Bristol Britannia

Often referred to as the "Whispering Giant", Bristol's sleek Type 175 Britannia represented a milestone in turboprop airliner design, although it was already something of an anachronism by the time it entered service, as the jet age was just getting underway. Nevertheless, 85 Britannias were built before production ceased in 1960, many serving with BOAC, as exemplified by G-ANBG, seen here before being re-registered because superstitious pilots disliked the letters 'NBG', believing them to be an acronym of "No Bloody Good!"

The Skull Motifs of Hauptamann Godwin von Brumowski, Italian Front, 1917/18

The bright red Albatros D.IIIs of the great Austro-Hungarian WW1 ace Hauptmann Godwin von Brumowski sported a different skull design on each of his three aircraft. This unusual print is an excellent reference for modellers and clearly defines each machine.

Charlie November

The oldest surviving Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander, serial No 003 G-AVCN is depicted climbing out of Bembridge in the late 1960s wearing the livery of Aurigny Air Services. This aircraft is now the subject of a major restoration, having been discovered languishing in a derelict state at San Juan Isla Grande airport in Puerto Rico, the hope being to restore the aircraft to pristine condition and place it on public display as a tribute to the brilliance of the original Islander concept and to all those that helped create and maintain this most ubiquitous and important type.

Day Ranger to Grove

On 26th September 1944, F/O George Stewart, and his navigator F/O Paul Beaudet flew a Day Ranger with fellow 23 Squadron Pilot F/O D.L,'Bud' Badley, and his navigator Sgt AA Wilson, to Grove Aerodrome in Denmark, in their FB.VI Mosquito fighter bombers. Arriving abruptly over their target, George spotted a Ju.88 sitting by the perimeter track and at once strafed with his four 20mm cannons. He is flying YP-T (HR 201), and Bud, YP-Z (HR 216), seen in the background. Their sudden appearance and departure drew no return fire and, as they raced back to the coast, George couldn't resist a departing shot at a Freya Radar tower, but got hit by a .303 round in his instrument panel as he flew overhead. Bud, however, received numerous hits on his pass, losing one engine, plus rudder, elevator control and R/T. In a superb display of airmanship, at zero feet, Bud regained control and flew back home to land safely at the emergency airstrip at Woodbridge. George, having plunged into low cloud and therefore lost sight of Bud, was unable to raise him on the R/T and flew on to Little Snoring. George and Paul were awarded DFCs, following their extended operational tour, and Bud an 'Immediate' DFC, by W/C 'Sticky' Murphy DSO and Bar, DFC and Bar, Croixe de Guerre and Palm, Commanding Officer of 23 Squadron, RAF.

Dora-Nine

Without doubt one of the finest fighter aircraft of WW2, the Focke-Wulf FW.190 was steadily developed from the BMW-powered 'A' series through to the Jumo-Powered 'D', the latter of which proved superior to its predecessors in almost every respect. Here, a pair of D-9s of IV./JG3 based at Prenzlau in Eastern Germany, roll through a glorious late afternoon sky in March 1945.

Eastern Front Marauder

Much maligned by its pilots for its cramped cockpit and difficult handling qualities, Henschel's Hs.129 was to prove a useful and potent weapon in the Ground Attack role, especially on the Eastern Front where the Russian Sturmoviks had ably demonstrated the importance of a purpose-built aircraft to fulfil this vital capability. This Hs 129 B-2/R2 is typical of those engaged against the Soviets in 1943, depicted here attacking a pair of T-34 tanks with its potent combination of Mk 101 30mm cannon and four MG17 machine guns. The Infantry Attack badge of the Schlacht units can be seen on the nose.

Finibee over Bembridge

Designed and developed in the early 1950s as a light home-build single-seater, the diminutive Britten-Norman BN-1F 'Finibee' was the first foray into aircraft manufacture by the partnership of John Britten and Desmond Norman. It was not a commercial success, but served as a useful proof-of-concept learning exercise for the two entrepreneurs who's subsequent design projects - the BN-2 Islander and its 3-engined hybrid, the Trislander - went on to become some of the most successful and numerous commercial aircraft ever built with over 1250 examples rolling off the production lines since the mid 1960s. The Finibee is pictured in its final guise, banking over Bembridge Airport, Isle of Wight, in 1953. This aircraft has survived and is now on display at the Solent Sky Aviation Museum in Southampton.

