A pair of Watercolours celebrating the destruction of the first two Rigid Airships by British Aircraft. “Lieut. Reginald Alexander J Warneford (RNAS)” and “Lieut Willian Leefe-Robinson”. Mounted framed and glazed watercolour, showing the destruction of the German Army Airship LZ37 near Ghent in Belgium, on 7 June 1915. The painting is undated but probably post 1979, and is in strong colours; it depicts Warneford in his Morane Monoplane centre right of the picture, with the LZ37 falling in flames behind him. The painting is signed at bottom right “Phil May”*. On the mounting, there has been pasted a newspaper photograph of Warneford, while at the bottom centre is pasted a printed legend reading “Lieut Reginald Alexander J Warneford (RNAS) was awarded the VC for the destruction of the German Airship LZ37 over Ghent, Flying a Morane Saulnier Type L on 7th June, 1915.”. To the reverse is a book review for the book “Warneford VC” by Mary Gibson.Reginald “Rex” Warneford was the first pilot to bring down a Zeppelin and was awarded both the VC and the French Legion of Honour. Ten days later, Warneford died in a flying accident. Also a painting by the same artist depicting the destruction of the German Navy Airship SL11 on 3rd September 1916 by Lieutenant Leefe-Robinson. SL11 was the first of the German Rigid Airships brought down over England, after many months of seeming immunity from British defences. On the evening of 3rd September 1916, SL11 under the command of Hauptman Wilhelm Schramm, was one of 16 German Airships that raided England. Leefe-Robinson was on patrol in his Be2c and after making two attacks on SL11 to no effect, he positioned himself behind the ship firing the entire contents of his last drum of ammunition into a single area. A glow, deep within the hull of the airship, was followed moments later by fire engulfing the tail section of the airship. To the sounds of cheering, singing and unalloyed joy, SL11 came to earth near the village of Cuffley. For his efforts, Leefe-Robinson was awarded the VC. Captured later in the war, Leefe-Robinson succumbed to the influenza on 31 December 1918, shortly after his repatriation. See Plate 2

A pair of original watercolours of Submarine Scout Airships. Painted on card (29cmx14cm), these two lovely water colour sketches are signed “Goddard”, both paintings are simple but beautifully executed. The first shows a simple side view of a Submarine Scout, bows to the left of the picture, wearing French Colours at the stern; the car is a pusher configuration. The legend at the lower left of the painting reads “French Army Airship F14 at the Isle of Grain RNAS 1915. Goddard”. The second painting shows a side view of SST 11 (Submarine Scout (Twin) No11), bows to the right of the picture. The airship is emblazoned with her Number, and the British roundels at the bow and on the lower and side fins; the legend at the lower right of the painting reads “SST 11. Hoo 1916. Goddard” Several minor marks caused by liquid drops in the distant past. See Plate 6 Note: It is believed that the Artist is Victor Goddard who joined the RNAS in 1915, serving in dirigibles. Goddard later became Sir Victor Goddard, retiring from the RAF in 1951 after a distinguished career. He retained a lifelong interest in Airships, serving as the President of the Airship Association from 1975 to 1984.
