The Tirpitz
On 12th November 1944, RAF Lancasters of 617 & 9 Sqns set out to sink the mighty German battleship Tirpitz and in the icy waters of Tromsø fjord, Norway, her fate was finally sealed.
Here is a selection of pieces depicting this famous raid and the formidable battleship itself - remarkably each is signed by WW2 veterans:
THE SINKING OF THE TIRPITZ
Limited Edition by Frank Wootton
Armed with deadly five ton 'Tallboy' bombs, Lancasters of 9 Sqn. and 617 Sqn. make their final attack on the German battleship Tirpitz in Tromsø fjord, Norway.
We rarely have Frank Wooton's work in stock, as it is difficult to retrieve from the Secondary Market, this piece is no different.
The piece has been embellished by the signatures of FIVE veterans who took part in the attack on the Tirpitz... find out who signed it HERE!