Grace and Elegance

Perhaps one of the most beautiful of all flying boats, the giant Saro SR.45 Princess was a technical triumph and an aesthetic wonder. Intended for BOAC's non-stop transatlantic service, problems with its ten Bristol Proteus 600 turboprop engines delayed development sufficiently for the proposed airlines to lose interest in flying boat concepts and opt instead for land-based airliners. Three prototypes of the elegant SR.45 were constructed, although only one of these - G-ALUN - ever flew, as depicted here in all her glory.

Never Say Die

What must surely be one of WWII's most extraordinary acts of bravery occurred on the night of 16th/17th January 1945 when F/L T A Smith and F/O A C Cockayne were on an ASH patrol over Stendal. Flying Mosquito FB.VI RS507 (YP-C), they inadvertently stumbled upon the German airfield of Fassberg on their return trip, fully lit up with aircraft taxiing. Taking full advantage of this situation, F/L Smith went straight in to attack, destroying one Bf.109 on the taxiway and another two as they attempted to take off. RS507 received ground fire hits to its starboard engine during the chase down the runway, Smith feathering the prop, but continuing to press home his attack. Knowing that there was no way of saving their aircraft, Cockayne was ordered to bale out, but sadly lost his life in the attempt. F/L Smith fought gallantly to bring his Mosquito down into snow with minimum damage, but the aircraft hit trees before striking the frozen ground and a furious fire broke out, Smith trapped in the wreckage. Against all the odds, he survived the crash, albeit with terrible burns, and saw out the war as a prisoner of the Germans.

On Safe Wings Home

The Avro Type 683 Lancaster was, without doubt, the RAF's finest Bomber of World War Two. Strong, reliable and infinitely versatile, it carried the night bomber offensive deep into Germany's heart and was the mainstay of Bomber Command from its inception late in 1941. This 207 Squadron Lancaster B.1, is making its lonely way home after a night raid in 1943.

Queen of the Skies

Designed originally by Vickers-Armstrong (Aircraft) Ltd, the prototype VC.10 took to the air for the first time from Brooklands, near Weybridge, in Surrey in 1962. One of only a few airliners ever to feature the tail 'quad' engine arrangement, the VC.10 became the mainstay of British Overseas Airways Corporation's operations worldwide, the type continuing to serve when Britain's major airlines merged to become British Airways. Many airframes continued their long service career with the Royal Air Force as air-to-air re-fuelling tankers well into the 21st Century, the type finally being retired in September 2013.

Sopwith Batboat over the Medina

Making its first flight in March of 1913, the pioneering Bat-Boat was conceived and designed by T O M Sopwith and assembled at Sam Saunders' "Folly Sheds" on the River Medina near East Cowes, Isle of Wight. It went on to be Britain's first successful flying boat and the first amphibian to enter service with the RNAS at Calshot. It is shown here making a graceful turn above the Medina during an early test flight. Saunders' Columbine Yard and slipway can be seen beneath the tail of the Bat-Boat, the site later being developed as the Saunders-Roe Columbine Works where the mighty SR.45 Princess would be constructed and flown some 39 years later, continuing the company's heritage of innovative flying boat design.

SR45 Princess Over Cowes

The mighty ten-engined Princess flying boat was one of the most advanced aircraft of its day in terms of pressurized hull and assisted flying controls and yet it was, at the same time, something of an anachronism as the age of flying boats had come to an end and the exciting new jet era had arrived. The only SR.45 ever to fly is depicted over the Cowes works where she was built in 1952.

Tentative Steps

Designed and developed in the early 1950s by John Britten and Desmond Norman - the partnership that brought us the BN-2 Islander - the BN-1F was conceived as a light home-build single-seater parasol monoplane. It is pictured getting airborne from Bembridge as first flown with its original single-strut undercarriage, shorter span wing, smaller tail surfaces and JAP 36 engine. Following an accident when the engine cut shortly after take-off, the 'Finibee' was extensively rebuilt with numerous modifications and this version can be seen today on display at the Solent Sky Aviation Museum in Southampton.

