History of the battle Bannockburn 1314, between Robert the Bruce's army and the English army of Edward II, well documented in the book by Pete Armstrong. Published by Osprey Books, available from the military print company.

Bannockburn was the climax of the career of King Robert the Bruce.  In 1307 King Edward I of England, 'The Hammer of the Scots' and nemesis of William Wallace, died.  His son, Edward II, was not of the same mould.  Idle and apathetic, he allowed the Scots the chance to recover from the grievous punishment inflicted upon them.  By 1314 Bruce had captured every major English-held castle bar Stirling and Edward II took an army north to subdue the Scots.  Pete Armstrong's account of this pivotal campaign culminates at the decisive battle of Bannockburn that finally won Scotland her independence.

ARTIST
Featured Artist - Ivan Berryman



Art and aviation have been like a brother and sister to me. We have grown up together, learned together and made our adult lives together. But you do not have to have an appreciation of aircraft to admire the graceful lines of a Spitfire or the functional simplicity of a Focke-Wulf 190. They are themselves a work of art and they cry out to be painted - not as machines of war and destruction, but as objects of beauty, born of necessity and function, yet given a life and iconic classicism beyond their original calling. My interest and love of art and aircraft was gifted to me by my father, a designer and aeronautical engineer of considerable repute. Denis Berryman C.Eng. FRAeS. He gave me his eyes, his passion, his dedication and his unwavering professionalism. I owe him everything. And I miss him terribly. A love of art and of beautiful and interesting things takes you on a journey. You discover new interests, new fascinations, and you want to paint them. You want to paint them in their environment, in their element. Whether it is an aeroplane, a warship, a racing car or a beautiful woman, their gift to an artist is the same: Their lines, their texture and the way that light and shadows give them form. These are the food and oxygen of an artist. Not the paint and the canvas. These are mere tools. The secret is in the passion and the perception.
