An interesting Autograph Letter Signed, ‘Philip’, no place [in the Pacific Ocean], 9 November [1956], to Harold [Hartley], the Prince writes during his world tour and provides his correspondent with various observations of the different countries he had visited, in part, ‘The Seychelle Islands are most attractive but of course the Europeans there who are not in Government service are really just beach combers. With only one ship every 2 or 3 months they’re fairly well cut off. Ceylon I found in much better order than I expected. They were all friendly and the new Government is still tremendously enthusiastic. I think they were all rather astonished that they got their independence so easily and with no ill feeling … I found Malaya a much happier and quieter place than I expected. The emergency is always there but it’s being tackled with patience. They are also looking forward to Dominion status next August and this is coming about with very little ill feeling and, I think, genuine friendship. The fly in the ointment is the 2,000 hard core terrorists in the jungle. We can’t catch them and they won’t give up … Everything I heard about Singapore was bad. I was told that people go there to make money or to make trouble. They don’t know where they want to go and they don’t care where they are going … Of course the whole period has been overshadowed by Suez. Badly put across our action caused a lot of unhappiness in these parts. It looked to us very much as if we took it as an excuse to get our own back on Egypt. However it stopped the war which is something and it also made Egypt a less interesting ally for the other Arab states now that she has got to acquire a new lot of military equipment’, and further adds ‘I have been spending the last few days preparing some exceedingly bad speeches for Australia. I have to open the Antarctic Symposium in Melbourne and I think my first draft is quite promising. I’ve tried to be a bit provocative…’, 4 pages on 2 sheets of printed stationery of H.M. Yacht Britannia, 4to The Duke of Edinburgh spent 1956-57 travelling around the world in the newly commissioned HMY Britannia and whilst in Australia opened the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne. Prince Philip also visited the Antarctic, thereby becoming the first royal to cross the Antarctic Circle. Sir Harold Hartley (1878-1972) was a British physical chemist, later serving in important positions in business and industry, including being Chairman of the British Overseas Airways Corporation. An interesting letter with good content, written in the immediate wake of the Suez Crisis, an invasion of Egypt by Israel, followed by the United Kingdom and France. The attempt to regain Western control of the Suez Canal, had only ended on 7 November, two days before the present letter. The episode humiliated Great Britain and led to the resignation of Prime Minister Anthony Eden. Historians have concluded that the crisis ‘signified the end of Great Britain’s role as one of the world’s major powers’. (1) £400 - £600

327* WWI - Battle of the Somme. Autograph Letter Signed, ‘John’, Hut A5, Duke’s Hill Con[valescent] Camp, Woldingham, Surrey, 27 August 1917, to his brother Alex, in pencil, a vivid and harrowing account of his experiences at the Front with the Durham Light Infantry, the letter begins with a description of his current health and problems with his head due to discharge caused by a small piece of decayed bone and hoping not to have an operation and a plate, before continuing that he will explain as best he can about his experiences, ‘but it seems rather a difficult job and what was to me the worst kind of experience may be insignificant to others’, going back to last October when he was transferred into the DLI from the Yorks and their travel from Etaples to Enoncourt, before soon recounting various deaths and the destruction in the landscape, ‘On Nov 1st we left camp for the trenches 2 companies going into the 1st line and ours into close support living like rabbits under cover all day and trudging through mud knee deep at night taking up rations and ammunition to those in the front line and more than once I have almost prayed to be killed to get out of it all. Then came the preparations for the great 5th of Nov attack on the night of the 4th we had to start off to relieve those in the front line and be ready for going over the top at 8.10 a.m. we were timed to reach the front trenches about 5.30 a.m. and be all prepared for the attack as soon as the barrage started, but the conditions were so bad that we were in the sunken valley at daylight & Fritz could see us going into the trenches and I was in my baptismal fire more than a few were knocked out before we got into cover and it of course made Fritz prepared for us. Under the conditions it was a great mistake to try to advance but it was time and over we had to go many men were stuck in the mud and could not move then one of the best pals I had all the time in the army was killed and I had to walk over his body, from then I must have lost all fear and almost went mad I think we were at close quarters for a time. (By the way Butte de Warlemort was our objective) and we were so thinned down that we could not hold the position the 8th on our right withdrew, the 9th lost the imprisoners and we were in No Man’s Land untill dark it was raining and we dare not move either way, all the officers were lost but one and we tried to get the rest of the men together and go out to dig an advance trench to try and hold out untill morning and reinforcements came. We were carrying 250 rounds ammtn 2 hand grenades 4 sandbags & a shovel down the back of our equipment so you may guess that it was no easy task. After getting about 2 ft down we came into water and had to retire to our starting point as best we could, twice I saw the man next to me killed and our last officer was wounded and then we had to stick

