Work in Progress.  John H Jones by Ivan Berryman.

Of similar configuration, but usually outclassed by its British contemporary, the Bristol F2b, the Luft-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft LVG was essentially a strong and stable observation aircraft that served widely during World War 1. On 21st May 1917, this example became the victim of the guns of Sergeant John H Jones, contributing to his eventual tally of 15 victories. Here, his pilot that day, Captain W G Mostyn, has already had a squirt using his forward-firing Vickers gun before manoeuvring their 22 Sqn machine into position for Jones to finish the job with his twin Lewis guns.

 

The LVG with some vital components yet to be painted - the landing gear and engine are outlined in pencil on the canvas.

A view of the whole painting at this stage, with the completion of the LVG still to be done.

Ivan photographed with the painting at this stage.
