Fairey Firefly, Naval aviation art prints of the Fairey Firefly in original naval aviation art print by Ivan Berryman HMS Theseus by Ivan Berryman

The Fairey Fireflywas a aircraft carrier borne fighter aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm   It was superior in performance and firepower to the Fulmer its predecessor, but did not enter operational service until towards the end of the war. The primary variant of the Fairy Firefly used during World war two was the Mk I, which was used in all theatres .  The first Firefly Mk Is was delivered  in March 1943 but they did not enter operational service until July 1944  with 1770 Squadron on HMS Indefatigable. Its first operations were in Europe where Fireflies made armed reconnaissance and anti-shipping strikes  along the Norwegian coast.  And in 1944 Fireflies also provided air cover during strikes on the Tirpitz

 The Firefly was used in many roles from fighter and also in anti submarine warfare and mainly used in the Pacific and Far East. Fireflies carried out attacks on oil refineries and  was the first British-designed and -built aircraft to over fly Tokyo.  , the Firefly remained in service after the war in the UK, and also in Canada, Australia, Denmark and the Netherlands  British and Australian Fireflies carried out anti-shipping patrols and ground strikes off various aircraft carriers during the Korean War and also in ground attack roles during the Malaysian campaign.   It remained a mainstay of the FAA until the mid-1950s when its role was taken by the Gannet

ARTIST
Featured Artist - Gerald Coulson



Gerald Coulson has been painting professionally for over 30 years and has a reputation that is second to none. Entirely self taught, he developed his technique to such a high standard that his work was published as fine art prints, enabling him to begin a full time painting career in 1969. Since that time his work, covering many different subjects, has been published and marketed worldwide as both open and limited edition prints. Gerald has had many one-man shows both in the UK and the USA and his work has been extensively exhibited throughout the world. A recent one man show of his in the UK attracted more than 3000 people in two days. The Fine Art Trade Guild have placed him in the top ten best selling artists no less than fifteen times - three times at number one. Coulson's passion for aircraft stems from childhood. This passion led to an apprenticeship as an aircraft engineer after which he served in the RAF as a technician and with British Airways as an engineer at Heathrow. His knowledge of aircraft engineering, combined with his drawing ability, led to him becoming a Technical Illustrator of service manuals for Civil and Military aircraft. These experiences and technical background have allowed him an insight and intimate knowledge of the aircraft he paints. Along with a unique ability to capture these aircraft on canvas this naturally led to a painting career which he has developed to successfully cover a wide variety of subjects. Following a trip to the 1991 British Grand Prix his interest in Motor racing was fuelled. His ability to capture the technical detail and a talent for painting subjects at speed meant that this was a perfect natural progression alongside his aviation work and he is now also firmly established as one of the worlds leading motor racing artists. A Vice President and founder member of the Guild of Aviation Artists he is a four times winner of the Flight International Trophy for outstanding aviation painting. He qualified for his pilots licence in 1960 and is still actively flying today - mostly vintage aircraft, and can often be seen buzzing over the Fens of Cambridgeshire in a Tiger Moth. Whatever the subject he paints, whether aviation, landscape or portrait, his unique ability to capture the realism and 'mood'of the scene is unsurpassed, making him one of the most widely collected and highly regarded artists in the world today.
