    What an interesting painting, would also love to buy a print. It shows two blimps from the RNAS aerodrome at Capel le Ferne, used to patrol on the lookout principally for U-boats as an integrated part of the Dover Patrol. The term blimp was coined by an officer at Capel le Ferne as it is the sound made when one flicks the envelope with ones thumb. The chap in the gondola is semaphoring to the destroyer leaving by the Western Entrance and/or the other blimp.
