I have to include a remarkable story about Ian when he was an air gunner on Blenheim's in North Africa. They were attacked by an enemy aircraft near the coast. On the first attack the pilot was killed and the Blenheim started to go down. Ian, who'd never flown an aircraft before managed to get into pilots seat and evaded continued passes by the e/a who eventually flew off. Cpl Blair navigated the Blenheim back to base, lower the undercarriage and landed the plane perfectly. The Station Commander gave him an immediate DFM. He subsequently went on a pilots course and did two successful tours as a Spitfire pilot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/3356404a-35ea-43c7-90d1-fbeecf3d5163/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.04.44.png Aviations Wartime photo of Ian Blair DFM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/4a5b4973-c1aa-4042-9f9c-1561b2ba66c4/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.04.30.png Aviations Fighter Pilot print. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/72a12027-1897-4a65-9f10-8f10b69910dc/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.04.19.png Aviations ACM Sir Lewis Hodges KCB CBE DSO* DFC* DL signing my Lysander Pick Up print..

Larry flying through the night landed the 'Dak' in a paddy field. The local villagers came out and by lifting the tail turned the Dakota around so Larry could fly back to base.

George was a pilot in 101 Squadron which had an extra fluent German speaker onboard. His sole job was to convey extreme confusion to the Luftwaffe aircrews who were getting conflicting orders to fly elsewhere and at different heights.

However, 101Sqn were targeted because of this and suffered the highest casualty rate of the war. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/9783f9fc-6f4a-400c-8828-bdfb8f69c9fe/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.00.50.png Aviations Eric Kemp DFC.

As his eyes grew accustomed to the dark he became aware that in fact there was another Halifax above his and only less than two feet away. He ordered the pilot to gently and cautiously descend.

An idea I had from Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Last Supper' painting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/3072f01e-ab8f-4533-a786-b2423067ef0e/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.36.08.png Landscape A farm in the Weald of Kent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/3306ad88-a2c2-4568-9326-5447b59cc461/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.34.44.png Landscape https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/f8658df3-c9e9-4ddd-9f9f-83d58ca7b063/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.34.32.png Landscape Shoreham Heavy Horse Show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/ecce02bf-d9d6-47bb-921b-a4c73cffb4b2/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.34.17.png Landscape Umayyad Mosque, Damascus, Syria. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/716679ef-cbd9-401f-917b-1e502783ea36/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.34.06.png Landscape Painting near Penshurst, Kent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/5275b7c5-b5c9-4ca2-a656-ecc6884b2dbb/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.33.55.png Landscape Deer at Knole Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/7d87d8a7-6344-4ca9-b824-b08a7c3ea3c9/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.33.36.png Landscape Oast House, Kent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/b299e551-3f66-40d8-85b4-a2b688073f32/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.33.08.png Landscape Charcott south of Sevenoaks, Kent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/9c8f36d6-9588-4a08-b8ba-bf7d5be9b55e/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.32.52.png Landscape Trafalgar Dawn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/79d16b4d-5930-4bd9-b9a8-0579a2c768e9/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.32.33.png Landscape Dhows on the beach at Mirbat, Dhofar, Oman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/c1a67c2e-146f-4e54-acfa-76ae6d46c500/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.32.02.png Landscape Lyndisfarne, Holy Island.

My next door neighbour for 55years. I played golf at Knole Park for 27years, and was so bad at it I found places in the park, looking for my golf balls, that not even any of the 2,000 deer knew existed.

I painted this scene during the Vine's Cricket Week. With the seven (actually now eight........don't ask!) oak trees around the bottom end of the pitch. I was painting here in 1979 and met a man who witnessed a plane land on the pitch and later managed to take off again, just, during WWI. Also, a lady used to stop everyday and have a chat. She turned out to be the mother of Stuart Sutcliffe, the Beatles original Bass player. He left the band to pursue a career as an artist, but tragically died in Hamburg in 1962. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/65008ee6-558b-4c41-a700-51c319b3258b/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.26.12.png Landscape Chris, our postman bravely enduring the elements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/d8c42c03-ef3a-405b-91f6-6404a8fb8b35/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+13.26.00.png Landscape I came across this lovely rural scene and heard that there was planning permission to rebuild the whole site.

L/E prints carrying the original signatures of Sir Ed Hillary, Rebecca Stephens, Doug Scott and Sir Chris Bonington. After I had travelled, including to NZ, around the UK obtaining the four signatures I needed, I came up with another mad idea of getting all the surviving members of the 1953 British Everest Expedition to sign a further 20 prints. It was a great privilege to meet and obtain the signatures of; Charles Wylie, George Band, Michael Westmacott, Alf Gregory, Sir Ed Hillary, George Lowe and Michael Ward. Doug Scott during his lecture tours would auction off the prints, and the money raised helped the outlying villages in the Nepalese hills including the building of bridges and schools etc.... I'm very pleased to say the prints have long since sold out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/f7e1bc3d-b4ae-433c-a2fb-8a6f827cb84d/IMG_7790.JPG Landscape Sir Chris Bonington, Doug Scott, Rebecca Stephens and myself signing the Everest prints. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/d004e6d6-03e0-4b88-ba54-ba42bbf25943/IMG_7778.JPG Landscape The par three 8th at Knole Park GC, Sevenoaks. Sometimes, not often, I would even par this lovely hole. It's a well-known location as the Beatles came down to film their 'promo' for the songs Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane here over two days in January 1967. To my everlasting shame my mother said would I like to see the Beatles in Knole Park? I said 'no' (I was not quite 7yrs old)................as the song goes 'regrets, I've had a few'; this one of them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/46b10f28-c4e8-4ee7-a758-c1acf57439a0/IMG_2092.JPG Landscape Painting in Penshurst, Kent. https://www.graeme-lothian.com/art-reproduction daily 0.75 2024-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/a911cc5e-14e3-44d7-9d92-6830440dc923/2+%281%29.JPG Art reproduction Johannes Vermeer.

Dhofar, Oman. 19th July 1972. 9 SAS soldiers came under attack by a force of up to 400 communist enemy (Adoo). I had to go down to Hereford to talk to the survivors of the battle. It was important for each of us to get the finished painting as accurate as possible. In the end, thankfully, all of the SAS men said the picture was indeed totally accurate. The only 'artistic licence' I used was reducing the amount of smoke on that day. The prints carried the signatures of six of the survivors of that day. Awards were a DSO, a DCM and two MM's. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/4a0f14e0-68bd-4ea8-82f9-9adc1cd32d94/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+14.50.22.png military A Household Cavalry trooper on guard in Whitehall, near Downing Street, London. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/28bc0bf9-8a85-4f5d-9279-0d6387ea8917/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+14.50.13.png military Chiefs of Staff with their AMA's (behind) marching down the Mall during King Charles III Coronation. 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/02060120-41d1-436f-a8dd-1c5d7e299fbf/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+14.50.01.png military King Charles III Coronation proceeding down the Mall to Buckingham Palace, as seen from the former Admiralty Arch. 6 May, 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65635d6497d2ed346173a664/241056c6-37ab-4c9e-9794-dc222cfb712d/Screen+Shot+2024-02-03+at+14.49.50.png military The funeral cortege of Queen Elizabeth II proceeding from Whitehall through to Horse Guards parade ground.
