U-Boat historical art by naval artist Ivan Berryman. U-boat 269 shown in naval art print under attack by B24 Liberator in naval art print U269 available from Cranston Fine Arts. 

U269 had been commissioned in July 1942 and now belonged to the 6th U-Boat Flotilla based at the occupied French port of St Nazaire. Sea trials of new equipment during April and May 1944 had resulted in U269 moving to the port of Brest and it was from here that her commander Oberleutnant Georg Uhl, began a patrol on 6th June. In the early hours of the morning of 11th June U269 was detected on the surface by Liberators radar approximately six miles away. The aircraft, commanded by F/L J Posnett, made visual contact shortly afterwards and began a depth charge attack during which time she was engaged by 20mm and 37mm anti-aircraft fire from the submarine. The Liberator's outer starboard engine was hit as was the fuselage and some control surfaces. The damage was sufficient to prevent all but one of the depth charges from releasing and the U-Boat sustained no damage.

The Liberators crew dealt with an onboard fire and jettisoned the remaining depth charges and the aircraft slowly regained height and eventually returned safely to base.  Having survived this attack U269 was attacked and sunk by the Frigate HMS Bickerton two weeks later. Thirty three of the crew were saved but the casualties included the commander.

ARTIST
Featured Artist - Graeme Lothian



Graeme Lothian is an artist whose ability has seen him apply his talent to many different subjects - military, aviation, naval and landscape art. Having spent time in the army, taking on adventures such as parachuting, firing bazookas and making an attempt to climb Mount Everest, the discipline he has obtained from his experiences has been key to allowing him to take on his first love - painting - full time. Graeme first took on painting full-time by producing paintings of WW2 aircraft, such as Spitfires and Messerschmitts, but over his career in art, now spanning over two decades, has also produced many military and naval pieces too. More recently, he has undertaken a masive project of painting the River Thames, from its source, through London and beyond, producing over 50 paintings in this series, as well as a book. Graeme Lothian describes himself as a landscape painter. The paintings may have a Tiger, Steam Train, Spitfire or Kentish Oasts in them, but they're still landscapes. Graeme started painting in 1978 in oils, a medium he has stayed with since then. Joining the Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces at the beginning of the 1980s, a parachuting accident curtailed his career and he returned to his first love - art. In the early 90s he formed a partnership with the late great Air Vice-Marshal Johnnie Johnson CB CBE DSO(two bars) DFC(bar) the top scoring Allied fighter pilot of WWII. Embarking on a career as an aviation artist, travelling all over Britain and Europe obtaining the signatures for his prints. Personally meeting the most famous aviators and top aces of both sides of the last war. Graemes first book An Artist on the Thames came out in 2004. His second, An Artist in London, which has taken 5 years to complete, is due to be published at the beginning of 2010. In between, he printed an Everest painting carrying the signatures of Sir Edmund Hillary and Sir Chris Bonnington. Graeme had solo exhibitions in 1981, 1989 in Sydney, Australia, 2007, 2008. In 2009, Graeme was one of only 56 other artists to exhibit at the internationally acclaimed and prestigious BP Portrait Awards at the National Portrait Gallery, London. In 2010 he is to go to Afghanistan as a war artist, one of only a select few to visit the war zone. He is being hosted by various units in the Helmand Province and Kandahar. Born in Sri Lanka, Graeme has painted all over the world including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, India and most recently Oman and Jordan. His originals hang all over the world and to date has had over 80 limited edition art prints published.
