I've got two of Ron's prints mounted in rimu frames.
The Short Solent 4 flying-boat ZK-AMO “Aranui” taking off from Evans Bay in Wellington. A cropped version of this painting appeared on the dust cover of the book “The Golden Age of New Zealand Flying Boats” by Paul Harrison with Brian Lockstone and Andy Anderson.
The painting of Fox Moth ZK-ADI on the beach at Bruce Bay. This appeared on the front cover of the book “When The Coast Is Clear — The Story of New Zealand's First and Most Unique Licensed Scheduled Air Service — South Westland 1934-1967” by Richard Waugh, John King and Paul Beauchamp Legg.
The painting by Ron Fulstow I would really love to have a print of is the one which appeared on the cover of “Early Risers — The Pioneering Story of Gisborne and Hawkes Bay Aviation” by Richard Waugh, John King and David Phillips, depicting ZK-ADR “Huia” over Poverty Bay with Young Nick's Head in the background. If this painting ever was released as prints, I missed it. Whether or not it ever was, I don't know.

Found an obit in "The Air Historian", the Journal of the Aviation Historical Society of New Zealand March 2016. I will check to ensure I can publish it. If you wish, a copy of the journal is probably available from the society for $10.

Here are Helena's artworks. She says, "Here's the incredible oils that I am so fortunate to own that were painted by Ron Fulstow. I would appreciate any information I can gather with regards to these or Ron himself. I have been in contact with his daughter Pip, who would also love to hear more. Thanks.
Kindest regards,
HelenaR"I'll add my own remarks below - Dave   Yak 3, Polikarpov I-16 Rata and Polikarpov I-153 Chaika, all types once flown in Sir Tim Wallis's Alpine Fighter Collection in the 1990's, but seen here over a battle scene  Something Soviet, is it a Lagg? Or a Mig?  That is the three Spitfires that belonged to Sir Tim Wallis's Alpine Fighter Collection in the 1990's  Sir Tim Wallis's Spitfire and Hurricane flying with the Old Flying Machine Company's Corsair |

** Update ** I have been given contact details for Sir Tim Wallis and hope to speak with him personally later this afternoon....a bit excited!! will let you know the outcome.....  3/5/18....I have spoken with Sir Tim Wallis over the phone and had a great chat! He gave me a little info about a couple of his planes in our conversation and to add to that, Sir Tim (has written and) is sending me a little information about the paintings so I can attach it to each of them. How fortunate am I!! To add to that...I am also going to meet him at the next "Warbirds Over Wanaka" show and will be taking the paintings for him to see. WOW!! In more ways than one Thanks for the information provided above....I will update when I get written details through. |
