@NRWGCharity His, is an absolutely remarkable story, recommend anyone with interest to read the Sea Wolf biography of him.

@WoodheadRoute Sadly, one of the prototypes that didn’t make it far.
Understand that ‘Falcons’ reliability was somewhat lacking.

Very happy the have found the memorial of Lieutenant-General Sir Ralph Abercrombie at Fort Almo, Valletta on the island of Malta.
Died following his wounds taken at the battle of Alexandria, 21March 1801.

@NRWGCharity A fantastic painting.
What never ceases to amaze me with the paintings from this era is the creativity and the image in the painter mind from what would have been written and verbal reporting.

19/Sept 2024, 225th anniversary, battle of Bergen, Nth Holland, 1799. Poorly coordinated offensive action from anglo British & Russian army resulted in them being unable to hold Bergen and retreating back to where they had started the day.