The Best Fighting Unit in the LFT

During 1917, under the leadership of Hauptmann Godwin von Brumowski, Flik 41J was to become recognized as the finest of all the Fliegerkompanie in the Austro-Hungarian Army Air Service. With the superb Albatros D.III (Oef), the Luftfahrtruppen (LFT) were equipped to take on the enemy on equal terms, Brumowski himself scoring 35 confirmed victories against the combined forces of the Italians, British and French air forces. His red aircraft, serial No 153.45 dominates the foreground of the picture, whilst his great friend and fellow ace Frank Linke-Crawford holds station just behind him. Karl Kaszala and Rudolf Szepessi-Sokoll occupy the upper left of this scene.

The Final Flight

On 31st May 1954, Saunders-Roe's beautiful SR.45 Princess flying boat made her final flight, taking off from the Cowes Roads for a short test flight for radio checks and to investigate how the ten-engined giant responded to engine cuts. By all accounts, the tests passed without incident and this graceful machine returned to her slipway at the East Cowes works, never to take to the air again. Orders for this extraordinary aircraft failed to materialise and G-ALUN and her two sister airframes were eventually scrapped at Calshot.

The Long Way Home

On the night of 12/13th August 1942, Short Stirling RF325 was attacked by a Bf.110 night fighter over the Ardennes in Belgium whilst returning from a bombing raid. Damaged and low on fuel, Sqn Ldr G A Watt nursed his stricken aircraft across the English Channel before making a forced landing at Broadstairs in Kent. This was a scenario faced by hundreds of Bomber Command aircrew throughout World War II and this painting is intended as a tribute to them all, symbolising the loneliness and vulnerability of the heavy bomber as it went about its unenviable task on an almost nightly basis and in the face of impossible odds.

Viscount Outbound

First flown in 1948, the Vickers Viscount was the first turbopop commercial airliner to enter service anywhere in the world. Renowned for its comfort, quietness and large windows, it became one of the most successful and profitable aircraft of the post-war era. British European Airways added a large number of Viscounts to their fleet, starting in April 1953, the type continuing for many decades before being finally withdrawn from BEA's successor, British Airways, in the 1980s. Many examples continued to fly with other airlines and charter companies and several examples are preserved in museums.

The elegant D-13 was the ultimate example of Focke-Wulf's FW.190 to be powered by the Jumo 213EB inverted inline engine and is still widely regarded as one of the finest aircraft to have entered service with the Luftwaffe in WWII. Armed with three 20mm guns, one of them firing through the propeller spinner, this aircraft proved itself to be an effective weapon for Geschwader Kommodore Major Franz Gotz of JG.26, the great ace claiming 63 victories. His machine is depicted in close-up here - "Yellow 10", Werk No. 836017, based at Furstenau in February 1945.

A New Shape in the Sky

The Junkers Ju.287 V1 bomber prototype was a typical example of Germany's research into advanced aerodynamics at the end of World War II. Featuring forward swept wings and four Jumo 004B-1 Orkan axial-flow turbojets, this extraordinary aircraft made several successful flights before the project was curtailed by the war's end. RS+RA is shown on a test flight, carrying a cine camera in front of the fin to record airflow by means of wool tufts glued to the wings and fuselage sides. The characteristics of forward swept wings are only now being re-evaluated, 70 years after Junkers' first tentative steps into the unknown.

Fast and Furious

The outbreak of the Korean War in July 1950 saw the Royal Navy forced to put its newest aircraft procurements to the test, most of them refined developments of many of their WW2 types. Whilst the Supermarine Seafire FR.47s of the Fleet Air Arm were considered to be more effective at high altitude, the role of low-level ground attack fell to the remarkable Hawker Sea Fury whose great speed and manoeuvrability frequently frustrated the opposing MiGs. Here, two FB.11s of 802 Sqn, HMS Eagle, close for a strafing attack on a ground target in August, 1952.

