COASTAL PATROL - THE GICLEE CANVAS PROOF
This early painting by the remarkably gifted artist Richard Taylor depicts Mk.I Spitfires of 610 Squadron flying a defensive patrol low over the White Cliffs during the height of the Battle of Britain in August 1940. An iconic scene that symbolises a crucial period in history.

COMING HOME TO KIRKBY
The Avro Lancaster formed the backbone of RAF Bomber Command and was considered by many as the best bomber aircraft of WWII. 630 Squadron formed at East Kirkby in November 1943 as part of Bomber Command's strategic bombing campaign. Equipped with Lancasters, they often flew together with 57 Squadron from their shared Lincolnshire base to take part in many major bombing raids including those on Berlin and Hitler's alpine home at Berchtesgaden.

DAWN OF LIBERATION - 6 June 1944
Thoroughly researched to ensure historical accuracy, this superbly detailed drawing has been completed in Richard's trademark technique combining a mixture of graphite with colour highlights on antique buff paper - a subtle 'Green on!' glow can even be seen emanating from the windows of the C-47 having despatched its stick of 'Screaming Eagles'.
|
DAWN STRIKE
As the first rays of daylight spread their golden glow over the vast expanse of sky above the Russian Front, the menacing roar of heavily armed Bf 110's of 6./ZGI shake the cold air around them as they prepare for a dawn strike against enemy ground targets deep inside Russian territory. Above them, their Me 109 escorts, alert for danger, constantly scan the distant skies for any enemy intruders that may be on the prowl and waiting for them.
