*Lewis Gun (Aircraft Mk III). A fine example of this famous gun, stamped Mod. 1914 - Lewis machine gun, manufactured by The Birmingham Small Arms Co.

The Lewis machine gun was designed by Isaac Newton Lewis, an American citizen. Being rebuffed initially by the British War Department, Lewis approached the Belgian Government who took to the gun enthusiastically and production began, where it soon became known as `The Belgian Rattlesnake`. Following the outbreak of World War I in 1914, this lightweight machine gun was finally recognised by the British War Department and, under licence, production started at B.S.A. Very soon it was obvious that this weapon could be adapted for aeronautical use. Huge numbers were produced and the success of the Lewis ensured that it continued in use as an aircraft and ground defence weapon well into World War II. Few survive today, this fine example is a classic in its own right. (1)

Originally a design by Colt-Browning as model in 1914, this gun was produced in large numbers by Marlin, who introduced a number of modifications which led the gun to be called the Marlin machine gun by 1917, the `Model 1917` as it was known was used in aircraft such as the Spad and Nieuport. This particular gun is somewhat of an enigma, the serial number 1001S suggests that it might be a prototype or development firearm as it differs in minor detail to the original design. (1)

*H.M. `K` Class Submarine. A possibly unique builder`s concept design model by Vickers, c. 1915, the ebonised carved and laminated hull, with keel, conning tower and torpedo tube outlines, arranged in two halves, brass-pinned at the bow, stern, conning tower and fore and aft decking, one brass pin securing the hull below the water line, the upper superstructure unusually applied with vertical rows of pins, possibly for plating purposes, the two half models when pinned together mounted on a modern wood platform stand with turned brass pillar and keel cradle supports, the submarine with restored bow section, approx. 101in (256.5cm) long Examination of early photographs and drawings indicates that this model was possibly built as a `concept`, probably in the Vickers workshops, c. 1915, when the `K` Class was first promoted. The model has a flush deck, as did the first of the breed. The `K` Class showed an inherrent tendancy to dive without warning and were therefore modified at the bows in `clipper` fashion and were fitted with extra buoyancy tanks. Armament was moved from deck to superstructure and torpedo tubes re-arranged. Despite these modifications history relates an unhappy career for these submarines. State-of-the-art at the time they were conceived and built, the technology available at the time failed to match requirements. The `K` Class suffered many disasters. An exercise with the Fleet on the night of 31st January 1918 off May Island, `K4` and `K7` were sunk after collisions, `K14` and `K22` were badly damaged and four other submarines were damaged, the incident became known as `The Battle of May Island`. The Class was taken out of service shortly after the end of the 1st World War. The maximum service use was nine years. This builder`s model is therefore a rare and poignant survivor and reminder of a brave concept, unfulfilled. (1)
