastern railway at the LNER Doncaster. The Flying Scotsman was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. The Flying Scotsman represented the LNER at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924. The Flying Scotsman was used on the London to Edinburgh service and on the 1st May 1928 she pulled the inaugral train on this route. The London to Edinburgh journey of 392 miles was completed in 8 hours non stop. This was due to the 9 tons of coal carried in the eight wheeled tender and the water trough system to taking on water. On the 30th November 1934 the Flying Scotsman became the first steam locomotive to officially record 100mph and the land speed record. In her career she travelled 2 million miles.

Ivan Berryman - Battle of Britain Art

Artist Ivan Berryman has been producing many pencil drawings depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. Each of these is signed by one of the pilots who was actually present at the battle, and is often inspired by the events they took part in themselves. Special signed print editions have also been created from existing full colour print editions, with some featuring multiple pilot signatures. You can find all of Ivan's Battle of Britain artwork on his website - www.ivanberryman.com, or see a full list of pencil drawings - updated regularly, in our dedicated section of pencil drawings.

When you go to a product page for an item in our shop, click on the names of the pilots where they are linked in the text for an item to see a profile page for that pilot. Often we include photos of signing sessions along with details of their flying career, and a full list of all items signed by the pilot.

Pilot Signed Battle of Britain Prints and Original Pencil Drawings

Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

We are busy building up a portfolio of many many original pencil drawings which depict events from the Battle of Britain, the famous air battle won by 'the Few' in the summer of 1940. The British and Commonwealth pilots defended the air above Britain and the surrounding seaways from the might of the German Luftwaffe. Greatly outnumbered, the bravery of these young pilots saved the country from invasion, and let Britain survive to go on to defeat Germany. Without that first crucial victory, the outcome of the war could have been so very different. We have been busy arranging signing sessions with the few pilots who fought in that great battle who remain with us to this day. Our newly commissioned pencil drawings are often based on the descriptions of the battle by these great men, and are authenticated by their signatures. We have also had several editions of existing prints signed in full, or have signatures added to parts of existing editions. We have also incoporated signatures of some of the German pilots who also took part in the battle, some of whom went on to become top scoring aces of the war. See our Original Pencil Drawings Section - particularly the section of artists David Pentland and Ivan Berryman. Also, see our New Signature Editions section to see all of our newly signed editions.
