WW2 Important Bomber Command DFM & Bar Winners Flying Log Book Singed 7 times by Dambuster Guy Gibson VC. This important Bomber Command operational log book was compiled by Warrant Officer Eddie Leavesley DFM & Bar, who's second tour of operations was with 106 Lancaster Squadron under the command of the legendary Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar, who has signed the log book on 7 occasions. Other 'Dambuster' links are the signature of Dave Shannon and John Hopgood. The log also records that W/0 Leavesley was the regular WOP/AG to Flight Sergeant Lewis Johnstone Burpee DFM who would be killed on the 'Dams' raid. The log records flights from the 26th July 1940 through to his last flight in an Avro Anson on the 5th December 1945. Approximately 66 operations are listed some with comments about the raid.Recommendation for the Distinguished Flying Medal 26th June 1941. 50 Squadron RAF Sergeant Leavesley has been one of the most consistently reliable and courageous Wireless Operators in the Squadron. Throughout the winter months, he was a regular member of the crew Captained by Sergeant Ormonroyd DFM. The crew undertook all operations with cheerful and courageous spirit regardless of weather conditions or the strength of the defences of the target to be attacked. Their attacks were always pressed home with the greatest courage and determination. The cheerful demeanour of Sergeant Leavesley coupled with his skill as a wireless Operator undoubtedly contributed to a large extent to the successful completion of the many operations carried out by the crew. It is considered that Sergeant Leavesley’s service during the eight months he has served with the Squadron is worthy of recognition. Recommendation for the Bar to the Distinguished Flying Medal. 20th April 1943. 106 Squadron. Since the award of the DFM., Flight Sergeant Leavesley has completed 35 sorties, continuing to display cool courage and quiet efficiency. His technical ability and knowledge have been of the the greatest assistance to his pilot and Navigator and not once has he had a wireless failure. His fine record has been an inspiration and encouragement to the Squadron as a whole. Warrant Officer Eddie Leavesley DFM & Bar volunteered for aircrew and qualified as a WOP/AG being posted to his first operational Squadron in November 1940, at this time 50 Squadron was operating the Handley Page Hampden. He flew his first trip on the 7th November to Essen to bomb the Krupps works a round trip of 6 hours 50 minutes. Over the next few months he flew regular operations to Germany and occupied France, his first trip to Berlin taking place on the 12th March 1941. His last op with 50 Squadron was to Bremen on the 18th June 1941. Screened he was posted to 25 OTU and it was not until June 1942 that he was operational again with a posting to 106 Squadron flying the Avro Manchester and under the command of Wing Commander Guy Gibson, who would take a number of aircrew with him from the Squadron to form 617 Squadron and take part in the Dambuster Raid. As Leavesley had ended his first tour, he would begin his second tour with the same target a return trip to Bremen on the 25th June. At the end of June Wing Commander Gibson would sign his logbook for the first time. Converting to Lancasters in July 1942 his first trip on the type was a daylight raid to Danzig a ten hour round trip. During this period his regular pilot was a Flight Sergeant Jones, however a long way into his second tour he was crewed with Flight Sergeant Lewis Johnstone Burpee DFM. This pilot would become one of Gibson’s few and fail to return from the “Dams” raid. He would fly 14 trips with this pilot, visiting some of the most heavy defended targets in Germany. Screened from ops for a second time his last trip being to Lorient on the 13th February 1943, his log was signed for the last time by Gibson before being posted to 19 OTU. No one on 106 would have thought that within a month, Gibson would also be posted out to form 617 Squadron, lead the Dambuster Raid and become one of the RAF’s greatest legends. There would be no more operational flying for Eddie Leavesley however, he would fly with 19 OTU, No.4 (O) AFU and No.7 ANS before the war ended and he was issued with his demob.

