--- Sir Francis Chichester and Gipsy Moth ---

Gipsy Moth IV, the famous yacht that Francis Chichester sailed around the world, is about to return to her position in history outside the Greenwich Maritime Museum, London, after an extensive restoration.

To mark the occasion, PPL has been privileged to pull together an archive of the best pictures of Sir Francis Chichester's famous voyages from the family albums held by his son Giles Chichester. These include pictures of the master navigator landing his Gipsy Moth biplane in Sydney, and many previously unpublished pictures of Chichester's voyages on Gipsy Moth IV and V.

The pictures are available from PPL for publishing either as high resolution digital files or in B&W print form .
