A 1:48 SCALE ADMIRALTY DOCKYARD OR NAVY BOARD MODEL FOR AN UNIDENTIFIED TWO-MASTED 8-GUN VESSEL OF CIRCA 1720, constructed in boxwood with exposed frames below ebonised wales and scored planking with trenails over, tapering rudder, chain plates with deadeyes, Venetian Red gun port lids, swivel gun mounts, finely carved figurehead in the form of Neptune, delicately painted eggshell blue scrollwork bulwarks and catheads with sheaths, carved quarter badges and stern, semi-open decks with fittings including belaying rail with pins, windlass, capstan, covered hatches, cleats, bilge pumps, poop rail and companionways, great cabin with compass rose parquetry floor, and keel with mast steps etc., mounted on two wooden balustrades with tapered steel side supports within late 19th-Century glazed display case with mirrored back and side panels (missing taffrail, part of the head and head rails, loose companionway and knee within, dust and wear; cases back mirror broken). Model overall -- 6 x 22in. (15 x 56); Case -- 11 x 26 x 7½in. (28 x 66 x 19cm.), Provenance: English private owners from the first half 19th-Century and thence by descent. This model enjoys several distinctive features which suggest it is probably a unique example. Apparently unlisted and of a hybrid design, it is possible that it was built as a private commission for an important official, either as a proposal or one that was intended for private use. The most immediately distinctive feature is the delicately-carved figurehead of Neptune - all the known “Neptunes” are large ships of the line and not small craft. It is thought that the Admiralty were beginning to experiment with character heads on small 5th and 6th Rates around 1720 so it is not impossible to extend that to an 8-gun vessel; alternatively, were this a proposal model it would seem probable that a simple billet head, or perhaps the usual Lion, would be used, that it’s a character head on such a small craft is rare. It is possible that this hybrid design might have been considered for a small class -- an early “Neptune” class perhaps, but which remained a proposal (latterly there was a “Neptune” class of 1st Rates built from 1790); alternatively, if it represents a one-off commission for a wealthy naval dignitary, it may incorporate part of his Grant of Arms. The distribution of the gun ports is also unusual - six in the stern and two forwards providing for a very long deck with shallow bulwarks (often associated with bomb ketches) and, most unusually, a capstan and windlass almost side-by-side. The mast distribution suggests it may have been rigged as a snow and, with a comparatively shallow draft carrying a large sail area, it should have been a fast sailer - ideal for ferrying the new Hanoverian monarchs’ officials over the English Channel and North Sea perhaps? The loss of the taffrail carvings in the late 19th-Century is a great shame as these may have held additional clues, and it is thought that after suffering this accident it was placed in the overly-tight case.

WWII the Siege of Malta a highly important official British report on the Siege of Malta chronicling the events from June 1941 through to July 1942^ and providing detailed information on the bombing by the German Luftwaffe and the response by the Allied Garrisons and the RAF based on the island^ as well as the response of the people of Malta throughout the continuing siege. The report is typed on 34pp foolscap and includes details on casualties^ bomb tonnages dropped by the Germans^ enemy aircraft destroyed by both the artillery on the ground and the RAF in the air^ the number of RAF fighter sorties and a comprehensive digest of other information including even the numbers of unexploded bombs dealt with each week throughout the siege. This highly important document is considered the only extant copy of this official report. It was prepared by the British Army^ and was typed by the present vendors father^ who against all regulations made this copy for him own personal interest. Had he been discovered doing this at the time he would have inevitably faced court martial. The report contains a number of comments which were considered disparaging both of the high command and also of the Maltese people^ and in view of this^ the official copy was ordered to be destroyed. This destruction was carried out by the present vendors father^ but he kept his own copy the present lot and thus this is the only copy extant. The document will doubtless provide considerable possibly new information on what has become one of the most famous and heroic defences in the history of military warfare for which the Island and its people were uniquely granted the George Cross.

