HRH Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh
 

Somewhere I found the attached photo of a painting of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. I can't remember where.
It's a pity I don't know the artist's name. Can anyone help?
The rank insignia show "Marshal of the Royal Air Force", right?
In another forum I was told the original painting is hanging in College Hall at RAF Cranwell.

He received the Honorary title Marshal of the Royal Air Force in 1953.

"Roger Bacon", way back in FLIGHT, published a photo of this 'luminary' at the controls of a 748 . He, the pilot, has turned half round to the camera, a large part of the instrument panel in view. His expression is a little quizzical. The absolutely ripper caption reads - "Either the left engine has failed, or it's a quarter past two."

A recent issue of the English language paper from Kerala State had a piece on Philip's recent retirement from all official engagements. It concluded with a reference to his "great tact". He was on a guided tour of a factory once in Birmingham. As he passed a large fuse box in a state of disrepair he said about it - "Damn thing looks like it was put in by a bloody Indian." On another occasion, when a young female member of the English royal family was leaving to visit China, his choice remark to her was - "Don't you come back home with a slitty-eyed baby."

One Melbourne Australia family, who hosted him on an overnight visit, have good reason not to hold him in high regard. Were I to explain, I think I might be BANNED.

You've got the "slitty-eyed" story completely wrong.
