Mosquito - The Wooden Wonder
Five stunning pieces paying tribute to this spectacular aircraft
At a time when metal was in extremely short supply, the unique Mosquito, built mainly of wood, became possibly the most versatile aircraft of WWII. No other Allied military aircraft was built in so many versions for so many roles – some 43 different variants produced during a long and distinguished career.
BROKEN SILENCE
Framed Limited Edition by Robert Taylor
The sudden thunder of Merlin engines shatters the evening silence as two pairs of Mosquitos head out over the Norfolk Broads on a low-level precision strike against enemy targets in Holland.
Robert’s immortal piece, originally released in 1988, has become increasingly sought after and we are proud to be able to offer ONE copy only. Find out more information and who signed it HERE!

OPERATION JERICHO - THE JAILBREAKERS
Framed Limited Edition by Gerald Coulson
On 18th February 1944 one of the most daring low-level bombing operations of the war was carried out; codenamed ‘Operation Jericho’. Escorted by Typhoons, 19 Mosquitos were tasked with breaching the walls of the Gestapo-held prison in Amiens where hundreds of soldiers of the French Resistance were being held.
Gerald’s memorable piece portrays the moment the first of the delay-action bombs begin to explode as the Mosquitos flee over the flat snowscape. Within seconds the walls will be breached.

Approaching the prison at a height of just 10 feet, P.O. Maxwell Sparks and his Navigator P.O. Arthur Dunlop drop their bombs before climbing to narrowly avoid the prison rooftop below.
With a more direct angle, Philip West's piece showcases how low the aircraft were whilst bombing the Amiens prison, drawing more attention to the carnage caused by the bombs. Find out more about this print HERE!

NIGHT INTRUDER
