Artist's Description
A shipment of crated Sea Gladiators, bound for Egypt, was diverted to Malta in 1940 and largely ignored until the aerial attacks began on the island. Six of the crated aircraft were rebuilt and brought into service, acting as the mainstay of aerial; defence of Malta against the SM79s and CR42s of the Italia air force. Two were lost in accidents and one was retained for spares leaving the legendary three, Faith, Hope and Charity to protect the island. Only Faith survived and some of the airframe is preserved in the museum in Malta. The image shows a typical engagement with the Gladiator poised to attack from height as the SM79s and escorting CR42s near the island.
About Pat Speirs
Have been interested in photography since just after WW2, when film became freely available again, using Kodak Autographic equipment. Graduated, in the 50's, to 35mm and was involved in photographic work during my 17 yrs as RAF aircrew - navigator. Since retirement and migrating to Canon digital equipment have been involved with two of my sons and one grandson in a considerable amount of photographic activity, particularly composite images. Now producing digital art prints with the major emphasis on classic warbird aviation. With son, Duncan, now becoming a well-known and published wild life photographer we have started, in 2017, a new gallery reflecting Scottish sea birds - and 'feathered' flight
