THE AVIATION PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE OF PHILIP J.R. MOYES (1928-2017)

Philip J.R. Moyes was born in Darlington, Yorkshire, in 1928. Philip attended school in York and went on tocomplete National Service at an RAF station just outside the city at Linton-on-Ouse. As a teenager, during thewar years of 1939-1945, he developed a keen interest in aeroplanes, particularly the fighter and bombersquadrons of the RAF based at an airfield at Linton-on-Ouse, where he spent a lot of his free time aircraft-spotting. For the rest of his life Philip’s life was to revolve around the world of aviation, whether building hissuperb collection of aviation photographs offered here or using his expert knowledge to write about the subjectprofessionally.Prior to embarking on his writing career, he was employed at SBAC (Society of British Aircraft Constructors) inLondon and at the Bristol Aircraft Corporation base in Bristol in the 1950s. While working at SBAC he becameinvolved in the setting up and running of the press information for the Farnborough Air Show. This period gavePhilip a golden opportunity to make many important contacts in the aviation field and through them he wasable to obtain photographs both directly from the aircraft manufacturers of the time and aviation enthusiasts’private collections.During his lunch-breaks at SBAC, Philip used to walk across the road into the Air Ministry and research information for a book that hewanted to write documenting the history of the 'Bomber Squadrons of the RAF', which took him over four years to compile and was finallypublished in 1964. The book was a huge success and in the following years Philip increased his writing output both in the aviation bookand magazine areas, even conceiving, founding and editing the popular magazine ‘Aircraft Illustrated’. In his later years, he continued tocontribute written articles, photographic and archive materials to a plethora of aviation publications and writers while further buildinghis own extensive personal aviation collection.The photographs offered here are all meticulously gathered in folders labelled by aircraft type and comprise vintage and non-vintage mostlyblack and white photographs. Many images feature single aircraft (air and ground), but there are also multiple aircraft shots, close-ups of aircraftinteriors and some featuring aircraft personnel. Many have ink stamp credits to versos including manufacturer names, photographer stamps(e.g. Charles E. Brown), press photo caption labels and production mark-ups. Sizes vary, the majority being 20 x 25cm and smaller sizes.

The other three designs were widelydistributed and put to use in late 1939, but this one was retained for specialuse. It is estimated that over 2.5 million of the posters were printed andheld in storage while awaiting sanction for public display. A few werepossibly erroneously put out on the streets but the majority remained inthe warehouse until April 1940 when they were pulped as part of the PaperSalvage campaign. The Ministry of Information campaign was viewed as afailure, questions having been raised in the press and in government aboutcontent and style of the campaign. The poster remained forgotten until2000 when Barter Books in Alnwick found an example of this median sizeposter, since when a cache of five were discovered in the Midlands and afurther fifteen found in Cupar, Fife, Scotland. Examples are held in theImperial War Museum, London, and the British National Archives.

The followingafternoon the entire British party of six joined Hitler in the Great Hall there for a social gathering and tea. It was then that this photograph was presented.Printed below are account extracts of the occasion written by two of those also present, A.J. Sylvester, Lloyd George’s private secretary, and Thomas Jones,a close associate of the then prime minister Stanley Baldwin.‘It was probably half-past five when we sat down in a large circle of low and easy chairs for tea and coffee and slices of cold ham and halves of hard-boiled eggs… For some time the talk rambled over presentation of ancient buildings … At this point a signed photograph of the Führer was produced, in a case, and handedby him to L.G. who responded with the hope that Hitler would not object to share a table in L.G.’s house with photographs of Foch and President Wilson.From this point on the talk became more serious and impressive … Hitler spoke with a grave and sincere animation. Germany had lost the war [First WorldWar], that had happened to nations before … It was realized in Germany that if the war was won by the Allies, it was not due to the soldiers but to one greatstatesman – Lloyd George … Lloyd George, speaking with a tear in his throat, was deeply touched by the personal tribute of the Führer and was proud tohear it paid to him by the greatest German of the age …’Thomas Jones, A Diary with Letters, 1931–1950 (1954), pp. 248-52.(1) £15000-20000

“Germany does not want war. Hitler does not want war.He is a most remarkable personality, one of the greatestI have ever met in the whole of my life, and I have metsome very great men”David Lloyd George, September 1936

‘We all sat in easy chairs round a very low tea-table, onwhich candles were lit. It was a wonderful setting. It wasa great moment when Hitler handed to L.G. abeautifully framed and autographed photograph ofhimself. L.G. immediately rose and shook Hitler verywarmly by the hand. L.G. was immensely pleased withthis. We had taken a number of photographs of Hitlerwith us and, after he had signed these, we took ourleave. A most remarkable experience.’A.J. Sylvester, Life with Lloyd George, (1975), pp. 149-150.
