Lancaster flies East at sunset “from an airfield, somewhere in England”, as they used to say during the war.

As the dawn breaks and the bombers leave the protective darkness of the night, “Crossing the Coast” is one of the most welcome intercom messages that returning bomber crews can hear after hours flying over enemy territory. / “Crossing the Coast” was inspired by a previous commission I’d painted called “Skipper, we are on fire!” These most feared words were quoted to me by John ‘Jock’ Morrison. / An ex-Sergeant wireless operator, he now lives in County Durham and returned to Norway in 2000, to collect his flying helmet from the grandchildren of the family who had looked after him and his fellow crewmen, when they crashed their Halifax bomber in Norway after depth charging the Tirpitz in April 1942. You may have read about his Norwegian visit in the newspapers. / “Crossing the Coast Skipper” has been used to illustrate the front cover of Tony Eaton’s book “Two Friends, Two Different Hells.” The story of two school-friend’s different wars. / Acrylic on canvas board 18×24 inches approx.

Took this the other night, the sunset that is outside my house and the planes (lancasters) came from Cosford airshow, just mucking about here so I don’t expect much, though I like it, hope some of you do too… / /

Another Lancaster of 101 Squadron. This squadron flew on most bombing raids as they provided the jamming of the radio transmissions of the Luftwaffe Fighter Control. They carried an 8th crew member, a German speaking special operator, who transmitted engine noise on the controller’s frequency. Jamming equipment called ABC, (Air Borne Cigar).

After many years, we decided to take a trip back to my birthplace of Pennsylvania. We stayed for several days in the Amish town of, “Bird-in-Hand” – Lancaster County never expecting to see quite so many buggies as we did, it was awesome! It was fascinating, watching them hard at work and going about their daily activities of gardening and farming. Getting photos of the Amish is not the easiest thing to do, particularly when they don’t want their picture taken. The desire to get that “once in a lifetime” shot and at the same time trying not to be disrespectful is difficult…

Just as a brief change from Arran, here is a boat in the mud! / I had a stroll on the mudbanks near Conder Green (which is near Lancaster, UK) the other day. Plenty of interest especially for the photographer and this one caught my eye. / Thanks for looking. / Richard

Fred the tail gunner, for whom I painted this, ask me to “Copy” Gerald Coulson painting of 617 Sqdn bombing the German battleship Tirpitz in a Norwegian Fjord but correct/alter to show him in the 3rd lancaster, WS-X, and on a different day. / On that day, just as they arrived over target the cloud rolled over the Tirpitz and they had to aim on the gun flashes that they could see through the cloud. / Fred had already done this raid from Russia earlier. / See my other painting of Fred and wife standing by a lanc’s rear turret.

A college project to do the artwork for a make-believe film. I choose “Dambusters 2” featuring Wing Commander Lenard Cheshire. This is the nose-art for his P51 Mustang, and the figure was based on the controversial 2000 Opium advert of Sophie Dahl. I put some pants on her and turned her upright. I gave the film the “Pearl Harbor” treatment i.e. don’t let the facts get in to way of a good story! / This is painted on 2 metal panels bolted together. (Lids from twin tub washing machine). The rivets are painted on. / Stop Press / Stephen Fry has written a screenplay for a new $100million Dambuster movie starring Jame McAvoy as Guy Gibson.