out untill night and relief was due. By the time I was just about half dead not had a bite from the night of the 4th and now was the evening of the 6th the only water was the rain we could catch I was one to go out and meet the 5th Yorks & 4th N[orthumberland F[usiliers] to guide them in and relieve us. The meant about 2 miles of trenches with mud up to the thighs in places and dead and wounded lying all over I had got to the stage where nothing was a surprise and quite indifferent to any kind of danger except machine guns & how these always seemed to be my only dread. After going down the trench about half of a mile I was stuck in the mud for a time and lost my rifle in trying to force myself out, it was sunk into the mud when I got loose a 2nd time I went over the time and thought I may as well be shot as drowned in mud. While stuck fast I think I had my narrowest shave of all a shell dropped less than 2 ft away from me I closed my eyes and never expected seeing anything more but it did not go off as the ground was too soft for the concussion to be effective. Fortunately I managed to get to my destination and while waiting for them (the reliefs) coming to Hdqtrs the Fritz’s started another bombardment and killed about 40 of the NFs before they got into the line. After getting the new Brigade posted we were allowed to return to camp independently as we are all in a terrible state and had about 10 Kilo’s to go famished & covered from head to foot in mud and not a dry rag on. I landed into camp about 2 o’clock the next morning and was one of the first in we had hot soup and tea waiting for us. We had bell tents to sleep in but no boards at the bottom and sunk about 6 ins in mud but I think I slept as well that day as ever I did in my life... ‘, continuing in similar vein describing further horrors of the Front and saying, ‘It is undoubtedly not all beer and skittles out there though a good deal of sport can be got out of it after we get away from the line. Wherever we got to for a rest the first job was to find a field and fix up goal posts and have matches between platoons and Coys & Batts but don’t think we had nothing else to do... ‘, the letter coming to a close when he was hit by a sniper resulting in his return to England and the convalescent camp where he is now, 19 pages on 10 leaves, a few spots and marks, 8vo An unusually open, uncensored and harrowing account of life at the Front during the First World War. The Battle of the Somme took place between 1 July and 18 November 1916. More than three million men fought in the battle and one million were wounded or killed, making it one of the deadliest battles in human history.

The order, given for military valour, consists of two parts. There is little information available on this unusual order which is recorded as being instituted by the Mughal Emperor Shah Allam in 1804. Its Mughal name is given in Berry & Glover’s “Encyclopaedia Heraldica” of 1828 as being Mahi Moratid [ot Moratiel as some other resources of the period call it]. Mahi is the Persian word for fish and Moratid means dignity. The order is first recorded as being presented to the British General Lord Lake [1744-1808] in Delhi in 1804 by the blind Mughal Emperor Shah Allam who had been a puppet of the Mahrattas until Lake defeated them. The fish is a symbol used in Mughal iconography. It appears in the arms of various rulers such as the Nawabs of Bhopal and it was used to decorate some bookbinding for the Emperors.

The confusion began on 1st September 1940 when enemy aircraft were staining the skies over Court Road, Orpington, just south east of London, and as so often that summer, the RAF were making superhuman efforts to repel them. A Hurricane seemed to peel off from the melee and begin a terrifying descent; as it approached the ground, one witness saw the pilot slumped over his controls, just before the fighter plane drilled with unimaginable force into the Kent soil of a farmer’s field at Chelsfield to the south of Orpington.