Looking For Business, March 1918

Arguably the best known of all World War 1 fighter aces, Mannfred von Richthofen, the 'Red Baron', is depicted here flying Fokker Dr.1, serial No 425/17, in its final livery following the introduction of the Balkenkreuze, early in 1918. Contrary to popular belief, this was the only Triplane flown by the Rittmeister that was painted all red and was also the aircraft in which he lost his life on 21st April 1918, the celebrated ace having scored a confirmed 80 victories against allied aircraft over France. His brother, Lothar von Richthofen, also flew with Jasta 11 and his aircraft can be seen close by with the all-yellow rear fuselage. Pilots of von Richthofen's 'Flying Circus' were permitted to paint their aircraft in their own personal colours, provided that they retained the red cowl, struts and wheel covers that denoted Jasta 11.

The Young Stallion

Italy's highest-scoring flying ace of WW1 was Francesco Baracca, seen here on the morning of 3rd June 1917, claiming his 13th victim, a Hansa-Brandenburg C.1 two-seater of the Austro-Hungarian Army Air Force above the Isonzo River, near to Plava. His yellow Spad S.VII was easily identifiable by the elegant prancing horse emblem that was painted on the fuselage sides of all his aircraft. Having achieved a total of 34 aerial victories, Baracca was killed in action during the Battle of the Piave, his Spad being shot down by an enemy Phönix C.1 close to the Montello. When his body was recovered from the burned-out remains of his aircraft, he was found to have a bullet hole in his skull and his pistol in his hand. Whether he committed suicide to avoid burning to death or was shot after crashing is unknown. In 1923, Baracca's mother, Countess Paolina, donated the prancing horse emblem to Enzo Ferrari, whose cars have carried this iconic symbol ever since.

A New Sound in the Sky

It seems incredible to think that, as early as 1928, the brilliant young RAF cadet, Frank Whittle, first proposed his idea for what would eventually become known as the 'jet engine', and yet it would be another thirteen years - two years into WW2 - before the Air Ministry saw fit to invest money in the project. Eventually, the W.1 engine would come to fruition, producing 1000lbf (4kN) of thrust - modest in terms of output, but enough to power the Gloster E28 / 39 test aircraft on a series of spirited demonstration flights. The age of the jet had arrived.

The base was short-lived, opening in 1915 for anti-submarine patrols but, by 1920, it had served its purpose and was closed. Up to 190 men served here, most of them accommodated in the nearby Spithead Hotel. Both aircraft sheds were eventually dismantled and re-used - one becoming an amusement arcade on Shanklin seafront and the other a garage in Ryde. Also visible in this view is the Royal Spithead Hotel, Bembridge Station and the old jetty which, at deep water, could receive paddle steamers.

Bird of Prey

Early on the morning of 5th September 1917, five Albatros DIIIs of Jagdstaffel 2 'Boelcke' dived upon a small group of Bristol F2Bs of 48 Sqn as they patrolled the coast just north of Ostende, Belgium, resulting in a lurid dogfight that saw aircraft from both sides take heavy losses. Pictured is Ltn Franz Pernet's D.III as he lines up for his initial attack in the low morning sun.

Racing the Wind

Surely one of the most beautiful and elegant of all the clipper ships, Flying Cloud was launched on 15th April 1851 at the Boston yards of Donald Mackay. Designed to carry passengers as well as cargo, she proved to be a fast ship and was a common sight on the New York - San Francisco run, taking just 89 days to complete the trip on her maiden voyage, sailing right around South America and taking the notorious Cape Horn in her stride. Many more records fell to this legendary ship, her 23 year career coming to a sad end when she ran aground on Beacon Island whilst carrying a cargo of timber. Her remains were broken up in the harbour at St John when she was declared beyond economical repair.

