C. W. Glover (active 1950-1968). Half Length Portrait of Sir Barnes Wallis wearing a navy jacket, white shirt and Christ's Hospital School tie, oil on canvas, signed and dated 1968, 66cm x 56cm, within a gilt composition frame. Provenance: Sir Barnes Wallis thence by descent. Note: Sir Barnes Wallis was educated at Christ's Hospital between 1900 and 1904, and he retained a close and enduring connection with the school throughout his life. His affection for the institution was demonstrated in a remarkable act of generosity: he donated the 10,000 pound award he received from the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors in recognition of his wartime work. Wallis directed the entire sum to Christ's Hospital to assist the children of those who had served in the Royal Air Force. In partnership with the RAF Benevolent Fund, which matched his gift, a dedicated trust was established to administer the award. Since its foundation in 1952, the Trust has supported more than 150 pupils. Each beneficiary has worn the distinctive Foundationers' badge, specially designed by Wallis himself. This work has been on loan with the Royal Air Force Museum for over 28 years.

Will Spencer (1921-2002) "Animal Crackers: When we go to England I want to try those Barnes-Wallis adjustable wings!", ink with watercolour, signed with initials and inscribed, 23cm h x 14cm w. Provenance: Sir Barnes Wallis thence by descent. Note: In 1954 Spencer joined the News Chronicle to start the "Animal Crackers" pocket cartoon series. This ran in the News Chronicle until that paper was absorbed by the Daily Mail in October 1960, when it continued in the combined paper. The Daily Mail continued to feature "Animal Crackers" until May 1971, when the newspaper was redesigned as a tabloid and the series was dropped. This work, depicting swallows in flight, alludes to Sir Barnes Wallis's pioneering "Swallow" project of the 1950s. During this period, Wallis advanced a bold variable-geometry concept he termed the "wing-controlled aerodyne", conceived to maximise the efficiency and economy of high-speed flight. His earliest investigations took shape in the "Wild Goose" study, which laid the groundwork for subsequent developments. Wallis later refined these ideas into the "Swallow", a tailless, blended-wing aircraft envisioned as capable of completing return journeys between Europe and Australia in under ten hours - an extraordinary ambition for its time. As the project evolved, the Swallow was increasingly regarded as a potential supersonic successor to the RAF's subsonic Vickers Valiant bomber. Throughout the mid-1950s, various models of the design were tested with promising results, including a six-foot scale model that achieved speeds approaching Mach 2. Despite its technical promise, the programme was curtailed in 1957 when the British government withdrew support from several advanced aeronautical initiatives, bringing Wallis' visionary work on the Swallow to an end.
