Artist Stuart Brown
After two years training in Art & Graphics and four years
studying Technical Illustration, Stuart Brown began his career with
a small firm of illustrators before moving on to a large graphic
design studio. His commercial work varied enormously in subject
matter and Brown became more of an in-house commercial artist, but
always with a flair for technical subjects. His most rewarding work
over the ten years included major exhibitions for agencies of the UK
Ministry of Defence.
Stuart Brown has always had a passion for aviation. He is a
paragliding instructor and keen skydiver; part of a freefall
formation team that frequently travels the world to sample various
drop zones.

The Berlin Express by Stuart BrownDuring the climactic phases of WWII, the powerful De Haviland Mosquito,
allowed aircrews to fly up to three sorties in twenty-four hours. The
German capital was attacked with such regularity the inhabitants
christened the high-speed bomber 'The Berlin Express'. Signed by Air Marshal Sir Ivor Broom and Wing Commander Joe Singleton.
Air Marshal Sir Ivor Broom began his operational career
flying Bristol Blenheims as a Sgt pilot. He amassed a total of 103 bombing
raids in the Blenheim and the Mosquito, 22 of which were on the heavily
defended German capitol Berlin. By the end of hostilities, Sir Ivor Broom
had risen to the rank of Wing Commander (163 Squadron, 8 Group). He became
Air Marshal after the war and received his knighthood in 1975.
Wing Commander Joe Singleton flew the Mosquito in both
the offensive and defensive role. During the latter, his more notable
engagements included downing three Ju88's in a matter of minutes. The
three aircraft were pathfinders for a much larger force heading for the
city of Hull. The interception of these three aircraft effectively put an
end to the success of the enemy raid.
GR3 Field Trip by Stuart Brown Harrier GR3s of No. 1 squadron in a secluded hide following a field
exercise. The unique vertical take off capabilities of the Harrier allow
front-line squadrons to deploy from dispersed sites. Signed by Chief of Air Staff Sir Peter Squire and test pilot John
Farley. Chief of Air Staff Sir Peter Squire began his operational flying
career flying Hunters in Singapore. He became an instructor on the Hunter
before flying Gnats with the Red Arrows, later returning to operational
flying on the Harrier. In 1981 he took command of No.1 Squadron, RAF
Wittering and during the battle for the Falklands, led the Squadron into
action for which he received the Distinguished Flying Cross. John Farley is a highly respected test pilot who has flown all
variants of the Harrier family. After time as a flying instructor at
Cranwell, he joined the Empire Test Pilots School at RAE Bedford. As
project test pilot on the P1127 in 1964, he started what was to become 19
years of Harrier test flying. In his career he has flown over 80 types of
aircraft and in 1990 became the first western pilot invited to fly the
Russian Mig-29.

The most incredible 614mph freefall from the edge of space, celebrated
in this superb limited edition print signed by the skydiving legend
himself, Colonel Joe W Kittinger. Kittinger performed three extreme altitude jumps during August 1960 as
part of the USAF research project 'Excelsior' - a precursor to the US
space race designed to test human survivability. Excelsior III was the
climax of the operation. Leaping from the gondola of a 200ft diameter
helium balloon, Kittinger spent four minutes, thirty six seconds in
freefall. Passing through 90,000ft, his speed reached an incredible 614mph
(almost the speed of sound in the thin freezing air of the upper
atmosphere) before his multi-stage parachute slowed descent - opening the
'main' at 18,000ft. This historic jump set an altitude record that still
stands at the time of writing. Signed by Colonel Joe W Kittinger.