SS Great Britain off Cowes

One of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's most elegant designs, the 322ft long SS Great Britain of 1843 was the first ocean-going vessel to be made entirely of metal and also the first to be propeller-driven. She enjoyed a long and varied career before being abandoned as a hulk in the Falkland Islands at the end of the 1800s. In 1970, she was brought home to Bristol where she was fully restored and can be visited today. She is depicted in the Cowes Roads after her epic rounding of The Lizard on her maiden voyage, during which she had encountered - and survived - a violent storm.

SS Great Eastern

Intended for the passenger and cargo trade between England and Ceylon, Brunel's SS Great Eastern was, in her day, easily the largest ship ever built at almost 700ft in length and with a displacement of 22,500 tons. So big was this mighty vessel that huge problems were encountered simply trying to launch her after completion, it being another three months after her christening before she actually entered the water, the delays and extra costs bankrupting the company in the process. After more delays and mishaps and under new ownership, she eventually reached New York in 1859 to promote a new, fast, trans-Atlantic service. Hampered by increasing costs and lack of investment, the Great Eastern never fulfilled her potential as a passenger ship, but eventually found her niche as a cable-laying ship, establishing the first direct communication link between the UK and America in 1866. Further cables were laid between Europe and the New World and a another across the Indian Ocean. Various un-glamorous roles saw her employed until 1886, this magnificent ship finally being broken up at Liverpool over the following two years.

Under Bare Poles - HMS Vanguard Enters the Great Storm off Toulon, 20th May 1798

Having left Spithead with a convoy bound for Lisbon in April 1798, the refitted HMS Vanguard, carrying the flag of Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, encountered a terrible storm off Toulon. As the storm raged, just a single main storm coarse was set, but the terrible stresses and strains placed upon the upper masts eventually caused the main topmast to break and fall, taking with it some men that had been sent up to recover the upper canvas. For Vanguard, now proving difficult to control in the mountainous seas, worse was to follow as her foremast snapped just above the deck and went over the side, damaging the bowsprit and forcing one of her massive anchors to thrash against the side of the hull.

At great length, the ship was eventually brought under control and was able to struggle on to find refuge along the Corsican coast where, having found her two escorts, her crew repaired her and made her ready for sea in the remarkable time of just four days. With masts, yards and rigging borrowed from spares carried on the Orion and Alexander, Nelson's flagship continued its mission and, in this repaired state, led his squadron to a resounding victory at the Battle of the Nile on 1st & 2nd August 1798.

The Temeraire's Last Journey

Few ships have been immortalised in art more than HMS Temeraire, a 98-gun veteran of the Battle of Trafalgar and iconic subject of JMW Turner's memorable painting. Although one of the finest paintings ever produced, it is known that Turner's version of this magnificent old ship's voyage to the breaker's yard is pure whimsy, composed to inspire pride and sentiment in equal parts.

This painting is, perhaps, a more truthful rendering of the same scene. Here, the mighty Temeraire is reduced to a floating hulk, stripped of her masts, bowsprit and rigging, her bitumen-coated hull gutted of anything useful.

It is 7.30am on 5th September 1838. As the tide is judged to be just right, the steam tugs Sampson and Newcastle, piloted by William Scott and a crew of 25, take up the strain of the Temeraire's 2,121 tons to begin the slow journey from Sheerness to Rotherhithe, where she will be slowly taken to pieces at the yard of John Beatson. Whilst HMS Victory stands today in all her magnificence at Portsmouth, barely a trace of the ship that came to her rescue at Trafalgar exists.

Built by Walter Hood at his Aberdeen yard in 1870, Sea Witch was slightly wider in the beam than many of her rival clippers but was still a sleek and fast vessel - not surprising as her builders had launched the clipper Thermopylae from the same shipyard just two years previously, their great experience in producing fast, ocean-going sailing vessels ensuring a pedigree lineage. Sea Witch carried both tea and cotton among her many payloads before being wrecked beyond economical repair on a ledge off the coast of New Brunswick in 1897.

