Quality has always been of supreme importance to me from artwork through printing/ paper thickness and quality to framing and efficient despatch. I try to ensure my major aviation prints are veteran pilot /navigator signed, which massively increases the collectability of the item. I attend most of the large airshows around the country, painting on site, chatting at length and answering questions. |

Bombing Up Yorker by Robin Smith. This print depicts a Lancaster Mk.III powered by four Merlin engines. Assigned to 44 (Rhodesia) squadron on 5th February 1944 to Dunholme Lodge, KM (Yorker) ND 578 was flown by P.O. John Chatterton on its first fifteen operations after which he received the D.F.C. In fact the whole crew received the D.F.C after their tour, this being very unusual during the war, a gesture reflecting the heroism of the equally brave crew. Y-Yorker completed its 100th sortie in February 1945 with F.O. Hayler as skipper, surviving to complete its 123rd operation by 17/18th April with Harold Parkin in the driving seat, by this time stationed at Spilsby. The significance of the spade nose art reflects to the fact that John Chatterton was a farmer, a career that continued after the war, and became his logo. Unfortunately, his commander didn't approve of it, and it only lasted one week before it had to come off! |
At the Going Down of the Sun by Robin Smith. Depicting the famous Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, comprising the Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane. |
Tiger Moth by Robin Smith. The little Moth represents everything a true light aircraft should have. Conventional / traditional construction of tubular steel with lots of lovely timber and doped fabric. Bolted on the front end is a wonderful oily, crackly Gypsy Major engine culminating in an aeroplane to die for! |
