Led by wing commander Guy Gibson the 19 aircraft took off and headed for Germany at extreme low level.. Their mission, code named Operation Chastise, was to destroy the Ruhr dams which supplied water and electricity to the industrial heart of Reich.

The Veteran by Simon Smith.


The Veteran by Simon Smith.

Our Gal Sal, a veteran of over a hundred ops, returning to base in the summer of 1944. The peace of the English country side is broken by the thunder of the mighty four engined bombers and keen observers will spot the rabbit scampering along the country lane as the Forts of the Bloody 100th circle the Airbase. With one engine feathered and showing signs of the gauntlet of Flak and fighters she has had to come through, the crew know they are only moments away from the safety of home.

Breaching the Eder by Simon Smith.


Breaching the Eder by Simon Smith.

On the night of 16th / 17th May 1943, Lancasters of 617 Squadron under the command of Wing Commander Guy Gibson attacked the hydroelectric dams of the Ruhr. Five of the aircraft that successfully attacked and breached the Mohne flew onto the Eder, only three with the Upkeep bombs still on board. Whilst there was no flak, the approach, over difficult terrain, was hazardous and a tremendous test of skills of the crews involved. Pilot Officer Les Knights aircraft, AFN, can be seen having just dropped the last of the groups bombs, which actually breached the dam, and is climbing steeply to avoid the hill behind the dam.

Mission Completed by Simon Smith  Depicting the morning after a gruelling operation during the autumn of 1944. As day breaks a returning crew awaits the crew bus at their aircraft dispersal, grouped before their mighty bomber which shows fresh scars of battle from an arduous mission over occupied Europe. The exhausted men are clearly relieved and thankful to be safely home at their in Lincolnshire base.

Breaching the Eder by Simon Smith  Depicts Lancaster AJ-N of pilot officer Les Knight having just dropped the final bomb which actually breached the dam, climbing steeply to avoid the mountain behind the dam. So moved by Simon Smith's reproduction of the event, Flight Lieutenant Edward C Johnson DFC took the unprecedented step of endorsing the painting itself with his signature, as well as the first 400 copies of the print.  Signature: Edward C Johnson - bomb aimer, Ray Grayston - Flight Engineer, Frederick Sutherland - RCAF Rear Gunner.

This epic story of the Dam Busters needs little introduction. An elite squadron of hand-picked airmen were put together under the command of Wing commander Guy Gibson. Their mission was to destroy the hydroelectric dams of the Ruhr, causing millions of tons of water to crash into the German munitions factories. The best known of the dams is of course, the heavily defended Mohna which was the first to be breached. Having destroyed this dam, five of the remaining aircraft, only three still carrying Barnes Wallis' famous 'Upkeep' bomb flew onto their second, but no less important target, the Eder Dam. Although defended by flak, the Eder was surrounded on all sides by steep mountains making the approach extremely hazardous.

Dambusters Outward Bound by Simon Smith  Depicts the aircraft setting out over Norfolk prior to their epic mission, available signed by artist only or  also countersigned by two members of the squadron. and artist proofs with two further members of this elite squad.

ARTIST
Featured Artist - Ivan Berryman



Art and aviation have been like a brother and sister to me. We have grown up together, learned together and made our adult lives together. But you do not have to have an appreciation of aircraft to admire the graceful lines of a Spitfire or the functional simplicity of a Focke-Wulf 190. They are themselves a work of art and they cry out to be painted - not as machines of war and destruction, but as objects of beauty, born of necessity and function, yet given a life and iconic classicism beyond their original calling. My interest and love of art and aircraft was gifted to me by my father, a designer and aeronautical engineer of considerable repute. Denis Berryman C.Eng. FRAeS. He gave me his eyes, his passion, his dedication and his unwavering professionalism. I owe him everything. And I miss him terribly. A love of art and of beautiful and interesting things takes you on a journey. You discover new interests, new fascinations, and you want to paint them. You want to paint them in their environment, in their element. Whether it is an aeroplane, a warship, a racing car or a beautiful woman, their gift to an artist is the same: Their lines, their texture and the way that light and shadows give them form. These are the food and oxygen of an artist. Not the paint and the canvas. These are mere tools. The secret is in the passion and the perception...

New Dambusters Paintings, Prints and Drawings!



A brand new series of releases featuring the aircraft and airmen of the Dambusters Raid.

This superb new collection of aviation art shows may of the famous events of the raids, but also shows some of the lesser known aircraft and details - the bomber that was so low that the tallboy bomb was ripped from the aircraft by a high wave (above), or the below treetop route to the target taken by one of the bombers, or the trains that were shot up by the gunners of the Lancasters on their way to the dams.
