Four memorable pieces
2021 saw the release of a new commemorative print by Richard Taylor titled Long Night Ahead - it's the latest in a series of moving pieces helping to remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice...
The heroic deeds of the men and women who fought for our country have not only formed the foundation of our business, but have helped to shape the free world in which we live today – they are very special people indeed. Here are four pieces by artist Richard Taylor that pay tribute to those who were brave:
LONG NIGHT AHEAD
Having left their base at Great Massingham, de Havilland Mosquitos from 169 Squadron fly low over Ely Cathedral as they head south in preparation for a night intruder mission during the summer of 1944.
As a lasting tribute, this special new release has been autographed for posterity by a highly regarded Mosquito Navigator who flew critical missions throughout WWII. Find out more HERE!

FOR FREEDOM
After another perilous night-time mission over northern France, Lancasters of 106 Sqn – whose motto was ‘For Freedom’ – return to their Lincolnshire airfield, summer 1944. As the morning mist clears, an expanse of brightly coloured poppies joyfully heralds the return of the exhausted crews.
Richard's incredibly popular piece has been personally hand signed and authenticated by three WWII RAF Bomber Command veterans. Find out more HERE!

FIELDS OF GLORY
Spitfires from 92 Sqn return to their new base at Biggin Hill in early September 1940. As if in tribute to fallen comrades, a bright swathe of flowering corn poppies greet their thunderous arrival.
Now only a few copies remain of this stunning print which was personally signed on release by three WWII veterans who served during the Battle of Britain. Find out more HERE!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