The Good Old Temeraire

The hero of Trafalgar, HMS Temeraire, is depicted here at sea as she was originally constructed, with her simple scroll figurehead, and the yellow hull that was typical of the period. She has her studding sails set on the mainmast to help make all speed as she punches through the heavy swell of the English Channel. For Trafalgar, Temeraire was repainted with the 'Nelson Chequer' pattern that can be seen on HMS Victory today, this magnificent ship coming to the latter's rescue whilst fighting on with a prize lashed to each of her sides. Post Trafalgar, her crew raised enough money from their prizes to have a new figurehead carved which she carried proudly even to the scrap yard at Rotherhithe in 1838, where she was broken up.

A Moment's Peace

Much has been written of the great friendship shared by Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson and Captain Thomas Hardy. They had served together at most of Nelson's major battles including the Nile, Copenhagen, Cape St Vincent and, most notably, at Trafalgar where Hardy comforted his dying companion in the cockpit of HMS Victory. They are depicted here for the first time on the quarter deck of HMS Victory, sharing a light hearted moment before the last great battle. Nelson is dressed in the full Admiral's uniform and decorations that he insisted he wear at Trafalgar, together with his unique bicorn hat with the green sunshade stitched into its rim to protect his damaged right eye from the glare of the sun. The painting highlights the great difference in the physical stature of each man - Lord Nelson standing just 5ft 5in tall, compared to Hardy, who was over 6ft. Whilst Nelson lost his life at Trafalgar in 1805, Hardy lived a long and full life until his final passing in 1839, aged 70 years.

On 9th July 1916, with Captain Paul Koenig in command, the German merchant submarine Deutschland entered Baltimore Harbour after a 16-day crossing of the Atlantic from Bremerhaven on a peaceful trade mission and was greeted by a flotilla of tugs and small sight-seeing vessels. Upon arrival in the bay, the German merchant flag was hoisted and many of her 29 crew appeared on her narrow deck to enjoy the moment. The visit was greeted with considerable controversy at the time, given that Europe was at this time at war with Germany, but this unusual event passed peacefully with Deutschland returning home safely the following month.

Exercise Tiger

As part of a rehearsal for the impending D-Day landings on 6th June 1944, eight tank landing ships (LSTs), together with two destroyers, embarked most of their American troops on a British beach and began making their way to Slapton Sands. This was the night of 27th / 28th April and, unseen in the darkness of the night, a hunting party of German Schnellboots (S-Boats) were soon upon them. The painting depicts the awful demise of LST 507 who fell victim to the torpedoes of S-150 and S-130, the huge ship's cargo of trucks, jeeps and gasoline quickly bursting into an uncontrollable fire before she slipped beneath the waves. LST 531 was also sunk while LST 289 managed to struggle back to port. 197 American seamen and 441 GIs lost their lives on that fateful night, while all the Schnellboots returned safely, undamaged.

The Wreck of the Irex, Scratchell's Bay, Isle of Wight

Having set off for Rio de Janeiro from Greenock on Christmas Eve 1889, the ill-fated Irex sought shelter during violent storms in Falmouth one month later but, unable to enter the harbour, she pressed on to Portland. Due to a navigational error Irex found herself just yards south of the Needles rocks and immediately beached in Scratchell's Bay at about 10.00pm. The following day soldiers of the Needles Battery alerted the Totland lifeboat, the Charles Luckombe, which took until mid-morning to arrive on the scene, by which time the Captain, Boatswain and First Mate of the Irex had all gone missing, presumed swept overboard by the mountainous waves that lashed the ship. Despite numerous efforts involving unimaginable bravery by a steam collier, the Hampshire, and the Charles Luckombe, rescue attempts were abandoned. At 1.15pm, the coastguard established a line by firing a rocket from the cliffs above and the remaining 36 crew of the Irex were safely winched to the cliff top by Breeches buoy.

Recovering the Lifeboat Susan Ashley

With the lifeboat station positioned on the cliff top at Brook, a team of up to ten horses were required to drag the lifeboat down Brook Chine to the beach on its carriage, the horses then driven into the sea until the boat became buoyant. Upon the return of the Susan Ashley, the horses were even more reluctant to be herded into the freezing sea to recover the boat onto its carriage before the long haul back up the Chine to their stables. Incredibly, the Susan Ashley served the RNLI right up until 1937 when the first motor life boats took over, based at Yarmouth and Bembridge. The new, faster boats negated the need for stations at Totland, Brook and Atherfield and this chapter of maritime history closed forever. The Susan Ashley remains to this day at Chatham Dockyard.

