“A little more on ‘Formidable’ from my fathers diary.”
We are fortunate to be able to read this remarkable story, kindly sent by the son of the author after a chat over the phone while he was ordering 2 prints of the painting on page http://frickers.co.uk/marine-art/formidable_seafires.html.
Don’t hesitate to comment on this post below, particularly if you have a connection with Aircraft carriers.