525* Battle of Britain. All that remains of a Merlin Engine attributed to Hurricane Mk1 P2673 VY-E ﬂown by Sergeant John Hugh Mortimer Ellis ‘Cockney Sparrow’, 85 Squadron The relic engine preserved in a wooden packing crate Please note this is not on display at Dominic Winter Auctioneers, please contact the auctioneers for further details. Provenance: Laidlaw Auctioneers, The Ken Anscombe Aviation Museum, 7 December 2018.

When a single foot in a flying boot was found by a civilian salvage team some days later, the confusion of war caused this to have been buried in an ‘Unknown Airman’s’ grave at Star Lane Cemetery in St. Marys Cray. This process was repeated only weeks later, when a group of travellers combing the area for scrap metal found further small body parts and handed them to police; the unidentified remains went into a second ‘Unknown Airman’s’ grave at Star Lane two plots along from the first and no one connected the two discoveries.

Although this engine bears the label attributing the engine to Pilot Officer Charles Anthony Woods-Scawen, it would appear this was wrongly attributed by Ken Anscombe and after discussions between the vendor and Andy Saunders, it seems likely to be the engine of P2673 flown by Sergeant John Hugh Mortimer Ellis. The story of Sergeant John Hugh Mortimer Ellis of 85 Squadron, known to all as Hugh, or indeed the ‘Cockney Sparrow’, has unusual elements that somehow make it even more poignant, as Hugh was not laid fully to rest for more than five decades after his brave death.

Unbeknown to a living soul, the lion-hearted Cockney Sparrow now had fragments of himself buried in separate plots at Star Lane, but the greater part of his remains lay unofficially buried deep under the earth, surrounded by the wreckage of his Hurricane, for the next fifty years. It is moving to reflect how Hugh’s great fear was always that if he were shot down, it would be into the sea, since one of his middle names was Mortimer, which is a corruption of the French for ‘died in the sea’. For so long no one knew where Hugh’s Hurricane had come down, for no trace of it had ever been officially acknowledged, and so a watery grave was not actually out of the question.

Born on 2nd April 1919 and growing up in Cambridgeshire, he joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve on 28th September 1938 as an Airman under training Pilot and had only just completed his elementary ﬂying training before he was called to full-time service at the outbreak of War. On completion of further instruction at Bexhill, Brize Norton and Sutton Bridge, he joined 85 Squadron equipped with Hawker Hurricanes at Debden on 24th May 1940. With a little boomerang lucky mascot around his neck sent from Australia by his favourite Aunt Stella to keep him safe, Hugh went into action during the Battle of Britain.

It was 1992 before an unauthorised archaeological dig at the site uncovered the cowling of the doomed plane, and the exact identity of the pilot’s remains then found therein could be conﬁrmed. Among his personal effects were the photographs of two ladies, Peggy Owen, Hugh’s heartbroken sweetheart, and the aunt who had sent her gallant nephew the little boomerang from Australia. In 1993, after the remains had been formally identiﬁed, Sgt. John Hugh Mortimer Ellis was buried at Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey with full military honours.

On 6th August he shared in the destruction of a Do17 and then on the 18th damaged a Me110 and also destroyed a Me109. His final credited success came during the mid-afternoon of the 26th, when he destroyed a Do17 over the Thames Estuary. But on 29th August Hugh’s luck began to falter. Whilst in combat over the Channel, his aircraft caught fire; though he managed to glide back in order to bale out over land, his Hurricane Mk1 L1915 VY-B crashed at Ashburnham in East Sussex, and his lucky mascot was lost. Since his first scramble, Hugh had sworn that like his little boomerang, he would always come back. It was a thought most comforting to his childhood sweetheart, Peggy Owen, but now, like Hugh’s good fortune, the boomerang was gone.

