English school Oil on canvas Three-quarter length portrait of Captain Henry Skillicorne (1678-1763), 97cm x 122cm Label verso, indistinctly signed 'Robert...' Captain Skillicorne was a flamboyant merchant sea captain from the Isle of Man, who had been involved in naval warfare. On retirement he lived in Bristol where he met and married Elizabeth Mason, whose father owned land in Cheltenham. On this land in Bayshill Meadow (now part ofLabel verso, Cheltenham Ladies College) was a spring which local people noticed attracted flocks of pigeons. They were tempted by the salt deposits left by the spring's evaporating mineral waters. Captain Skillicorne developed this spring into what effectively become the first Cheltenham Spa. He built a pump room in 1738 and an avenue of elm trees known as Well Walk in 1743. The last edition was a small assembly room known as the Long Room, ensuring Cheltenham's destination as a luxury spa resort for the Georgians. Live Bidding: Some scratches across the left hand shoulder and middle of the painting. Deep scratch and piercing of the canvas to bottom right. Quite poor repaint over on the finger to the left hand.

The Superb D.F.C. and Bar awarded to Flight Lieutenant John Vere ‘Hoppy’ Hopgood, 617 Squadron, late 106 and 50 Squadron, R.A.F.V.R., one of the central figures of the legendary ‘Dambusters’, and second-in-command of the famous attack on the Möhne Dam in ‘Operation Chastise’ on the night of the 16th-17th of May, 1943. Flying in the first wave, and attacking immediately after Guy Gibson’s ‘G-George’, he pressed home the attack in his already damaged aircraft ‘M-Mother’ in the face of the recently alerted enemy guns, and despite his own serious head wound, he released his bomb successfully toward the dam wall, but just fractionally late, and it agonisingly bounced over the dam face. Knowing that his damaged and blazing Lancaster could not struggle much further, and arguably aware of his own approaching fate, he committed himself to one final and desperate climb, allowing his remaining crew time to attempt to bail out of the stricken aircraft, prior to a final descent in which he was killed – at the age of just 21. The case has been made in the years since that he might have been recommended for a posthumous Victoria Cross in the light of his heroic and selfless actions in saving the lives of his crew, comprising: Distinguished Flying Cross, GRI, unnamed as issued, engraved reverse dated ‘1942’, with second award bar, engraved reverse dated ‘1943’, in original Royal Mint case of issue, toned, good extremely fine OFFERED BY DIRECT DESCENT ON BEHALF OF WATER AID NOTE: D.F.C.: London Gazette, 27 October 1942: ‘Flt. Lt. Hopgood has participated in a number of successful attacks on enemy and enemy occupied country. On one occasion he made a low level attack on Rostock and also bombed Warnemünde from only 2,000 feet in face of intense opposition’. D.F.C. (Bar): London Gazette, 12 January 1943: ‘This officer has completed many successful operations since being awarded the D.F.C, One night in August, 1942, he was detailed to bomb objectives at the port of Gdynia. This attack, which was pressed home with the greatest determination, achieved excellent results. On another occasion in October, 1942, during the daylight attack on Le Creusot, Flt. Lt. Hopgood participated in a particularly daring attack on the electrical transformer station, which was bombed effectively from a height of only 500 feet.’ Note: As far as can be ascertained, Hopgood’s WW2 campaign stars and medals were never issued or claimed.
