With more time on my hands due to the current lockdown, I've completed another drawing. This time it's Spitfire P7309 of 603 Squadron and is framed and mounted with an original section of copper pipe from the aircraft flown by PO Peter Olver https://t.co/g0wqrKLXBH #Spitfire#raf
Just nine years after the end of WW2, #OnThisDay the prototype Lockheed C-130 Hercules made its maiden flight. Continuing to fly across the world today, it is arguably one of the most successful military transport aircraft ever produced #C130#hercules https://t.co/g0wqrKLXBH

Although still very much WIP, it felt appropriate to share my latest painting "605 Squadron Scramble" on this day, to acknowledge the role the squadron played in the Battle of Britain some 80 years ago. Oil on stretched canvas 100x50cm #TheFew#battleofbritain80#LestWeForget
Discovered that this 1942 War edition Air Ministry map that I acquired once belonged to WW2 Mossie navigator Fred Verity DFM of 515 Squadron. Only one possible aircraft that I could add to it...... Further details at https://t.co/g0wqrKLXBH #dhmosquito#mossie#dh98#515squadron

@pettore@SocietySpitfire I was very fortunate to have corresponded with him in the 90's when he kindly told me all about the loss of his Hurricane on 15th September 1940 and have been painting and drawing his aircraft ever since in tribute. Even my profile picture features his Hurricane!
Another recently completed pencil drawing, this time the Hurricane UP-L of 605 Squadron, almost 80 years ago. The pilot, Robert Eric Jones baled out and went on to survive the war. Further details at https://t.co/PsbVk0u6SM #605squadron#hurri#battleofbritain80
Remembering the bravery and sacrifices made on this day in 1944 when allied troops invaded Normandy. It was the largest air, land, and sea invasion in history and the beginning of the end of World War II #DDay76#DDay#DDaystripes#Normandy
