* ALEXANDER GOUDIE RP RGI (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2004), A CLEAR VIEW oil on canvas, signed image size 52cm x 64cm, overall size 60.5cm x 71.5cm Framed. Provenance: We are grateful to Lachlan Goudie, artist, writer, broadcaster and the leading authority on the work of his father, for authenticating this painting and confirming that "A ClearView" is likely to date to 1957 "when Dad first went there (Toledo, Spain) and spent a prolonged period staying with friends and painting." Note: Alexander Goudie was born in 1933 at Paisley and, as a child, showed a prodigious talent for drawing. He studied at Glasgow School of Art when William Armour was head of drawing and painting and David Donaldson was the ubiquitous influence. Goudie, as a student at Glasgow, demonstrated his extraordinary ability. He received the Somerville Shanks Prize for Composition and, later, his draughtsmanship and sense of colour was recognized with the award of the Newbery Medal. As a young artist, he grew up admiring three great masters, Sir John Lavery, George Henry and James Guthrie; all artists who had bridged the gap between Glasgow and Paris. It was these artists’ glorious virtuoso control of oil paint that appealed to Goudie, as well as their genre and realist subject matter. Alexander Goudie was elected a member of the Glasgow Art Club in 1956 and a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1970. He painted a portrait of the Queen for the Caledonian Club, London (1992/93), and exhibited widely, showing at Harari and Johns, in London, the Fine Art Society, Glasgow, and the Musee de la Faience, in Quimper. Sir Timothy Clifford, former Director of the National Galleries of Scotland, said: ''At his best, Goudie could draw better than any of his rivals in Scotland. There was magic and vision in his art and, I expect, history will be kind to him.'' Collections: 79 of Goudie's paintings are held in UK public collections including at Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Hunterian, Rozelle House Galleries, Paisley Museum & Art Galleries and The Fleming Collection (London). Numerous prestigious corporate collections in the UK and France and in private collections around the world.

Identity Disc of Squadron Leader Gerald Charles Neil Close 59 Squadron, Awarded the George Cross for Bravery and Later Lost on Operations in 1941, crude silver oval identity disc which has been poorly scratch engraved with “G. C. N. CLOSE C of E R.A.F 37383”. Heavily pitted and worn, would appear to have been made outside of the UK. Gerald Charles Neil Close was born in 1914, he enlisted for service in the Royal Air Force pre-war and was awarded the Empire Gallantry medal in 1937, appearing in the London Gazette 21st December 1937, the recommendation for the award is as follows, “At Miranshah at about 0950 hours on the 13th April 1937, a Wapiti aircraft of No.27 (B) Squadron crashed about 700 yards beyond the boundary of the aerodrome shortly after leaving the ground. This aircraft was proceeding to the zone of air blockade operations and was loaded with four 112 pound Mark VI bombs, four 8.5 pound practice bombs and 800 rounds of small arms ammunition. One of the 112 pound bombs exploded immediately the aircraft crashed. Pilot Officer Close was Duty Pilot at Miranshah aerodrome at the time of the crash. He at once leapt on the fire tender taking with him AC.1 Woodcock and AC1 McKinnon and proceeded to the scene of the accident with the greatest promptitude. The fire tender was temporarily impeded on the way to the scene of the accident by a difficult nullah. Pilot Officer Close in company with the two airmen left the tender at this point and ran about 250 yards to the aircraft. Whilst still some 75 yards away from the scene of the accident they observed the aircraft burst into flames. Pilot Officer Close led on his airmen and approached closely to the burning aircraft. All three men rushed back to the fire tender which by this time had arrived near the burning aircraft. They seized fire extinguishers and approached as near as possible to the burning wreckage, sprayed the fire and did their utmost to rescue the imprisoned crew. Whilst they were so engaged at a distance of about eight feet from the wreckage a second 112-pound bomb exploded. Fortunately none of the would-be rescuers was injured. In spite of the explosion of this bomb and numerous small arms ammunition, they continued their attempts to extinguish the flames and rescue the crew. They did not withdraw from the immediate vicinity of the crash until ordered to do so by a senior officer who judged the risks too great owing to the grave danger of further explosions of bombs and small arms ammunition”. In 1940 King George VI created the award of the George Cross and in 1941 all living recipients of the Empire Gallantry Medal were to exchange their medal for the newly created George Cross and were such recognised as George Cross winners. On 9th May 1941, Close was the pilot of a Bristol Blenheim Mk IV, ser.T1874, c/s TR-Y took off from RAF Thorney Island at 22:00 hrs with a flight to attack shipping in Boulogne, he and his crew failed to return from this operation. It was just three days after his promotion to Squadron Leader. The crew of his aircraft were buried in a collective grave. Gerald Close sadly holds the record for holding the George Cross for the shortest time. He is buried at the Boulogne Eastern Cemetery, France. Ex Jerry Withers collection.
