708* Hancock (K.B., 20th century). For Valour, Cyril Barton VC, circa 1980, oil on canvas, signed lower left, brass name plaque to stretcher lower centre, framed The picture refers to the events on the night of 30 March 1944, when Pilot Officer Cyril Joe Barton (168669), Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, no.

578 Squadron, Bomber Command, was a captain and pilot of a Halifax aircraft detailed to attack Nuremberg. When some 70 miles short of the target, the aircraft was attacked by a Junkers 88. The first burst of fire from the enemy made the intercommunication system useless. One engine was damaged when a Messerschmitt 210 joined the fight. The bomber’s machine guns were out of action and the gunners were unable to return the fire. In the event, Barton continued with his mission and managed to release the bombs. He, and three crew members, managed to return to England in spite of lacking a propeller, navigational aids and having leaking petrol tanks. With only one engine working Barton made a gallant attempt to land clear of some houses but the aircraft finally crashed and Barton lost his life, but his three comrades survived.

767* The Historic Green Avro Hangar. A rare and historic piece of early aviation heritage.

Technical Information: The hangar is quite a small structure, the overall footprint is Width 67 ft (20.1 m) Depth 44 ft (13.2 m) Door/entrance ht. 11ft 6ins (3.45 m). (This can be increased by approximately 1 ft (30 cm) without difficulty).

Overall height 18ft (5.4 m) Total usable floor area 360 square metres (2,900 square feet) approximately.

The hangar is of steel girder construction, triangulation braced with steel angle and T-section lengths, all bolted together with the inclusion of fish plates, (no welds).

The total structure is covered with corrugated iron sheet. There is a set of windows on the rear wall and the centre triangular roof section is also glazed.

The hangar is both unique and visually appealing having two vaulted roofs joined by a triangular roof section.

It is rectangular in shape, with an integral workshop area at the rear of width 67 ft by 10 ft plus.

This “workshop” area is totally integral to the hangar and from the inside is one large open plan space without dividers or walls. It has a sloping corrugated iron roof and along the back wall are windows.

The front of the hangar is composed entirely of four sliding doors. These are of bolted light girder construction atop a substantial RSJ girder which in turn supports the cast iron wheels in their own protective boxes. Each door is clad in corrugated iron sheet.

On the RH wall of the hangar, (looking at it from the front), is a pedestrian steel door in steel frame. On the LH side of the hangar is an integral wind sock mast.

Internally the structure is made up of a set of substantial vertical rolled steel joists (RSJs), 8ins x 6ins (20 x 15 cm), augmented by a set of medium vertical RSJs and vertical T section steels, the latter primarily to aid the covering sheet fixings.

Around the tops are again substantial horizontal RSJs. Everything connects together by bolting with the use of steel fish plates.

Each lot is subject to a Buyer’s Premium of 20% (Lots marked * 24% inclusive of VAT @ 20%)

DW101-188 Militaria.qxp_Layout 1 24/04/2018 12:58 Page 35

On top of the horizontal RSJs are bolted lengths of timber (pitch pine). These timbers act as a bed to attach the steel barrel roof and triangular sections.

There is a decent size steel movable engine lifting block and tackle on one of the roof RSJs. We estimate a safe working load of 3 tons.

Prior to dismantling the hangar we carefully measured all distances, heights, levels and other dimensions using laser. All measurements were double-checked, logged and then used to draw up a set of plans for re-build.

These plans complement a previous set drawn up during 2014 by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council in conjunction with the airfield planning application.

It is a simple, straightforward robust structure having been on the one site since 1924, though we believe the hangar to be 101 years old.

Now it has been carefully dismantled and removed from site, suitable restoration can be achieved and forward shipped in a shipping container to a final destination.

Naturally there is some surface rust after such a period of time, mostly confined to the steel structural pieces that abutted directly to the iron cladding.

The team I employed to take the hangar down have done much work during the hangar restoration at Brooklands and Bicester heritage.

They have all the correct equipment to shot blast the surface rust off, prime and finish painting the steel work and supply suitable replacement nuts, bolts and washers. The dismantled hangar is currently stored in a 40-foot container in Oxfordshire.

The history of this piece of aviation heritage is unique. A.V. Roe, the earliest of Britain’s aeronautical designer, constructor, pilot and aircraft factory pioneers, built some of his machines during 1908 and onwards on the ground floor of his brother’s mill in Manchester.

Prior to World War One he had successfully developed the Avro 504, which went on to have a production run of over 10,000 machines throughout WWI and up until the early 1930s.

During WWI, the British government set up “Aircraft Acceptance Parks” (AAPs) throughout the country. One such AAP was established at Alexandra Park during 1917. This was used primarily by Avro to ship in sub-structures, build up Avro 504s, flight test and formally hand over the finished product to the RFC or RNAS. With the ending of the war Avro remained at Alexander Park constructing and repairing aircraft and starting embryo commercial flying activities until 1924 when he was “given notice to quit”.

