Michael Rondot. F8 & NF14 Meteors of 72 Squadron Royal Air Force are

Meteors Over Castle Howard by Michael Rondot. The
'Meatbox', as it affectionately became known, formed the backbone
of RAF Fighter Command during the heyday of the 1950s, equipping regular
and auxiliary RAF squadrons in the day-fighter, reconnaissance and
night-fighter roles. The Meteor F8 day-fighter and NF14 night-fighters
featured in Michael Rondot's painting represent the ultimate versions of
this classic jet fighter which served on front-line squadrons until the
late 1950s. Meteors of number 72 Squadron are seen in formation over the
magnificent Yorkshire panorama of Castle Howard country house, the setting
for Brideshead Revisited. In the background overlooking the vale of
Pickering to the North Yorkshire Moors, dark storm clouds form a striking
backdrop to this wonderful aviation painting.
Prints also signed by Wing Commander Ian Hawkins and Air Marshal Sir
John Nicholls KCB CBE DFC AFC.
