AT THE DAYS END
Working with a combination of graphite and coloured paints on 'buff' coloured paper to create a unique sepia effect, Robert Taylor's outstanding Masterwork brings to life a moment during September 1940 at the height of the Battle of Britain. With an intuition unsurpassed by his peers, the world's foremost aviation artist depicts a group of battle-weary Spitfire pilots from 92 Squadron after a long day's fighting. Exhausted, they wait whilst ground crews hastily re-fuel and re-arm their aircraft at Biggin Hill ready for the next combat. No one knows when the alarm will sound but, when it does, they will, as always, be ready.

BAND OF BROTHERS
Robert Taylor's emotive new painting shows S for Sugar on the morning of 27th
April, 1944 after her 95th sortie - a raid on the ball-bearing factory at
Schweinfurt. As the battle-scarred bomber taxies in at RAF Waddington, other
467 Squadron Lancasters follow, heading for their dispersal points. Already the
weary crews begin their informal debriefing.