Murphy R.A.F.), light scratches, otherwise good very fine, mounted as originally worn (2) G.M. London Gazette 4.10.1957 2452756 Acting Corporal Brian Murphy, Royal Air Force, 'On 5th April, 1957, a Canberra aircraft caught fire in a servicing hangar at the Royal Air Force Station, Coningsby. Corporal Murphy was in charge of the Duty Fire Crew which was called upon to deal with the fire. One of the aircraft's fuel tanks was alight and apart from the risk of this tank exploding the presence of 800 gallons of volatile fuel in the adjoining tanks made the situation extremely dangerous. Corporal Murphy, however, unhesitatingly led his crew into the confined space of the aircraft's bomb bay, from which, had there been an explosion, escape would have been virtually impossible. While operating in this dangerous situation, Corporal Murphy and his crew were subjected to further hazard by the explosion of powerful starter cartridges stored a few feet away, which blasted a hole in the fuselage and so caused the fire to spread rapidly in all directions. Despite this, and the increased risk of the fuel tanks exploding, Corporal Murphy remained at his post, though his overalls and uniform were charred by intense heat. Corporal Murphy displayed courage and extreme devotion to duty, and by sustained effort in the face of great danger he and his crew succeeded in localising and controlling the fire while adjacent aircraft and equipment were removed from the vicinity.'Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

His subsequent initiative and resource in organising into a convoy those scattered ships which had reached Matochkin Strait and bringing so many of them safely to Iokanki despite heavy air attacks was a most valuable achievement deserving of recognition.'D.S.O. Second Award Bar London Gazette 23.5.1944 Acting Captain John Henry Jauncey, D.S.O., Royal Navy (Retired)'For outstanding courage, resolution, leadership, skill or devotion to duty in operations which led to successful landings on the Italian mainland and at Salerno.'The Recommendation, dated 24.12.1943, states: 'For skill, gallantry, and devotion to duty as Commanding Officer of H.M.S. Palomares during operations in the Mediterranean. The Palomares took part in the initial Torch operation. She was bombed and damaged on 9th November, 1942 off Algiers and suffered many casualties. Her steering gear was put out of action and fire started. Despite this gun crews continued firing and the ship was finally brought into Algiers harbour. After repairs in the U.K. Palomares returned to the Mediterranean where she has been continuously employed as an Anti-Aircraft ship for through Mediterranean convoys. Palomares took part in Avalanche, operating as Fire Defence and Anti-Aircraft ship for the Southern Attack Force. She claims four aircraft shot down during this operation.'Captain John Henry Jauncey, D.S.O., (1889-1958), was born in Eastbourne, Sussex, the son of Commander H.H. Jauncey, R.N. and Blanche Pringle, and was educated at H.M.S. Britannia. Appointed Midshipman, 15.9.1905, he served before the Great War in H.M.S. Triumph and later in H.M.S. Swiftsure. Commissioned Sub-Lieutenant, 30.12.1908, he was promoted Lieutenant, 22.6.1911, serving in H.M.S. Blenheim. During the Great War he served in the Dover Patrol, escorting the convoys of ships backwards and forwards to France supplying the British Armies on the Western Front, and received his first command, H.M.S. Flying Fish, 24.10.1915, transferring to the torpedo boat P.12, 10.2.1916. In December 1916, whilst in command of the P.12 and on escort duty he helped save the life of a number of the crew of the French Destroyer Yatagan after she had collided with H.M.S. Teviot in thick fog during the night of 3-4.12.1916 off the coast of Dieppe, for which he was awarded the Naval Life Saving Medal by the French Government in appreciation of services rendered.Promoted Lieutenant-Commander, 2.6.1919, Jauncey continued to serve in Destroyers, before being appointed Officer Instructor, East Scottish Division, R.N.V.R., 15.8.1927, he retired with the rank of Commander, 15.4.1932. On the outbreak of the Second World War he was called back to the Navy, and in the summer of 1940 was appointed to the command of H.M.S. Versatile (Destroyer). 'Her role was to escort the coal convoys supplying English power stations from Methil in the Firth of Forth to Sheerness in the Thames Estuary. This involved passing through the notorious 'E' boat Alley off the East Anglian coast where these German high speed motor torpedo boats based in Holland and Belgium as well as aircraft attacked these convoys. The Versatile saw a fair amount of action and the newspapers recorded that on one occasion she shot down a Messerschmitt fighter/bomber hitting it full in the nose. This class of destroyer required to have her boilers cleaned regularly to maintain her performance and during boiler cleans short leave was usually granted to the ship's company. This created a problem because there were a number of Glaswegians on board who reckoned that a spell in jail for desertion was a more comfortable form of existence than life on the mess-deck of a 1918 destroyer in the North Sea. The normal drill was that deserters were brought back to the ship, then court-martialled and duly sent to Barlinnie. The ship was very short-handed and the loss of every man threw an extra burden on the remainder of the crew. Jauncey therefore decided to solve the problem in his own way. When a deserter was brought back to the ship instead of passing him on for court-martial he had him secured to a stanchion in the mess-deck by a long chain enduring the taunts and insults of his messmates. As soon as the ship left harbour he was released. This unorthodox treatment which could have got him into severe trouble with the authorities was most effective and deserters ceased to present a problem.' (Account written by the recipient's son refers).Convoy P.Q.17Appointed to the command of H.M.S. Palomares (Anti-Aircraft ship), with the acting rank of Captain, 30.4.1941, Jauncey spent the next year based in the Irish Sea, escorting convoys between Belfast and Milford Haven, and providing anti-aircraft fire cover. In early June 1942 the Palomares sailed for Seydisfiord in Iceland and on the 27th June she was sailed from Hvalfiord, attached to a convoy of 34 merchant ships destined for Archangel. The Russian convoy routes, in contrast to the complete freedom of movement of the Atlantic routes, were