774* BAC - Sud Aviation Concorde. Airborne Weather Radar System, manufactured by EKCO Avionics as used on the Concorde prototype, with stores reference plate serial no. 66 267 00600, 15cm high x 15cm wide x 38cm deep By 1966 EKCO had embarked on what was to prove their last major civil development, the E390 system, being specifically designed to meet the challenge of producing weather radar for Concorde. The unique Concorde operational requirement meant that EKCO had to overcome many new problems. Of the notable challenges, one of which was that the radar signal being emitted and returned had to electronically compensated whenever the droop snoot visor was operated since the refraction angle changed.

The second problem was that due to the heat within the nose, conventional soft solder could not be used for soldering connections etc, therefore a high temperature solder had to be developed. With the speed of Concorde, the conventional maximum range of 180 miles was deemed inadequate and therefore a special ‘pencil beam’ with a 360 mile also had to developed.

Whille EKCO had always ensured duplication within its equipment, Concorde took this to new extremes whereby there were completely separate operating systems, literally everything was duplicated.

777* Battle of Britain. A section of a tail fin, believed to be from a from a Dornier 17M aircraft shot down over Blandford, Dorset on 21 July 1940, made of aluminium with a section of a large hakenkreuz (swastika) painted in black and white on green, with large tear and chipped paintwork, approx. 80 x 46cm (31.5 x 18ins) The panel was found by the current owner in the attic of 1 Markestone Cottages on the Child Okeford Estate in Dorset in February 1978. The cottage had previously been occupied by an estate gardener and his wife, and after their death the cottage was put up for sale and purchased by the current owner. According to their research the gardener had served in the Home Guard during WWII and the panel had been laid between beams in the attic until it was discovered by the vendor. It would appear the gardener was sent to guard the downed plane as part of his duties and then kept this piece as a “souvenir”. The crash is recorded in the book Images of War, Luftwaffe Bombers in the Battle of Britain by Andy Saunders. Dornier 17M (Wnr.780, 5F+OM of 4(F)/14) had been conducting a reconnaissance sortie checking road and rail traffic along the south coast of England on 21 July 1940. The aircraft was shot down by Hurricanes of 238 Squadron at 15.00hrs and crashed in flames and burned out at Nutford Farm, Blandford, Dorset. The three crew members were captured, all of them wounded and subsequently became prisoners of war. Sold as seen and worthy of further research.

780* Bomber Command. WWII aircrew ladder used on Lancaster and Wellington Bombers, green painted hollow steel with 5 rungs with aluminium hooks and pivotal feet, stamped AWA 32 and A 864 Z1311/10 A similar ladder can be seen in photographs of the Dambusters crew prior to the raid.

(1) £200-300

Scarce lace panel, made to commemorate the Battle of Britain and as a tribute to those who fought; only thirty-eight were woven, after which the jacquards were destroyed. The design and weaving of the panels apparently took over three years to complete, and 40,000 jacquard pattern cards, 975 bobbins and 41,830m of cotton were required for each. Amongst those presented with a panel were King George VI and Sir Winston Churchill, Westminster Abbey, the City of London and the City of Nottingham, employees of the manufacturing company, various RAF units, and the Commonwealth countries of New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and Australia. The panel offered here is most unusual, being without the upper portion and therefore shorter than usual, and yet the stitching along the top edge is uniform with the other three sides (although not scalloped), suggesting that the panel is as it came off the loom.

782* Boultbee Monoplane, 1909, the unique 1909 Sidney Holland Monoplane propeller by Gardiner & Boultbee, of two-blade propeller of steel construction with conchoidal blades and concave on the driving side with traces of stencil markings ‘Gardiner & Boultbee Monoplane 1909, 22ft Span x Ft 6in Length 22.5ft’, with central boss united by metal struts, 183cm (72ins) long, general flaking and loss of paint commensurate with age Provenance: By family descent. The vendor’s grandfather (James Gardiner) of Woolton, Liverpool and his partner Harold Dalton Boultbee purchased the propeller for use on their monoplane aeroplane which they built in 1909. They designed a single seater, midwing monoplane, with a fuselage constructed of steel tubing in 1909. The wing was constructed of wood and warping was used for lateral control. The control system was covered by patent No.14990/1909. The undercarriage was fitted with long coil springs and was raked well forward as a precaution, owing to uncertainty about the fore or aft balance.

It was to be retractable in flight and was covered by patent No.17291/1909. A strut with tail wheel was also fitted. The engine used was a 12 h.p. rotary built by Scott of Gloucester, with its two cylinders set at 180 degrees to each other and believed to be the first Scott engine constructed. When the time came for testing, terrific vibration shook the machine and the engine gradually stopped as the exhaust cams became circular owing to their not having been hardened. Boultbee and Gardiner’s operational HQ, a portable hangar, was on some ground across the River Dee, and a firm of engineers proposed that together they should set up a company there to manufacture aeroplanes. Gardiner would not agree and the partners separated with work on the machine stopped at an advanced stage. Boultbee later held various senior design positions at Bristol and Handley Page and for a time, between the wars, had his own company, The Civilian Aircraft Co. The aeroplane is featured in British Aircraft before The Great War by Michael H. Goodall and Albert E. Tagg (Schiffer Publishing Ltd., 2001).