For many years, a burnt ﬂying glove that once clothed a hand of Sgt. Ellis and recovered at the time of the crash has been on display in the Shoreham Aircraft Museum near Sevenoaks, as a token but thought-provoking exhibit to help keep alive the memory of a brave young pilot. On a dreadfully wet Saturday 17th May 2008, well over 200 people gathered together and tried to keep dry under a colourful multitude of umbrellas on Chelsﬁeld Green to remember Sgt Ellis and to see a memorial unveiled in his honour.

Three days later, he was back in the air in his new Hurricane Mk1 P2673 VYE. What exactly happened next to this brave man with the enormous smile remained a mystery for the following ﬁve decades. Hugh’s parents Fred and Ethel were told simply that their only son was missing in action. It was not until 1993 that the story was at last pieced together by three very determined interested parties: historian Andy Saunders, Hugh’s cousin Peter Mortimer and Metropolitan Police coroner’s Ofﬁcer Martin Gibbs.

Provenance: Laidlaw Auctioneers, The Ken Anscombe Aviation Museum, 7 December 2018 (lot 817) Flying Officer Peter Cape Beauchamp St John (1917-1940) was born in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, he joined the RAF in 1937 and was posted to 3FTS in South Cerney in December and after completing his training he joined 87 Squadron at Debden in 1938. In April 1940 he was posted to 74 Squadron.

528* Battle of Britain. Spitfire propeller relic, heavily corroded, with label inscribed ‘propeller blade from Spitfire which crashed at Wrotham’ and with two labels attached inscribed ‘this blade came to ... at Wrotham and pos came from Spit K9839 602 Sqn, P.O. E Aries unhurt and A.C. crashed at West Wrotham 7.9.40 ...’ written by Ken Anscombe on a Rivoli Bingo Club Membership Card, the other label inscribed ‘No history found on the building site Pilgrim Way, Wrotham’, 113cm long Provenance: Laidlaw Auctioneers, The Ken Anscombe Aviation Museum, 7 December 2018 (lot 295). Although the labels attached attribute the propeller to Spitfire K9839 flown by Pilot Officer Ellis Walter Aries, it would appear from the vendors personal research with Andy Saunders (Battle of Britain, author and authority) that this is incorrect. It seems likely although unproven that this propeller was from Spitfire P9422 flown by Squadron Leader P.H. Pinkham, 19 Squadron. 37208 Squadron Leader Philip Campbell Pinkham (1915-1940), was born in Wembley and educated at Kilburn Grammar School, he joined the RAF in 1935 and by 1936 joined 17 Squadron at Kenley. He served as a flying instructor before taking command of 11 Group Pool at Andover on 22 January 1940 (Acting Squadron Leader). The Pool became 6 OTU in March 1940 and Pinkham commanded it until 3 June, when he was given command of 19 Squadron at Duxford. He was awarded the AFC (London Gazette - 11 July 1940). Pinkham was killed when his Spitfire was shot down by Me109s over the Thames Estuary on 5 September 1940, his Spitfire P9422 is believed to have crashed into Whitehorse Wood, Birling, Kent. Pinkham is buried in St Andrews’ churchyard, Kinsbury, Middlesex.

