Youngest child and only daughter of Stalin and his second wife Nadezhda Alliluyeva. It has often been reported that she was one of the very few persons Stalin deeply loved. Winston Churchill recalled her as `A handsome red-haired girl, who kissed her father dutifully..´ Svetlana was raised by a nanny when her mother committed suicide when she was only six. She did not learn the real cause of her mother´s death until she was fifteen. According to Svetlana´s memoir “Twenty Letters to a Friend” (1967), Stalin used to affectionately call her “Setanka the Housekeeper” as annotated on the present document. Svetlana defected in 1967 and became a U.S citizen. She only returned to the Soviet Union in 1984, and in 1992 became British citizen. Aurora was a 1900 Russian cruiser. It was considered a symbol of the 1917 Revolution for firing the shot to signal the revolutionaries to storm the Winter Palace. The Aurora is currently preserved as a museum ship in Saint Petersburg.

* MARY NEWBERY STURROCK (SCOTTISH 1890-1985),AN EXOTIC WOMANpen and ink on paper, signed with initials25.5cm x 13cmMounted, framed and under glassExhibited: Edinburgh, Bourne Fine Art, 'British Paintings'. October - November, 1982; and Edinburgh, Bourne Fine Art, 'Edinburgh Group 1988'. Cat no. 8.Labels verso: Bourne Fine Art, 4 Dundas Street, Edinburgh (Now The Fine Art Society).Note: Mary's parents were Francis Newbery (Director of Glasgow School of Art from 1885 - 1917) and Jessie Newbery (prominent "Glasgow Girl"), so it was no surprise that she would become a gifted artist. On 20th December 1899, the young Mary presented the key to the "new" Mackintosh designed Glasgow School of Art to Sir James King, Lord Provost of Glasgow at the official public opening ceremony. She went on study at the Glasgow School of Art and Cecile Walton became her closest friend. Both family's rented holiday homes at Walberswick, Suffolk which became a regular base for many of the Glasgow artists. In 1918 Mary married the artist Alick Riddell Sturrock RSA (1885 - 1953). Charles Rennie Makintosh was a close friend and they often painted the same flowers: Mary telling him the Latin names so that he could inscribe them correctly. Mary was known for her exquisite pen and ink and pencil drawing skills, often with botanical subject matter. Her output was relatively small but in her own right, she was an important and influencial artist.Additional note: The ceremonial key Mary presented to Sir James King in 1899 was offered at auction in Edinburgh in April 2018 and sold for £40,000 (premium) which almost certainly makes it the most valuable key ever sold at auction in Scotland.

PO Jimmy Corbin WW2 RAF Battle of Britain Pilot signed colour print 12x8 inch signed in pencil. Image of him in Uniform. Corbin arrived on No 66 Squadron as it moved south to Surrey in late August 1940, as the Battle was reaching its climax. Because he had so little experience, he was dispatched by his CO to the north of England for a few weeks' extra training before returning to No 66, which had moved to Gravesend. During the final month of the Battle, Corbin was in action over his native Kent. As the Battle of Britain was drawing to a close, Corbin's CO, Squadron Leader Athol Forbes, decided that 10 of his pilots should record their impressions of the great air battle while memories were fresh. He chose a cross section of officers and sergeants from different backgrounds and with different experiences Corbin was one of them. In between flying on operations, the 10 scribbled down their thoughts. Corbin contributed the third chapter of their classic book Ten Fighter Boys, which was published by Collins in 1942 and by which time five had perished. The book was reissued in 2008. In 2007 Corbin decided to complete his story, publishing his own book, Last of the Ten Fighter Boys. After his spell as an instructor, Corbin was commissioned and joined a Spitfire squadron sent to North Africa in support of Operation Torch, the Allied landings in Algeria and Morocco in November 1942. He saw a great deal of action with No 72 Squadron as the Allied armies moved eastwards towards Tunis, shooting down a Bf 109 with another probable and damaging at least three more fighters. He was also engaged on many sweeps shooting up motor transports and aircraft on the ground. During these operations, the Spitfires faced intense enemy ground fire, and Corbin recorded in his diary that he felt a little shaky at times. As the Allies closed on Tunis, he attacked a motor torpedo boat which exploded from the concentrated fire from his cannons; he also damaged two others. A few days later the war in North Africa was over and, after 450 hours' operational flying, Corbin was rested and returned to Britain to be a gunnery instructor. He was awarded a DFC. Good Condition.
