James Field's Empress at Stavros 1916
A painting by my late father, James Field. He was an artist and illustrator with a passion for history. Below is the accompanying text he wrote at the time:
HMS empress a former L&SWR cross channel steamer, converted to a seaplane carrier, received three Short 166’s including two built by Westland’s (9754 and 9755) in October 1916. They were used for anti-submarine patrols in the north Aegean, 9754 being replaced by another Westland built 166 (9758) in November. By January 1917 these had all been transferred elsewhere in the Mediterranean. One of four of James' paintings included in 'The Art of Flight' celebrating 100 years of Westland built aircraft.
