In the Berkeley Hotel Reception

[flag4]

Hi hunters.
i was in the Berkeley Hotel in Beaumaris, Anglesey( North Wales) a few weeks back. we had popped in for a drink and couldnt find the bar(!) so i went to the reception to ask for help. and there above was this painting. i have never seen a real painting of a u boat before and was most suprised. i had the thought "..this will be the first thing guests will see as they approach reception.."

could any one tell us what types we are looking at - u boat & plane








maybe some one recognises the artist too. my only thought other than amazment at this being where it was, is that the nose cone seems to be flying slightly away from the wings. but i still sat with my drink and looked on fondly - what a lovely surprise!!
