The Maritime Prints business is for sale. At 78 yrs of age and after 26 years I’ve reluctantly concluded that I need to draw stumps. But a huge amount of love and effort has gone into the project so it needs to go to someone who can lavish a similar amount of care on it - it’s been a hugely rewarding business. Is there anyone out there who would like to take it on? Please contact Rick Cosby on 01460 63776 or [email protected].

The last surviving CVS of the RN’s fleet once ARK ROYAL had been paid off prematurely by a hopelessly short-sighted goverment in 2010, ILLUSTRIOUS too has now gone. The class of three has been replaced by the immensely capable two carriers QUEEN ELIZABETH and PRINCE of WALES. This watercolour was painted by Max Cosby (1988) as a thank you present to Little F, Lt Cdr Johnnie Barnes-Yallowly, for inviting him onboard for some sea time in 2008.
