Hurricanes led by Sgt Ginger Lacey in aviation art print by Keith
Woodcock, Dawn Scramble. The Hawker Hurricane, one of the two great
British fighter aircraft of the Battle of Britain. Aviation art prints

Pilot of 501 Squadron. Squadron Leader John
Gibson In May 1940 John Gibson joined 501 Squadron. The squadron
flew to France and saw action during the German advances. On 27th May
Gibson destroyed an He III and shared in the destruction of another before
he was himself shot down, crash-landing in a field. The much-depleted
Squadrons final base was at St Helier in Jersey on 19 June 1940, from
where it covered the evacuation of the British Army from Cherbourg. During
the Battle of Britain, Gibson destroyed seven aircraft. In an action on
August 15 1940 Gibsons aircraft was set alight by return fire from a Stuka,
one of a force attacking Hawkinge airfield. Being then directly over
Folkestone, Gibson steered his blazing aircraft away from the town and
took it down to 1000 feet before baling out. He was again shot down in
flames on the 29th, this time over Dover, and baled out into the sea two
miles off the coast. He was picked up by a motor boat. About this time
Gibson was awarded the DFC. Later in the war he served in the Pacific and
was awarded the DSO. He passed away on the 1st July 2000.

Battle Above Dover by Adrian Rigby on 29th July 1904, the Luftwaffe launched what they believed was a
surprise attack on the port of Dover and the shipping in the area. RAF
controllers however were quick to react and Spitfire from Manston along
with twelve Hurricanes from Hawkinge intercepted nearly fifty Stukas and
no less than eighty fighter escorts. the battle was intense and made even more dangerous for the RAF by
the heavy flak, which the gunners of Dover used to some success, shooting
two Stukas out of the sky. at the end of the action, seven German aircraft
were lost to just one Spitfire. more significantly, Dover was spared
serious damage and no ships were lost. Signed by Wing Commander K W MacKenzie
DFC AFC, Pilot Officer with 43 and 501 Sqns.

| Open Assault by Robert Taylor. The Junkers Ju87 Sturzkampfbomber, known to the British simply as the Stuka, had already acquired a deadly reputation across Europe, its siren screaming as the ungainly dive-bomber struck terror into the hearts of those below. In 1940 its pilots crossed the Channel with their grim-looking aircraft to terrorise the southern towns and ports of England. Robert Taylors painting Open Assault, depicts Hurricanes of 501 Squadron attacking a force of Ju87 Stukas as they dive-bomb naval vessels and installations in the port of Dover on 29 July 1940. High explosive bombs detonate within the sheltered anchorage as escorting Bf109s from JG51 race in to protect their lumbering charges. Four Stukas and two Me109s are despatched, for the loss of just one RAF aircraft. Signed limited edition of 400 prints. Paper size 33 inches x 25 inches (83cm x 64cm). Price £200.00 Signed by

| Fear Nothing by Anthony Saunders. The Battle of Britian - 28th August 1940. The Battle of Britain is at its height but the threat of invasion is still a deadly reality. As the country waited, grim and expectant, for Hitlers Operation Sealion to be put into action, Blenheims of 105 Squadron make another strike against German troop barges assembling in the northern French port of Boulogne. Overhead, escorting Hurricanes of 501 Squadron engage in a savage tussle with Me109s of JG3 as the Luftwaffe pilots attempt to disperse the attacking British bombers.

| Desperate Measures by Ivan Berryman. Having already registered two victories since his arrival at 501 Sqn in the Autumn of 1940, Plt Off K W Mackenzie found himself again in action against some Messerschmitt Bf.109s on 7th October, sharing in the destruction of one before vigorously pursuing another as it turned to head out across the Channel. With his ammunition exhausted, Mackenzie was determined not to let the interloper escape and placed his Hurricane’s starboard wing over the tail of the Bf.109, bringing it violently down and severing the tail of the German fighter which plunged uncontrollably into the sea. With his own wingtip missing from the impact and his engine now damaged by rounds from other pursuing German aircraft, Mackenzie limped his crippled Hurricane over the cliffs near Folkestone, where he crash-landed. He survived the incident, albeit with some facial injuries sustained when he was thrown against the gunsight, and was awarded the DFC for his gallantry. Limited edition of 30 giclee paper prints.