According to correspondence provided by the vendor the seller explains that she lived next door to Morgan Phillips as a child and he was a family friend. The seller then bought Phillips’s house after he passed away and his “war items” were left in the house. The seller also provided a black and white photograph of Phillips in civilian clothes and also remembers a Phillips and “German pilot Rolf” meeting up after the war. It seems likely that this propeller tip was a war souvenir given to Phillips and once hung on his wall. An extract supplied by the vendor is included. ‘A photo-reconnaissance sortie was made on 16 March by a Mosquito from No 544 Sqn RAF. The Mosquito XVI NS795, was flown by Flg Off R M Hays and Flt Sgt M Phillips based at RAF Benson. The squadron’s operations log book recorded; Gotha and Lutzendorf targets photographed then attacked by three Me 163s. Aircraft shot up and landed Lille.’ This brief entry was also in more detail; ‘Flg Off R M Hays DFC and Flt Sgt M Phillips had targets at Gotha, Chemitiz and Lutzendorf. Subsequently, Lutzendorf and Gotha were claimed. At 1145 hrs, flying 30,000 feet making a photographic run (with the navigator in the nose of the aircraft) on course 090 degrees over Leipzig, the pilot saw two Me 163s practically at ground level and climbing rapidly. The pilot altered course 90 degrees and opened up fully. ‘Within three to five minutes both enemy aircraft were at Mosquito height (30,000 feet) and split up, one to starboard and one to port and slightly above, from which positions they attacked the Mosquito simultaneously on either beam. The pilot did a half-roll and dived vertically, attaining an IAS of 480mph pulling out at 12,000 feet. The pilot then saw that three Me 163s were attacking, one either beam approximately 500 yards from the Mosquito and the third the same distance astern, and all enemy aircraft slightly above. The pilot did not see the enemy aircraft fire but the navigator did... as the Mosquito levelled off at deck level the pilot saw his starboard engines smoking and without power - presumably as a result of a hit by cannon shells from the Me 163s. This engine was then feathered and the pilot climbed to 2000 feet ... after approximately 30 to 40 minutes flying the navigator saw a single Me 109 approaching from 1000 yards astern ... The Mosquito then dived to deck level again and then flew up and down valleys ... during this evasive action the Me 109 lost sight and made no further contact. Approximately 45 minutes later the Mosquito crossed a small unidentified town and experienced intense flak - the Mosquito sustained hits and the navigator was injured in the foot. Shortly afterwards the pilot again climbed to 2000 feet to clear high ground and to take advantage of three-tenths/five-tenths prefrontal cloud (Cu). After flying for 30 minutes American C-47s and gliders were seen on the ground ... and the pilot decided to carry on... Mayday calls were made on all channels without result... the pilot was unaware that the starboard tyre was punctured by cannon shells and as soon as he touched down the aircraft swung violently to starboard, both port and starboard undercarriage legs collapsed, and the Mosquito was severely damaged. Inspection of the aircraft revealed damage by cannon shells - presumably from Me 163s . One shell passed through the starboard engine nacelle, another though the starboard engine near the boss ...A flak shell also hit the blade of the starboard propeller, spraying the fuselage and starboard engine with fragments. Flying Officer R M Hays was awarded an immediate DFC for this action. DFC London Gazette 24 April 1945 “This officer was the pilot of an aircraft detailed for a reconnaissance covering the Leipzig area in March 1945. Whilst over the target, two enemy fighters attempted to close in. Pilot Officer Hays took violent evading action. Much height was lost. At this stage another enemy aircraft joined the fight. Pilot Officer Hays manoeuvred with great skill and although his aircraft was hit he succeeded in evading the attackers. The starboard engine had been badly damaged but course was set for home. Later on the return flight the aircraft was attacked by another fighter. Pilot Officer Hays manoeuvred with superb skill. Although the aircraft sustained further damage and the navigator was wounded, this pilot succeeded in evading the fighter. He afterwards flew to a landing ground in Allied territory. This officer, who has completed many sorties, has consistently shown courage and resolution.” (2) £1,500 - £2,000

Very few of these goggles were made and according to the vendor’s notes, it has been speculated they may have never developed further than the experimental stage. An example is displayed in the Yale Peabody Museum in America. Each set was contained in its custom made wooden case that held 8 pairs of coloured light ﬁlters and was intended to assist with locating and spotting enemy ships and submarines from the air under different conditions. For example, some were intended for looking through haze, whilst others were for spotting oil on the surface of water or again locating U Boat shadows.