Pierre-Alexis Fletcher proudly holding the 1.84m propeller which belonged to his great grandfather James Gardiner who, with partner Boultbee, built their own monoplane in 1909. Wingspan 32ft x 6ft, and fuselage 22ft.

These were the standard optical sighting system used by the Royal Observer Corps to determine the location of aircraft. Used in service from the 1930s to 1950s, this example is dated 1935 and would have almost certainly been used during The Battle of Britain in 1940. The operator was required to estimate the altitude of the aircraft and enter that into the device, then point a mechanical indicator, or sight, at the aircraft. The motion of the sight moved an indicator on a small Ordnance Survey National Grid map.

The grid indicated by the pointer was then telephoned to central control rooms, where several such reports were combines to produce a more accurate location estimate. Later models added the Micklethwait Height Corrector, which allows the posts to measure altitude with some accuracy and this improve the quality of the measurements.

The copied photographs included in the lot shows him in the cockpit of a Corsair wearing his flying jacket, another showing him and a Corsair being retrieved from falling over the edge of an aircraft carrier.

He fought on the Somme in 1916 and became the first black combat officer in the British army, despite a military rule excluding black soldiers from exercising actual command. William was also a casualty of the Great War, dying at home in Folkestone, Kent, on 12 March 1920, from tuberculosis, probably an effect of the gas poisoning he sustained in the trenches on the Western Front.

London Gazette 27 December 1940 ‘For good services in action against an enemy raider’.

J.9264 Able Seaman Arthur Frederick Fisher, DSM, Royal Navy was born in Market Harborough, Leicestershire in 1894, he joined the Royal Navy on 17 August 1917, served in various ships including HMS Marlborough from 2 June 1914 to 1 November 1920. He re-engaged for service during WWII on 7 September 1939.

His service saw him taking part in two historical events, one being the evacuation of the Romanov family in 1919, the other the duel against the German raider Thor in 1940.

HMS Marlborough. After the 1917 Russian Revolution members of the Imperial Russian family had fled to the relative safety of the Crimea, but nine months after the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II, his wife and five children, King George V ordered the Royal Navy to evacuate the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna (mother of Tsar Nicholas II and sister of Queen Alexandra), Grand Duke Nicholas and 15 other members of the Romanov family. On 7 April 1919 HMS Marlborough arrived in the Crimean city of Yalta. The voyage lasted 14 days, arriving in Malta on 21 April. An account of the presentation of the cigarette case included in this lot is recorded in the book Close of a Dynasty (1956) by Vice-Admiral Sir Francis Pridham K.B.E., C.B., who was in command during the voyage from Yalta to Malta: ‘The day after the departure of the Dowager Empress Marie, Prince Youssoupoff and Admiral Viassemsky came on board to present, on behalf of Her Majesty and the Grand Dukes and others, £125 to be distributed to the thirty-five cooks and attendants who had, as they put it, so efficiently and cheerfully looked after the needs of the Imperial party It was decided not to present the whole sum in cash but to present each man with a cigarette case inscribed to commemorate the occasion.’

HMS Alcantara was an armed merchant cruiser (ex-Royal Mail Line) commanded by Captain J.J.P. Ingham, R.N. who won a D.S.O. at Jutland. In January 1940 the Alcantara was sent to the South American coast where she was ordered to patrol the “Pernambuco Watch” and keep an eye on the island of Trinidad. In mid-July 1940, Naval intelligence were alerted that a German raider was due to arrive in the vicinity. On the morning of 27 July, the German raider Thor (commanded by Kapitan Otto Kahler) was spotted and this soon escalated into a ferocious duel. A shell burst over the Alcantara’s quarter deck, killing the trainer of the P4 6-inch gun and knocking out the ship’s wireless transmitter aerials. Another shell hit the deck causing considerable damage, two more then hitting the starboard side, tearing gaping holes. The Thor continued its attack leaving the Alcantara severely damaged but able to return fire, causing the Thor to flee. The Thor went on to become the most successful commerce raider of the war, claiming 22 victims. A total of 6 DSMs were awarded for this action, including one to Petty Officer W.C. Mudge which was sold at DNW on 13 December 2007 (Lot 77).

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.

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.

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.

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.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS AFTER THE AUCTION Online Results: If you weren’t present or able to follow the auction live, you can find results for the sale on our website shortly after the sale has ended.

Payment: The price you pay is the amount at which the auctioneer’s hammer falls (the hammer price), plus a buyer’s premium (a percentage of the final hammer price) and vat where applicable. You will be issued with an invoice made out to the name and address provided on your registration form.

Please note successful bids made via live bidding cannot be invoiced or paid for until the day after an auction. A live bidding fee of 3% + vat will be added to your invoice.

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.