The Austrian Grand Prix at the Österreichring in 1978 was conducted under heavy skies that threatened rain at some point during the race. Having qualified on pole, the Swede Ronnie Peterson made a textbook start in his Lotus Cosworth 79, but his team mate, Mario Andretti, did not get away so well and it was Carlos Reutemann's Ferrari that assumed second place on the run up the steep hill from the start. The cold conditions meant that grip was poor and several cars found themselves in the barrier before the race was finally stopped, due to a torrential downpour. At the restart, Peterson again assumed a dominant lead, claiming his last victory ahead of Patrick Depailler's Tyrrell Cosworth and Gilles Villeneuve's Ferrari.

Freshwater Station

Opened on 20th July 1889, Freshwater Station was the terminus of the line west from Newport and went through a number of changes before closure in September 1953. The station building remained for a few years after closure before being demolished to make way for a small factory and latterly a supermarket. The signal box, however, has survived to the present day and is now situated at Wootton as part of the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.

Blackwater Station

The winter of 1955 was one of the coldest in recent memory. Even the Isle of Wight found itself snowbound, but the expanding bus service and ever-reliable rail network ensured that people could still get around. Here, a Bristol Lodekka Mk1 takes the level crossing at Blackwater as the Stationmaster awaits a train from nearby Shide, bound for Merstone and Sandown. By the winter of 1956, the station was closed forever.

Alverstone Station

In June 1876, Alverstone Station appeared on a public timetable for the first time, even though the line between Newport and Sandown had opened the previous year. This scene shows the station building and level crossing after a shower of rain in the early 1950s. In 1956, this line, like so much of the Isle of Wight railway network, was closed forever.

Resplendent in the British Railway's malachite green livery, 02 class 0-4-4T No31 Chale has just arrived with a train from Cowes in the summer of 1948, en route to Sandown. The remote location of this station meant that it never generated much revenue, but served as the vital interchange for the Sandown and Ventnor West lines until the closure of the whole line on 6th February 1956.

All Change for Ventnor West

By the early 1950s, the writing was already on the wall for the closure of the Newport to Ventnor West line but, despite the abandonment of the Isle of Wight's southernmost route, Merstone Station stayed open until 6th February 1956 to serve trains passing through to Ventnor's main terminus, via Sandown, Shanklin and Wroxall. Here an 02T comes to rest with a train from Newport in the summer of 1951.

St Helens Quay

Once a thriving harbour complex for goods and rolling stock arriving by sea, St Helens Quay is virtually unrecognisable today as all vestiges of its industrious past have been swept away and replaced by modern marinas and new housing. In this view, looking west along the South Quay, St Helens station can just be discerned above the roof of the Goods Offices and the gas works and gasometer can be seen between the jibs of the steam cranes. There is a selection of rolling stock on the far quay and the centre is dominated by the green-painted Transit Shed. The disused watermill dominates the right hand side of the picture, this iconic building being demolished in 1969 and replaced by a private dwelling.

Bembridge Point, 1917

As the afternoon sun breaks through an overcast sky, handling crews from RNAS Bembridge manoeuvre a Wight Converted seaplane in the water, ready for take off. The base was short-lived, opening in 1915 for anti-submarine patrols but, by 1920, it had served its purpose and was closed. Up to 190 men served here, most of them accommodated in the nearby Spithead Hotel. Both aircraft sheds were eventually dismantled and re-used - one becoming an amusement arcade on Shanklin seafront and the other a garage in Ryde. Also visible in this view is the Royal Spithead Hotel, Bembridge Station and the old jetty which, at deep water, could receive paddle steamers.

Smithard's Lane Crossing, Cowes

Probably armed with the knowledge that the sights and sounds of the steam era on the Isle of Wight were numbered, a small boy watches as 0-2 No18 'Ningwood' passes between the last remaining crossing gates on the Island in 1965. By February of the following year, the line was closed to passengers and both nearby stations, Cowes Terminus and Mill Hill, fell into disrepair and were eventually demolished.

