The commission was to last six months and he was posted to the Admiralty’s North Command. During this period Ravilious recorded the sea battles of the North Atlantic and the coastal defences, whilst the Battle of Britain raged overhead. Ravilious was commissioned again in July 1941, again attached to the Admiralty. Stormwas painted on the Isle of May, in Scotland, near the Firth of Forth. The weekly east coast convoys formed there to make their hazardous voyages down to Sheerness in Kent.