Circa 1590 AD. A large gold ring with scrolled pictorial band between the oval main and back bezels; the principal bezel with profile cameo portrait of Elizabeth I with ornate ruff and collar with traces of enamels (possibly once with a crystal inset over the portrait) within an inner border set with cabochon ruby above and garnet below, the sides inset with square turquoise to left and right with rectangular pairs of lapis lazuli and turquoise between (some now missing), the outer border with cells of deep red enamel; the shoulder to right depicting a conch shell and facing figure of crowned Neptune holding trident with blue-green enamel background, supported by two fishes; the shoulder to left depicting a nude female figure reclining in a shell (Britannia as Aphrodite/Venus?) with blue-green enamel background, supported by two fishes; the back bezel with inset oval cameo carved in ancient bone (partially mineralised) depicting a large ship with high sterncastle, three masts and gunports (a British naval vessel?) with empty cells at corners. [A video is available on TimeLine Auctions website] See Scarisbrick, Diana, Portrait Jewels, Thames & Hudson, 2011 and Tudor and Jacobean Jewellery, Tate Gallery, 1995 pl.52 for much information; see Cocks, Anna Somers, An Introduction to Courtly Jewellery, HMSO, London, 1980, pp.24-25 nos.20-21 for details of two Armada jewels and p.27 no.24 for the enamelled cameo portrait Barbor jewel; see Oman, Charles, British Rings, 800-1914 London, 1974 pl.78B, the Earl of Essex ring, for an example of a stone cameo ring given by Elizabeth, with two other examples (78A and 78C); see also Dalton, O. M., Franks Bequest Catalogue of the Finger Rings, British Museum, 1912 no.1358 for the Earl of Essex ring; John Cherry has commented: It is really quite a remarkable ring....the bust looks to be that of Elizabeth I. I would compare it to the bust of the Queen on the Phoenix Jewel in the British Museum....The variety of enamel and stones is interesting. Particularly the use of turquoise and a dark blue stone (lapis lazuli"). David Miller has opined I feel that it is a royal gift from the Queen and by the portrait would judge that the ring dates from about 1585 to 1595. I am pretty sure that the portrait is by the artist Nicholas Hilliard as he designed a number of medals including the 1588 naval reward medal which is the first British war medal (see British Battles and Medals, Spink, 1988 no.1"). 22.42 grams, 25mm overall, 19.50mm internal diameter (approximate size British T, USA 9 1/2 Europe 21.26 Japan 20) (1"). Property of an Elizabeth I coin and artefact connoisseur; acquired London, UK, before 1996; formerly with Richard Hodges of Northampton, UK, prior to 1985 and then held by an eminent Mayfair, London numismatic company. Accompanied by a copy of a receipt letter from R.A. Hodges, dated 26th November 1984; and a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate. Elizabeth is known to have commissioned jewels for herself, such as the famous locket ring with portraits of her mother, Anne Boleyn and herself (taken from her finger on her death and shown to James I as proof of her death, now held by the Trustees of Chequers, the country residence of the Prime Minister) and to have presented jewels to others; this ring, with its strong seafaring imagery, is very likely to have been presented in 'grateful thanks' to a person of high importance who was directly involved with the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. There is apparently no specific record of this but possible candidates for the gift might include Sir Francis Drake (vice-admiral, who famously refused to interrupt his game of bowls at Plymouth when told of the approaching Spanish ships), Sir John Hawkins (rear admiral) or Lord Howard of Effingham (commander of the English forces who conceded some control to Drake when the English fleet set sail from Plymouth to confront the Spanish); other names for consideration might include Sir Walter Raleigh (Elizabeth's naval advisor and provider of the Ark Royal), Sir Martin Frobisher, Lord Sheffield, Sir Richard Grenville, Sir Robert Southwell, Lord Henry Seymour, Sir William Winter, John Davis or Edward Fenton. The bone cameo forming the back bezel of the ring shows a large Tudor three-masted sailing ship with a high sterncastle and gunports; allowing for the small scale of the image, the picture shows a typical English fighting vessel of the Armada period. It could be that if the ring was presented to a commander of one of the ships fighting off the Armada, then it could represent his own vessel. The English ships taking part in the defence against the Spanish Armada, with their commanders, included Ark Royal (flag ship of Lord Charles Howard of Effingham), Rainbow (Lord Henry Seymour), Golden Lion (Thomas Howard), White Bear (Alexander Gibson), Vanguard (William Winter), Revenge (Sir Francis Drake), Elizabeth (Robert Southwell), Victory (Rear Admiral Sir John Hawkins), Antelope (Henry Palmer), Triumph (Martin Frobisher), Dreadnought (George Beeston), Mary Rose (Edward Fenton), Nonpareil (Thomas Fenner), Hope (Robert Crosse), Swiftsure (Edward Fenner) and Swallow (Sir Richard Hawkins"). Further research might produce a link with a Tudor portrait that could demonstrate ownership. Elizabeth's address to her forces at Tilbury on 9 August 1558 with the knowledge that the ships and army of Spain were about to assault England, is perhaps her most famous speech and, from a surviving manuscript in the British Library written by Dr Lionel Sharp, her words are transcribed: My loving people, We have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit our selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear. I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm: to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and We do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the mean time, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people. Jewels and rings bearing the portrait of Elizabeth I are well known, including 'The Sir Francis Drake Jewel', a locket traditionally held to have been given to Drake by Elizabeth in the late 16th century - possibly associated with the Armada victory; Drake is shown wearing this locket in a portrait dated to 1591 and it contains a portrait of Elizabeth and of her emblem, a phoenix; it is interesting to note that the jewelled border to the locket is inset with stones in a similar manner to this ring. There is also the 'Armada Pendant', a similar locket given by Elizabeth to Sir Thomas Heneage which holds a miniature by Hilliard. Rings include the Earl of Essex example, with a stone cameo portrait and others. Good condition, fine portrait. Unique and historically important

* ALEXANDER GOUDIE RP RGI (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2004), GOING SAILING oil on canvas, signed 60.5cm x 80.5cm Framed and under glass.Label verso: John Gibson, Fine Art Dealer, 112 Bothwell Street, Glasgow.Provenance: Glasgow family collection and by descent.Note: This painting is a view from the terrace of the house in Loctudy (Brittany, France) which belonged to the parents of Goudie's French wife, Mainee. Goudie and his family spent many summers there and the viewlooks towards Ile-Tudi. Lachlan Goudie kindly confirmed: My father painted the view obsessively under all kinds of skies, looking from Loctudy to Ile-Tudi. I particularly recognise the threatening glower to the clouds! I can tell it's also a painting from the early 80's as his style became characterised by a flatter use of colour then.