Shide Station

Opened on 1st February 1875, Shide was, for a short time, the terminus of the line from Sandown until the permanent way was extended into central Newport via Pan and Coppins Bridge. In February 1956, Shide Station closed for the final time and was later demolished, leaving virtually no trace, the river being diverted to run where the railway line once lay. Here, O2-T No 28 'Ashey' approaches the platform with a two-coach train from Newport after a brief rainstorm in 1955.

Station Master William Henley waits on the platform to greet namesake 02-T No 24 'Calbourne' with a train bound for Freshwater in the late 1930s. Situated approximately half way between the villages of Calbourne and Shalfleet, the station was made up of a mixture of buildings, among them the corrugated iron ticket office that had been moved from the FYNR station at Newport when it closed in 1923. Calbourne itself was to close forever in October 1953.

Wootton Station

Virtually no evidence remains of the original Wootton Station, although a new station platform has been constructed on the opposite side of the raised road to serve the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. Accessed by a steep path from Station Road, Wootton was to face early closure on 29th September 1953, largely due to subsidence which continued to plague the site right up until the eventual closure of the Newport - Ryde line in 1966 when the entire viaduct was filled in and the track bed turned into a cycle path.

Enigma

Thought to be unbreakable, even with a comprehensive knowledge of the workings of this ingenious machine, Germany's complex Enigma codes were finally toppled by the British thanks to the tireless work and sheer genius of the mathematician Alan Turing. The work done by Turing and his colleagues at Bletchley Park brought cryptology into the modern world, embracing ingenious logic, statistical theory, advanced technology and superb organisation. It was Turing, in association with another Cambridge mathematician, Gordon Welchman, who produced the 'Bombe', a brilliant piece of engineering that could crack any Enigma-enciphered message and which changed the direction of World War II in favour of the Allies, whilst at the same time heralding a new era of computing that led directly to the technology that we enjoy today.

Following the launch of the first component of the International Space Station (ISS) in 1998, this microgravity and space environment research laboratory has continued to grow, the whole being made up of a number of pressurised modules, solar arrays and a variety of other components. Aside from accommodation, there are laboratories for experiments in biology, physics, meteorology, the study of deep space and research related to future missions to the Moon and Mars. The ISS is easily the largest man-made object orbiting the Earth, which it does 15.54 times per day at an altitude that can vary between 330 and 435 km and can be clearly seen from Earth with the naked eye.

Bluebird CN-7

Following an horrific crash during a high speed run at Bonneville in 1960, Bluebird CN7 was completely rebuilt for a further attempt at the Land Speed Record in 1963. The salt flats of Lake Eyre had not experienced rain in over 20 years and yet, as Campbell prepared for his record breaking attempt, rain began to fall so hard that the car had to be rescued from the rising floods and the attempt was abandoned. Returning again in 1964, Donald Campbell at last set a new Land Speed Record of 403.1 mph, although Campbell himself was disappointed with the result. With the salt flats no longer as hard as they had been before the rains of 1963, Bluebird did not live up to its anticipated maximum speed of 500mph.

Sadly, whilst making a bid for his eighth water speed record, K7 became airborne, flipped and crashed, killing Campbell instantly.

Brave New World

Designed by Christopher Cockerell and built at the Saunders-Roe works at East Cowes, Isle of Wight, under the auspices of the National Research Development Corporation (NRDC) the SRN.1 was the first true hovercraft, a completely new concept that allowed a vehicle to transit between water and land without the need for any floatation or wheeled beaching gear. When first demonstrated to an astounded press in June 1959, this diminutive little craft hovered above the slipway, then slipped effortlessly into the water where it impressed further with its agility. Powered by an Alvis Leonides radial piston engine, the SRN.1 crossed the English Channel in July 1959 from Calais to Dover in just 2 hours and 3 minutes, proving beyond all doubt that the hovercraft was a viable and effective means of transport for the future. It is depicted here in the Medina Estuary in its early form with the Saunders-Roe works in the background.
