Four exceptional paintings from the studios of two renowned aviation artists...
DAMBUSTER LEADER
Original Oil on Canvas by Simon Smith
With Guy Gibson in Lancaster AJ-G and Mick Martin in AJ-P both drawing the enemy’s fire, it’s the turn of David Maltby at the controls of AJ-J to press home the attack on the Möhne Dam. With his Upkeep mine skimming the surface of the lake, Maltby powers his Lancaster over the already-damaged dam, just seconds after releasing his bomb. The dam has but moments to live.
Simon’s dramatic piece serves as a lasting tribute to the brave aircrew who took part in perhaps the most daring air raids of the war. Find out more HERE!

SAFE RETURN
Original Oil Painting by Bill Perring
The tranquillity of the tiny waterside hamlet of Pin Mill is shattered by the roar of a mighty B-17 flying in low, heading back to base after a successful mission over occupied Europe.
Bill’s memorable piece depicts a familiar thunder of the mighty warbird – a welcome sight for the young inhabitants who are always happy to see the 'boys' come home.