restricted to the east and south by an enemy-occupied coastline and to the west and north by ice. The convoys themselves were subject to attack by surface forces over a large part of their 2,000-mile passage, to air attack for 1,400 miles, and to U-boat attack throughout their entire run. The severe Arctic weather added to their navigational difficulties during winter months, and they ran a greater risk of attack between March and September owing to the continuous daylight. The convoy escort consisted of 6 destroyers, 4 corvettes, 3 minesweepers, 4 trawlers, 2 anti-aircraft ships and 2 submarines. The convoy was first spotted by enemy aircraft and U-boats on the 1st July, and therefore was shadowed and attacked continuously. On the 4th July the Admiralty inexplicably ordered the convoy to scatter, the consequences of which were disastrous, leading ultimately to 23 of the 34 merchant ships which had left Iceland being sunk, with the loss in material amounting to 3350 vehicles, 430 tanks, and 210 aircraft. The Palomares reached the Matochkin Strait in Nova Zemlaya, some 500 miles NE of Archangel where she was joined by a number of other ships which had survived. After some days a small convoy with Jauncey as the senior officer of the escort sailed for Archangel. They came under heavy air attack and two more out of the five merchant ships in the convoy were sunk. By the time the Palomares reached Archangel she had virtually expended all her ammunition, as had all the other escorts, and four destroyers had to be sent out from the United Kingdom with ammunition for the escorts to make the return journey. Churchill called the episode 'one of the most melancholy naval episodes in the whole of the War.' The Palomares spent two months in Archangel and finally returned to Belfast in September 1942. For his 'bravery and resolution in the face of relentless attack by enemy aircraft and submarines', Jauncey was awarded the Distinguished Service Order.Operation 'Avalanche'In late October the Palomares sailed to the Mediterranean to take part in Operation 'Torch', the joint British/American landing in French North Africa, 7.11.1942. While stationed off the Tunisian coast she was hit astern by a bomb which caused a number of casualties, a fire which raged for several hours, and damage to her steering gear. She limped into Algiers where temporary repairs were effected which enabled her to return to Tilbury in early 1943 for permanent repairs. She returned to the Mediterranean in time for Operation 'Avalanche', the Allied landings at Salerno, south of Naples, 9.9.1943, where she provided anti-aircraft fire, and was heavily engaged with German aircraft during the landings. For his 'outstanding courage, resolution, leadership skill and devotion to duty' Jauncey was awarded a Second Award Bar to his Distinguished Service Order. He also received the thanks of the Commander of the United States Naval Forces, Admiral H.K. Hewitt, who wrote: 'Your outstanding performance of duty as Commanding Officer of H.M.S. Palomares during the amphibious invasion of Italy is worthy of the highest praise. Your command, which was assigned as a unit in the Attack Force to provide anti-aircraft protection for the flagship of the Task Force Commander and other ships of the Control Group, performed its task in a highly satisfactory and effective manner. You handled your ship expertly and directed heavy, accurate fire on all attacking enemy planes throughout the critical period of the assault operations. You contributed materially to the defense against continuing enemy air attack on shipping which was vital to the support of the invasion forces. I wish to express my appreciation of your dependable services and great assistance in bringing these operations to a successful conclusion.'The Palomares remained in the Mediterranean and took part in Operation 'Shingle', the landings at Anzio, 22.1.1944, where she was mined and once again severely damaged.In July 1944 Jauncey was appointed Captain at Greenock, a shore-based appointment which gave him command of the Clyde Escort Force which consisted of destroyers and other escort vessels escorting convoys from and to the Atlantic, and appointment he held for the rest of the War. On the conclusion of hostilities he served for a further 14 months, first as Naval Officer in Charge, Falmouth, and then as Captain of the battle cruiser H.M.S. Renown which was used as an accommodation ship at Plymouth, finally retiring with the rank of Captain, 8.10.1946.Sub-Lieutenant Charles Eliot, Baron Jauncey of Tullichettle, (1925-2007), was born in Edinburgh, the son of Captain J.H. Jauncey and Muriel Dundas, and was educated at Radley and Christ Church, Oxford. Commissioned Sub-Lieutenant, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, 8.5.1945, he served during the Second World War in H.M.S. ML.879. Called to the Scottish Bar in 1949, he was employed as standing junior counsel to the Scottish Ministry of Works in Coronation Year 1953. Appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1963, he became a Senator of the College of Justice in Scotland in 1979, and a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary (Law Lord) in 1988.

"STUART REID (Australian) (1883-1971) An FB5 attacking an Aviatik German observation aircraft, World War One, signed ‘Stuart Reid’ (lower left), oil on canvas 16 x 20in (40.6 x 50.8cm). The subject is believed to depict 2nd Lieutenant Gilbert Stuart Insall, V.C., M.C., (No II Squadron RFC) on the occasion of him winning the Victoria Cross, on 7th November 1915 near Achiet, France. Provenance: Formerly in the collection of the Insall family. Thence to the current vendor. On 2nd November 1915 Insall had taken off from Villers Bretonneux aerodrome, flying with his observer. They attacked an Aviatak near Achiet le Grand, and forced it to crash land near Arras. Ignoring ground fire including shots from the enemy aircrew, at whom they returned fire (sending them fleeing from their aeroplane), Insall descended to drop a small incendiary bomb which set the Aviatik on fire. On their way home they also strafed the German trenches, but return fire holed their petrol tank. Insall was forced to land near a wood 500 yards inside the allied lines, where they were subjected to well directed enemy artillery shells. Working through the night by torchlight, Insall and his observer managed to repair their machine under fire. At dawn they somehow took off and managed to return safely to their home airbase. "
