SAFE RETURN
In recognition of the Wellington's place in aviation history artist Anthony Saunders has chosen to depict an aircraft from 99 Squadron, the first squadron to be equipped with the type, as the subject of his detailed painting aptly named Safe Return. It portrays a scene that occurred at dawn on 29 February 1940 when one of the squadron's bombers with Pilot Officer Reginald Williams at the controls lost power to its port engine whilst heading out over the North Sea. Aborting his mission and low on power, Williams struggles to gain height in order to clear approaching cliffs. Thankfully he succeeded, managing to coax his damaged bomber back to base.

CHANNEL SWEEP
Robert Taylor's stunning painting Channel Sweep depicts a scene in August 1941 with a section of Mk.Vb Spitfires from 452 Squadron, led by top Irish Ace Flight Lieutenant Brendan 'Paddy' Finucane DFC, as they head out over the Kent coast on an offensive patrol across the English Channel. With all the hallmarks of a classic Taylor masterpiece, this stunning edition also carries the original signature of one of the RAF's most successful and high-scoring Aces, who flew Spitfires with the Biggin Hill Wing during this period.

THE EAGLES RETURN
In his memorable piece The Eagles Return, Richard Taylor uses spell-binding artistry to convey a heart-warming scene in tribute to those tough, determined and supremely brave aviators. It seems fitting that he's chosen to depict Ace pilot 'Bud' Anderson in his P-51 'Old Crow' in company with colleagues from the 363rd Fighter Squadron as they head back to Leiston after a gruelling escort mission over occupied Europe for the 357th Fighter Group - one of the most successful fighter units in the Eighth Air Force.

HEADING OFF OMAHA
Keith's ability to capture the power and drama of a scene never fails to win the imagination and this dramatic piece is no exception. The artist's award-winning talent takes us to the sandy bluffs overlooking Omaha Beach shortly after D-Day. The foreshore that only days before had witnessed chaos and bloody carnage, is now abuzz with action as American armored forces disembark from their beached Tank Landing Ships and head inland to support colleagues heavily engaged in bitter fighting to dislodge German units in northern Normandy.

Winning the award is a monumental task, but in 2016 that is exactly what Keith did with this masterpiece, CO-OPERATION.
