    Ooooo, I love this rendition, Woodie. I have a photo of a Lancastor in my files that I’ll up-load in a day or two. It’s out of Canada, and it flew at the EAA air show in 2006.

  • Woodie replied

    Thanks John, I’m looking forward to your photo of Canada’s Lancaster.
    Is that a Mk.X with a Martin upper turret similar to a B-24?
    Cheers Neil

    Hi Phil,
    Thanks for the compliment but this is a PAINTING in acrylics.!!!!
    Cheers Neil

  • Phil Woodman

    Phil Woodman

    Neil, I assumed it was painted from an actual photograph.

  • Woodie replied

    Hi Phil
    I had to use an old b/w photo for reference for the lancaster but the rest is all mine, the composition, type of sky, tones and colours used.
    No it’s not a painting of a photograph!!
    Regards Neil

  • Phil Woodman

    Neil, no problem.

    Beautiful Painting. What a wonderful day to save this to my favorites ON MEMORIAL DAY. Great Job

  • Woodie replied

    Thank you for favouring this and adding me to your watch list.
    This could easily of been a B17 of the USAF but it would of been flying into the sun. (They flew by day, the RAF at night)
    Cheers Neil
