* Sold on behalf of the Royal Air Force Bomber Command Remembrance Fund, A collection of POW watercolours presented to Group Captain W.D.G. 'Four-Run' Watkins, Royal Air Force A brown card folder printed 'Block for Frihandsteckning' 8 blad, enclosing 5 original POW drawings, including, Plunkett (Desmond, 1916-2002). Martin Mariner seaplane, watercolour on paper, signed and dated 18 April 1945 lower right, image size, 17 x 23.5cm, inscribed verso Stalag Luft I. Barth, Germany and with 20 names and addresses of POWs including Plunkett; another list of 18 POWs from Squadron 10 Room II; a pencil drawing of the Market with St. Marienkirche, Barth with Luftwaffe eagle and swastika above with a three-part scroll inscribed 'Tethered but not Tamed', the scroll beneath inscribed 'Stalag Luft 1 Barth Germany, inscribed to verso 'To W/C Watkins Best Wishes Room 2. Squadron 10', sheet size 32 x 25cm .Qty: (5)NOTESGroup Captain W. D. G. ‘Four-Run’ Watkins, Royal Air Force, served as a Gunner in the Royal Artillery (Territorial Army) from 1929, he joined the R.A.F. in 1936 as an Armourer and at the outbreak of WWII was serving as an Air Observer with 75 (New Zealand) Squadron. Serving with 149 Squadron in 1940, he was awarded the D.F.M. and was commissioned in September of that year. Mentioned in Despatches the following year, for his exceptional bomb aiming and navigation skill during his second tour Watkins was awarded the D.F.C. in 1942. A third tour as Air Bomber with 214 Squadron followed in 1943, after which he was appointed Acting Wing Commander and in 1944 he commenced a fourth tour as Commanding Officer of 15 Squadron; possibly the first such appointment for an Observer. At times serving as Master Bomber, Watkins was shot down over Germany in November 1944. Bailing out with his clothes and parachute on fire, he was taken prisoner, being held at Stalag Luft 1 as the highest ranking British Officer, until released in May 1945. By early 1947 Watkins had logged an incredible 600 plus operational and over 400 passenger hours, and his four War-time tours would equate to approximately 120 bombing operations. Post War, he continued to serve, with Testing and Armaments, ultimately attaining the rank of Group Captain. Watkins earned himself the nickname "Four-Run" because he was so dedicated to his task he would make four runs over heavily defended targets ahead of dropping bombs. The watercolour of the Martin Mariner included in this lot was painted by Flight Lieutenant Desmond Plunkett who was mapmaker for the Great Escape which was immortalised in the Steve McQueen film. 76 prisoners got through a 360ft tunnel from Stalag Luft III camp on 23 March 1944. Plunkett was one of 73 men to be recaptured and was held in solitary confinement for seven months. However, he avoided the fate of 50 of the escapees, who were executed by the Gestapo on the direct orders of the Fuhrer. Plunkett ended up in SL1 where he met Watkins who was SBO in his barracks. The Martin Mariner was one of the less common aircraft used in WWII. Group Captain Watkins medal group was sold at DNW, London on 17 September 2020 (Lot 7).