SEC F.78’, 20cm high x 30cm wide x 19cm deep A quote from the ‘Air Raid Precaution Handbook No.8, The Duties of Air Raid Wardens’: “The cancellation of the local gas warning will be by handbells, rung through the streets of the [warden’s] sector. Handbells may also be used to repeat the Raiders Passed signal but only if gas is not about. Handbells will in fact be an “All Clear” signal, which is different from the Raiders Passed signal, since the latter will be sounded on receipt of the message from the national centre, whether or not there is gas in the locality.” Samuel Fiddian sold his business to James Barwell in 1840, who then continued to use the name on brass items such as this bell.

625* Zeppelin Raid. Eyewitness account of a Zeppelin raid over London on 8 September 1915, written by Arthur Hallimond of 6 Linden Gardens, Hornsey Lane, Highgate to his mother in Yorkshire, the 4 page 8vo letter inscribed “I thought you might like a really “red hot” account of tonight’s raid, so I write on the spot. Last night we had the explosions but saw very little as the bombs were dropped out near Waltham Cross, which is a good bit east of us. About half an hour ago I heard the bombs again, but nearer, and looked out first in the North, but saw nothing. Then towards the city I saw this object quite high up; these were flashes and evidently bombs dropping near the business quarter. It was a Zeppelin and the searchlights had found it. The anti a.c. guns soon got to work and the shells burst round it, they make a kind of humming noise like a socket, and a little flash when they burst. The first shots were wide, then they got it and it turned tail down. I got the telescope and looked at it, it was very pale grey, and came lower and nearer and finally passed almost directly over the flat. I did not see it through the other window, and the searchlights were at fault ... There was bright fire about in line with the bank but considerably nearer it is put out now” the writer has drawn a little diagram of the raid in the upper left corner, the lot also includes an unrelated 1909 Doncaster Aviation Contest Official Programme, complete but has been folded at some stage Arthur Francis Hallimond (1890-1968) was a long-standing friend of the vendor’s family. Arthur was a research mineralogist, and a hallimondite was named in his honour, he studied at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and at the time the letter was written he was in his first post as an Assistant Curator at the Museum of Practical Geology in London. On 8 September 1915, German Zeppelin L.13 commanded by Heinrich Mathy came inland over King’s Lynn at about 8.50pm and made its way over Hertfordshire to London. It dropped bombs over Golders Green before moving on to Aldersgate in Central London, killing 22 people and causing £500,000 worth of damage. 26 guns opened fire, from as far away as Woolwich and the last shots fired at 11pm, virtually all shells burst short of the target except one fired by the gun on Parliament Hill in North London which forced L.13 to climb steeply before making an exit near Caister shortly before 2am. Mathy was famously quoted “It is only a question of time before we join the rest. Everyone admits that they feel it. Our nerves are ruined by mistreatment. If anyone should say that he is not haunted by visions of burning airships, then he would be a braggart”. After further raids over London the following year his prediction became true and he was killed on 1-2 October 1916 whilst in command of L.31. Mathy is buried in Staffordshire, in a cemetery constructed for the burial of Germans killed on British soil. (2) £100 - £150

DFC London Gazette 13 September 1940 “During an offensive patrol in August 1940, this officer’s flight encountered about one hundred enemy aircraft. He led the flight in attack against them, but before this could be pressed home, he himself was attacked by a number of Messerschmitt 110s. Turning to meet them, he found himself in a stalled position; he spun out of it and immediately sighted and engaged a Dornier 215 which was shot down. Later in the day he destroyed a Messerschmitt 109. Altogether Flight Lieutenant Brothers has destroyed seven enemy aircraft. He has at all times displayed great courage and initiative.”

July 1940 saw the beginning of the Battle of Britain and the squadron was operating Hurricanes from Biggin Hill, flying three, sometimes four times a day. Brothers shot down seven fighters and a bomber over Kent before the end of August, three Bf 109s (19, 20 and 29 July), Bf 110 (16 August), Bf 10 and a Do 17 (18 August), Bf 109 (22, 24 August). On one occasion he returned home after a particularly difficult day to learn from his wife that a bomb splinter had come through an open window and shattered the mirror as she was applying her make up. Brothers is noted some years later for stating “It was then that decided the war had become personal.” On 9 September 1940 he was posted to 257 Squadron in Debden serving as Flight Commander, here he destroyed a Do 17 and a Ju 88 on the 15 September.

