"HMS Glorious Prints" (c. WW II)

NOTE: The words SAMPLE IMAGE do not appear on purchased prints.

This private commission painting depicts the Aircraft Carrier HMS Glorious in her fateful encounter with the German battlecruisers KMS Gneisnau and Scharnhorst on 8th June 1940. She was en route to U.K. having rescued several RAF Hurricanes and their pilots from Norway. (Coincidentally proving it was possible to land modern fighters on aircraft carriers). She, and her two escorting destroyers, HMS Ardent and HMS Acasta were caught unprepared by the Germans. All three ships were sunk despite gallant action by the much smaller destroyers, which laid covering smoke and engaged the two battlecruisers.