Wallis (Barnes Neville, 1887-1979). The Dam Busters by Paul Brickhill, with a Foreword by Marshal of the Royal Air Force Lord Tedder, 1st edition, Evans Brothers Limited, 1951, black and white plates from photographs, neat pencil notes by Barnes Wallis’s wife Molly to margins of pp. 32, 35, 37, 68, 104, 167 and 199, author’s signed presentation inscription to front free endpaper, ‘For Barnes Wallis - Without whom there would have been no squadron [617 Squadron] and no book. With warmest regards, Paul Brickhill, London, Oct. 1951’, small news cutting to front pastedown with a picture showing the breach in the Moehne dam from a photograph taken by a German soldier the morning after the raid, original cloth gilt, slightly rubbed, spine faded at tips, dust jacket rubbed and a little soiled, frayed at head and foot of spine with slight loss at head, lower portion of spine detached and later held with tape repairs to verso at head and foot, 8voQty: (1)NOTESProvenance: From the family of Barnes Wallis, by direct descent. Barnes Wallis’s personal copy of the book that, with the follow-up film in 1955, helped cement Wallis’s place in the history books of World War II. Molly’s notes are personal notes relating to the account in the book. In the first she says how the children helped him with his early experiments with a water tub in the garden and that they ‘never divulged a word to anyone’ (p. 32). Molly tells how she witnessed the first actual dam blowing experiment on Rhayader Lake and that ‘it was most exciting’ (p. 35). The third pencil note describes how she was stopped from getting near to an aeroplane taking off with Wallis in it at Weymouth, when off to do the first experimental bomb test-drop off Chesil Beach (p. 37). On page 68 Molly concurs that Wallis was getting very little sleep and then, further down, disagrees with Brickhill describing Wallis taking his hat off: ‘Rubbish, he never wears a hat’. The most poignant, and final, comment from Molly relating to Operation Chastise is written in the margins adjacent to the printed account of Wallis’s distress concerning the terrible news of the raid’s own casualties: ‘Yes, I was very frightened, one moment he was talking to me and the next he had flopped asleep. I sat up hugging my knees until the birds started, wondering if he was all right and thinking how he felt, poor darling’ (p. 104). The final two brief marginal pencil notes relate to the Tallboy and earthquake bombs.

The Contessa Teresa 'Tracy' di Vicenzo 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 ConvertibleRegistration no. HKX 367GChassis no. 9F94R549292•One of three ordered specially for the film•Used in filming the barn scene•List of previous owners available•Present ownership since 1990•Full restoration completed in 2020Footnotes:The Mercury Cougar Convertible we offer belongs to that select band of movie cars that have featured in the James Bond series, the first and most famous of which is the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. This Mercury is one of a tiny handful (some sources say three, others four) purchased by Eon Productions for use in the filming of On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) starring Australian actor George Lazenby in his sole outing as 007. Co-starring with Lazenby were Telly Savalas as super-villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld and Diana Rigg as the Contessa Teresa 'Tracy' Di Vicenzo, owner of the Mercury. Eon Productions ordered this car on the 30th January 1969. It was scheduled to be built on the 12th February but was actually completed six days earlier on 6th February 1969. The car was flown from the USA to the UK and registered on 13th February 1969. Copies of the original Ford Motor Company paperwork and invoice are on file, listing this individual car's specification and confirming its 'Bond Movie' connection. According to the accompanying Marti Auto Works Elite Report, only three cars were finished in Candy Apple Red with a black roof, indicating that only three were supplied for the film. The Marti Report lists the following original features: 428-4V Cobra Jet Ram Air V-8 EngineC-6 Select Shift Automatic TransmissionRed Paint, Ford #2008-A Dark Red Leather Bucket Seats 3.50 Conventional Rear Axle Color Keyed Floor Mats Black Power Top w/Glass Backlite F70X 14 Belted Raised White Letters Tires Ram Air Induction Console Power Front Disc Brakes Tilt-Away Steering Wheel Power Steering Hood Pins AM Radio Styled Steel Wheels Front Bumper GuardsThe Cougar is believed to have been flown to the UK as a special order and used for