DFC Second Award Bar London Gazette 15 June 1943 “This officer has displayed outstanding keenness and efficiency. Within recent months he has led a wing in many operations and, by his skilful work and personal example, has contributed in a large measure to the high standard of operational efficiency of the formation. He has displayed great devotion to duty.”

The Combat Report for this action states: “On 15 September 1940, I was leading 8 Hurricanes of 257 Squadron over London when I sighted a formation of 25 Do. 17s and 215s in ﬁve lines of ﬁve aircraft in line abreast, all at 18,000 ft, with escorting yellow-nosed Me 109’s at 23,000 ft.

DSO London Gazette 3 November 1944 “Wing Commander Brothers is a courageous and outstanding leader whose splendid example has inspired all. He has led large formations of aircraft on many missions far into enemy territory. Much of the success obtained can be attributed to Wing Commander Brothers brilliant leadership. He has destroyed 13 enemy aircraft.”

I led a quarter attack developing into astern and fired a three-second burst at 250 yards, closing, at the middle backline Do. 17. The Dornier’s port engine and rear fuselage caught fire and as I followed it down the pilot baled-out. The other backline bombers focussed heavy but inaccurate fire on me but caused only minor damage. On breaking-away, I saw and attacked a lone Do. 215 which crashed two miles south of Sevenoaks.”

CBE London Gazette 13 June 1964 (Queen’s Birthday Honours)

In January 1941 Brothers was posted to 52 OTU serving as an instructor and promoted to Squadron Leader in June 1941. He was posted to Baignton to form 457 (Royal Australian Air Force) Squadron, with Australian pilots and RAF ground crew, here he commanded the Kenley Wing, and after a year of defensive ﬁghting Brothers claimed his twelfth victory a Bf 109 (26 March 1942), and a probable FW 190 (29 April).

Air Commodore Peter Malam “Pete” Brothers, CBE, DSO, DFC & Bar (19172008) was born in Prestwich, Lancashire. He was educated at North Manchester School. He learned to ﬂy at the Lancashire Aero Club aged 16 and joined the Royal Air Force in January 1936. After completing training Brothers was posted to 32 Squadron at Biggin Hill on 11 October 1936. Here the Squadron would practice ‘scrambles’ on a daily basis ﬂying Gloster Gauntlet biplanes to practice interception on civil airliners. In the winter of 1938 the Squadron were equipped with Hurricanes and Brothers became a Flight Commander.

From June 1942 he commanded 602 (City of Glasgow) Squadron at Redhill and on 26 June he damaged two FW 109s, on 18 August and destroyed a FW 190 and the following day damaged another. The following day on 19 August, Brothers led on the Dieppe Raid (Operation “Jubilee”). His Squadron destroyed ﬁve enemy aircraft and damaged ten. Flight Lieutenant Johnny Niven, D.F.C, was shot down and parachuted into the sea, Brothers circled overhead until a corvette rescued him.

Serving as ‘B’ Flight Commander in 32 Squadron fighting over Northern France he downed his first enemy aircraft in the final days of the Blitzkrieg, a Bf 109 on 18 May 1940 followed by a Bf 110 on 23 May.

Reproduced with courtesy of the Dilip Sarkar Archive. In October 1944 Brothers went to Fort Leavensworth, Kansas, America for a course at the Command and General Staff School, after returning to Britain early in 1945. In September 1945 Brothers took part in the first Battle of Britain flypast led by Douglas Bader. He was also posted to the Central Fighter Establishment, however, he was not offered a permanent commission in the post-war RAF, so he left to join Colonial Service in Kenya as a District Officer in 1947, owning his own aircraft which proved extremely useful for touring the area.

In October 1942 Brothers was appointed Wing Leader of the Tangmere Wing, here the squadrons were led by Red Grant and Johnnie Johnson. On 26 January 1943 Brothers destroyed a FW 109 and later on 29 July he was posted to 61 OTU and moved to a staff job at HQ 10 Group on 22 November. He destroyed a FW 190 on 12 January 1944. After a rest from at an operational unit, Brothers returned to operations in April 1944 and was appointed Wing Leader of the Exeter Wing. There were six squadrons in the Wing, scattered over various airfields and difficult to control. Brothers split the Wing into two and they went to Europe, sweeping over beaches and deep into Europe and on D-Day (6 June 1944) Brothers was flying mostly with 131 (County of Kent) Squadron from Culmhead. They flew daily sorties protecting allied troops, accompanying Allied (mostly USAAF) bombers and attacking targets when possible.

Brothers rejoined the RAF in 1949 and was posted to Bomber Command where he was given command of 57 (No. LVII) Squadron, the Squadron went to Singapore on 15 March 1950 and were the ﬁrst bomber squadron to participate in the Malayan Emergency. Air Commodore Peter Brothers retired from service after a long and distinguished career on 4 April 1973. From 1973 to 1986, he was Managing Director of Peter Brothers Consultants Ltd. He also appeared on many television documentaries about WWII and the Battle of Britain. He was also made a Freeman of the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators (a silver-gilt and enamel medal is included in the lot).

Brothers made sure his pilots flew at over 6000ft on these operations to avoid the perils of light flak. It was one of these sweeps that once again demonstrated his tactical mastery, taking on and destroying a flak train, ‘One of my pilots spotted a flak train steaming along below us.’ Brothers acknowledged his call, but ordered the formation to maintain course, giving the enemy the impression that they hadn’t been observed. ‘After flying on for a further twenty miles, I gave the order to drop down to the deck and turn back in towards the train.’ Following the progress of the smoke plume as the train vanished into thick wood, Brothers lined up ready to lead a single attacking pass. ‘We timed our approach perfectly, and as the engine emerged from the wood we were on our way, having left the engine a hissing wreck.’ Thomas (Nick) Hurricane Squadron Ace refers. On 7 August 1944 he destroyed a FW 190.

Air Commodore Peter Brothers flew an astonishing 875 operational hours and is credited in a final tally of 16 confirmed destroyed, 1 unconfirmed, 1 probable and 3 damaged giving him a place in history as one of the greatest WWII Air 'Aces'. (8) £120,000 - £160,000

METHODS OF PAYMENT Cheque: Cheques will only be accepted on the day of the sale by prior arrangement (please contact our office for further information). Cheques by post will be accepted but a period of 5 working days will be required for the cheque to clear before purchases can be collected or posted. Cash: Payments can be made at the Cashier’s Office, either during or after the sale. Debit Card: There is no additional charge for purchases made with debit cards in the UK. Credit Cards: We accept Visa and Mastercard. It is advisable to let your card provider know in advance if you are intending to purchase. This reduces the time needed to obtain authorisation when the payment is made. Bank Transfer: All transfers must state the relevant invoice number. If transferring from a foreign currency, the amount we receive must be the total due after the currency conversion and the deduction of any bank charges. Note to Overseas Clients: All payments must be made by bank transfer only. No card payments will be accepted unless by special prior arrangements with the auctioneers. Collection/Postage/Delivery: If you attend the auction in person and are successful in your bid, you are free to collect your item once payment has been made. Successful commission or live bids will be invoiced to you the day after the sale. When it is possible for our in-house packing department to send your purchase(s), a charge for postage/packing/insurance will be included in your invoice. Where it is not possible for our in-house packing department to send your item you will be required to make your own arrangements or to contact Mailboxes etc (tel: 01793 525009) or Pack and Send (tel: 01635 887237) who may be able to help. We provide a monthly delivery service to Central London, usually on Wednesday of the week following an auction. Payment must be received before this option can be requested. A charge will be added to your invoice for this service.

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE") Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite. Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's death. The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd. an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot. The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account. 3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 20% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 20% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
