image V-2 Prototype Missile 'Model No.9' 1/3 scale (151x33cm) aluminium main body, stainless steel fins, and wood nose cone, impressed 'U of M WRRC 6024B' on base. Loaned in 1954 to the Microwave Radiation Company Inc, Venice California for the "performance of work on subcontract dated January 5 1954”, with the original packing slip detailing the return of the missile to the Willow Run Research Center, University of Michigan, used for field test programs including measurement of radar cross sections carried out at the Holloman Air Development Centre, secured in original wooden packing case. (163x32x31cm). Weighs 50kg (model 25kg, packing case 25kg). [NB: The cardboard cutout 'Rocket Man' is not part of the lot] Successor to the V-1 or ‘Doodle Bug’, the V-2 was the world's first long-range guided ballistic missile. Powered by a liquid-propellant rocket engine, it was developed during World War II in Nazi Germany as a "vengeance weapon", designed to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings of German cities. Beginning in 1944, more than three thousand V-2s were launched by the Nazi Wehrmacht against London and later Antwerp and Liege, both in Belgium. It was the progenitor of all modern rockets including those used by the United States and Soviet Union's space programmes, and was the first man-made object to travel into space. During the aftermath of WWII the American, Soviet and British Governments all gained access to the V-2’s technical designs and recruited the German scientists responsible for creating the rockets. Parts of almost 100 V-2 rockets were brought to the USA. The US Army undertook the task of assembling the rockets at White Sands, New Mexico, for research and experimentation by government agencies and universities to accelerate their development of their own rocket capabilities.

image HMVS Cerberus c.1865 watercolour by Josiah Taylor (1819-1877), minor water-stains at lower-left, framed, overall 104x52cm. HMVS Cerberus was a 'Monster' Class "breastwork monitor" with revolving turrets, and the first British naval ship to be solely steam-powered. Launched in 1871 as Flagship of the Victorian Navy, her flat-bottom and unimpressive appearance caused her to be ridiculed as the 'Floating Gasometer'. Following Federation, she was transferred to Commonwealth control & was a foundation ship of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) between 1911 and 1924, ending service as a secondary submarine tender. She was sold for scrap and, after being pillaged, was again sold to the City of Sandringham & was sunk to create a breakwater for the Black Rock Yacht Club. Her hulk is all that remains of the Australian colonial navies. Victoria's major naval shore facility is named HMAS Cerberus. The painting was commissioned by Sir George Frederic Verdon, Victoria's Treasurer &, from 1868, the Colony's first Agent-General in London. (Image1)