the barn scene filmed at Pinewood Studios, which if nothing else spared it from any damage (see below). Most of the film's action takes place in the Swiss Alps and the Mercuries were fitted with a chrome ski rack for Tracy's Kneissl skis, which were the 'must have' brand of the day. The car's red French numberplates are temporary visitor plates. The Cougars were used in four scenes: the opening scene on the beach; the bullfight; the ice race and chase; and the barn scene. OHMSS was released initially in Japan on 13th December 1969 and subsequently released as a Royal Premier at The Odeon, Leicester Square on 18th December 1969. The Ian Fleming Foundation (IFF) which looks after 40 screen-used James Bond vehicles, believes that perhaps four Cougars were used in making OHMSS: one was very badly damaged during the ice race sequence and subsequently scrapped; another resides in Spain; one has been owned by the IFF since 2008; and the remaining example is the car offered here. Subsequent owners are not known until 1976 when the car was registered to one Brian De Mesquita. Since then the Cougar has had seven other owners including the current vendor, who acquired it on 10th June 1990 (full list of owners on file). The Mercury had been advertised in Exchange & Mart in May 1990, with no mention of any James Bond connections (advertisement on file). Only competed in 2020, the car's full 'last-nut-and-bolt' restoration included stripping and repainting the chassis and all body panels; fully rebuilding the engine with new pistons, Crane camshaft, HV oil pump, etc; fully restoring the Holley carburettor; fitting the correct Ram Air induction, air filter, snorkel and heat shield; overhauling the alternator and starter motor; rebuilding the automatic transmission; and rebuilding the rear axle with Traction-Lock limited-slip differential by Hauser Racing. The body panels were acid dipped prior to priming and painting in the correct Candy Apple Red, while the convertible top and interior trim were done by specialists Piper Trimmers in Sparkford.The list of new parts fitted is far too lengthy to reproduce here but may be found in the history file (perusal highly recommended). Only 20 miles have been covered since the restoration's completion and this historic 'James Bond' Mercury Cougar is presented in commensurately excellent condition, worthy of the closest inspection.

Renate Bertlmann* Tranquilizer, 2019 Muranoglas, 110 x 51 cm Händisch nummeriert, monogrammiert und datiert (graviert): AP 3/3 R.B. 2019 Dieses Exemplar ist die Nummer AP 3/3. Auflage: 4 + 3 AP Privatsammlung, Deutschland Eine Kopie des Echtheitszertifkates von Berengo Studio liegt bei. „Die Ästhetik meiner Arbeiten führt in eine Falle“, warnt Renate Bertlmann (https://www.collectorsagenda.com/de/in-the-studio/renate-bertlmann, zugegriffen am 22.10.2020). Hinter oberflächlicher Schönheit verbirgt sich die Kritik an sexueller Ausnutzung und an der Objektivierung der Frau. Diese wird auf ihre Rolle als Sexobjekt und Gebärmaschine reduziert und so, in ihr zugewiesenen Rollenbildern eingeengt, ihrer Würde beraubt. Der Schnuller – ein Objekt das hier wohl auch im übertragenen Sinn für ein probates Mittel zum Ruhigstellen steht – taucht ab 1975 in Arbeiten wie „Messerschnullerbrett“ oder „Schnullersäule“ auf. Der in Glas gefertigte Riesentranquilizer bezieht sich motivisch auf die Installation „Rosemarie’s Baby“ von 1983 und ist anlässlich der Biennale di Venezia 2019, jenem Jahr in dem Bertlmann den österreichischen Pavillon mit ihrem Messerrosen bespielte – entstanden. In der Installation von 1983 bezieht sich die Künstlerin auf den gleichnamigen Film von Roman Polanski, der 1968 den Durchbruch der Schauspielerin Mia Farrow, der Darstellerin der Rosemarie, bringt. Diese zieht jungverheiratet mit ihrem Mann Guy in ein unheimliches Haus. Die Nachbarn, Satanisten, versprechen diesem eine erfolgreiche Karriere als Schauspieler, wenn er seine Frau vom Teufel schwängern lässt. Die betäubte Rosemarie glaubt zunächst an einen Alptraum. Der Film ist vor allem aus feministischer Sicht äußerst interessant, setzt er sich doch sehr kritisch mit den klassischen Rollenbildern auseinander und zeigt die Rechtlosigkeit der Ehefrauen in den 1960er Jahren drastisch auf. Rosemarie ist den patriarchalischen Gesellschaftsstrukturen machtlos ausgeliefert und hat keine Verfügungsgewalt über den eigenen Körper. Der große Schnuller, dessen Symbolgehalt auch 2019 noch Brisanz hat, steht als Sinnbild der in einem vorgegebenen Rollenbild gefangenen Frau, und ist gleichzeitig von berückender, skulpturaler Ästhetik.
