Commissioned by one of the Corsair pilots stationed at HMS Rajaliya
in 1942, Robert Taylor’s superb painting Puttalam Elephants is one of many
originals by Robert hanging in the wonderful art collection of the Fleet
Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton. Much admired by tens of thousands of visitors
each year, this painting depicts the unusual tactics as employed at Puttalam
in order to keep the land based naval fighters flying. Operating happily
in conditions where towing tractors became quickly bogged down, the Puttalam
Elephants provided an invaluable service, and became much loved by the
pilots and ground crews.
