UNSCHEDULED ARRIVAL
.jpg)
September 1940, and Mk1 Spitfires from 19 Sqn have been ordered south to engage heavily escorted Luftwaffe bomber formations heading for the Thames Estuary and London. Following intense fighting the Spitfires’ ammunition is expended, and low on fuel the squadron makes a hurried landing at a forward airfield to replenish empty tanks and re-arm. Within minutes they will be airborne again. Together with the uninviting waters of the Channel, the RAF were the only thing stopping an invasion by Hitler’s all-conquering Panzers.

QUIET REFLECTION
Time is precious for the young off-duty fighter pilot and his girl as they pause to watch Spitfires from 92 Sqn pass low overhead. It is a brief moment of respite during the height of the Battle of Britain and tomorrow he’ll be back in combat.
It's no surprise that this memorable print has continued to prove popular since original release in 2015. At the time, it was personally hand-signed by two of the last surviving RAF pilots to take part in the battle:
- Sqn Ldr GEOFFREY WELLUM DFC
- Wg Cdr JOHN 'TIM' ELKINGTON

COLTISHALL SCRAMBLE
Mk.I Hurricanes of 242 Squadron, under the command of Squadron Leader Douglas Bader, scramble from Coltishall during the height of the Battle of Britain.
Acknowledging the vital role played by the pilots who flew the famous Hurricane during the summer of 1940, Richard's superb piece recreates a relative moment of calm as the brave young RAF pilots will soon be in action, intercepting Luftwaffe raiders heading to targets at Duxford and North Weald.
Adding great authenticity, this Limited Edition has been personally signed and authenticated by two veterans who flew Hurricanes in combat during the Battle of Britain
