End of an Era by Gerald Coulson.


End of an Era by Gerald Coulson.

Entering service in 1951, the Shackleton has been seen worldwide performing anti-submarine and search and rescue duties prior to the installation of the radar necessary for the airborne early warning role in 1972 wit No.8 squadron. Phased out during 1991, and superseded by the Boeing E-3 Sentries, only six remain and are still with No.8 Squadron based at Lossiemouth. They are occasionally called upon to assist for search and rescue sorties and the dubious honour of operating in the conditions depicted. After forty years of sterling service the Shackleton deserves a tribute.

In this painting, the Sopwith Triplane N5468 named ANGEL of No.8 Naval Squadron is depicted around the time it was flying from St. Eloi in France in the summer of 1917. This aircraft clocked up more than 150 flying hours here before being sent to a training squadron at the end of the year. During this time, Captain Charles Jenner-Parson claimed at least two victories in this aircraft.

Tribute to 8 Naval Squadron by Ivan Berryman. 		Transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in 1916, and in 1918 was with No.8 Sqn flying the Armstrong Whitworth FK8 when he was awarded his Victoria Cross. He discovered the location of the German ground reserves and crucially got the information back to the Army, despite suffering a severe leg wound from enemy fighters. He remained in the RAF until the end of World War Two. He died in 1988. <br><br><b>Please note that this particular signature has been written in pen - not in pencil like most of our signatures.</b><br>
