Å Ronald Cameron, born 1930 The Diver bronze signed R Cameron variegated brown patination 210cm.; 83ins high This lot is sold with a certificate of authenticity signed by the sculptor stating that it is number 4 out of an edition of 4. Ronald Cameron was born in London in 1930 and studied at the Camberwell College of Art from 1947- 53. After working as a graphic artist he was asked to make the TV puppets for Gerry Anderson’s films of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90, producing 60 heads in all. Commissions for soldiers and farm animals followed for Britain’s and Airfix, which in turn lead to work modelling miniature figures as promotional gifts for companies such as Kelloggs and Shell Oil, together with sports trophies for events like Batsman of the Year, won by Clive Lord and the Professional Snooker championship won by Steve Davis. Commercial success meant that in the 1980’s he was able to concentrate more on producing larger scale sculpture for commissions and galleries including the Alwin Gallery in Mayfair London, where his work was exhibited alongside works by Elisabeth Frink and Henry Moore. Other exhibitions and commissions included: Whitford Gallery in Duke St., St James’s, London; Three relief figures for the Athens Olympics; Giant Panda collection boxes commissioned by Sir Peter Scott for the World Wildlife Fund; Miniature figures for the Chapman brothers |Holocaust|; A Nude figure which won the sculpture prize in the 2002 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition; An over life size bust of the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf for the National Portrait Gallery

Flight Lieutenant Herbert Carmichael “Bird” Irwin (1894-1930). An Irish Airman and athlete who played an important role in the development of airships. A keen member of the Dublin athletic club (the Clonliffe Harriers) he was at the age of 18, the first Irish four-mile champion and winner of both the junior and senior cross country championships. He joined the Royal Naval Air Service in 1915 as a Probationary Flight Sub-Lieutenant soon becoming the commander of non-rigid airships “in Home Waters and the Mediterranean.” In 1917 Irwin was promoted to Flight Lieutenant with seniority and in 1919 he was granted a short-service commission as Flight Lieutenant, finally being made a full Flight Lieutenant on January 1st 1926. By 1918, the RNAS had become part of the newly founded RAF and Irwin was stationed at East Fortune in Scotland. He continued his athletic activities whilst with the RAF and after the war represented Great Britain at the Summer Olympics in Antwerp in 1920. The album contains a few photographs of Irwin as an athlete. Irwin continued with the RAF after the war and was transferred to the RAW (the Royal Airship Works) based at Cardington in Bedfordshire, in 1924, where he took command of the R33. His presence there was part of an economic and political scheme to establish airship network links between Britain and its colonies; more especially India, which was seen as the jewel in the crown of the Empire. Despite his being transferred to and fro between the RAF and the RAW he was eventually seconded to the latter where he became an important member of the team developing airships for both military roles and the dream of international travel. It finally looked like the plans for the Indian venture were coming to fruition in 1929 in the shapes of the R100 and the R101. The first was owned and developed by the state owned RAW; the latter was a commercial development by the Airship Guarantee Company, a subsidiary of Vickers Ltd. Until the inception of these two airships the design of most of the earlier rigid airships (including the R33) had been based on captured German Zeppelins. Irwin captained the R101 and was killed on the 5th October, 1930 when the airship crashed near Beauvais in France. The following four lots are from the estate of his widow, Olivia Marjory Macdonald Irwin, whom he married on the 23rd September, 1926. An album containing upwards of 200 photographs, Irwin`s personal collection, the majority are original photographs taken by him with his manuscript titles written in white ink under most of them. The greater part of the photographs in the album relate to the period when Irwin was at East Fortune (see above) with many aerial photographs of both naval and commercial ships. There are many photographs that relate to the surrender of the German Fleet on November 21st 1918, including portraits of Admiral Sir David Beatty, H. M. the King and Queen Mary on board the Queen Elizabeth. The collection includes a number of loose photographs, many of which are press photographs, two commissions, his marriage certificate, newspaper cuttings and other ephemera relating to airships; a 19 page typescript of a lecture delivered by Irwin at Cardington on 12th of February 1929 entitled "Mooring & Handling of Airships;" many letters of condolence to Irwin`s widow and correspondence from television companies relating to a TV programme about the R101 and letters from Sir Peter Masefield, author of "To Ride the Storm. The Story of the Airship R101." A copy of the latter inscribed by Masefield to Irwin`s widow is included in the lot.
