  • This image takes it`s inspiration from the 1969 film The Battle of Britian, and composed in 16 – 9 widescreen. A 12 layer work with Photoshop It is 1940, and the diabolical mind of Adolf Hitler is planning to bomb England into submission to his warped dreams of a ‘Fortress Europe’. Standing between Britain’s freedom & Hitler’s terrifying plans is the R.A.F – dedicated pilots who took to the skies again & again in the face of overwhelming odds. The German Luftwaffe’s planes outnumber the R.A.F’s by more than 2 to 1 – 650 planes of the R.A.F. vs. 2,500 of the Luftwaffe! These odds. however, do not deplete the determination of the R.A.F. to stop Hitler, and as the Luftwaffe launches wave after wave of Heinkel 111 bombers against British cities, the R.A.F. responds, under the leadership of Air Vice Marshal Park (Howard) and Squadron Leaders Canfield (Caine) and Harvey (Plummer) who lead the newest pilots of the R.A.F. into confrontation after confrontation with the Luftwaffe’s experienced veterans, with the aim of driving Hitler’s forces away from Dover’s white cliffs for good.

  • Me 109 “Bouchon” at Shoreham Airshow 2009 The Spanish government in 1942 arranged a manufacturing licence with Messerschmitt AG to build the Bf 109G-2. The final variant was the HA-1112-M1L Buchon (literally, “big throat”), which is both a male dove or a pelican in Spanish. It first flew 29 March 1954. The 1112-M1L was equipped with the 1,600 hp Rolls-Royce Merlin 500-45 engine and Rotol propeller. This engine required the addition of a deep chin intake, whence the name Buchón. Its armament consisted of two 20 mm Hispano-Suiza 404/408 cannons and two Oerlikon or Pilatus eight-packs of 80 mm rockets. It remained in service until 27 December 1965. HA-1112-M1Ls remained in flying condition until the mid-1960s. This made them available for theatrical use, disguised as Bf 109Es and Gs in movies like “Battle of Britain”, “Memphis Belle”, and “The Tuskegee Airmen”. Remarkably, Buchons also played the Bf 109’s opposition, the Hawker Hurricane, in one scene in “Battle of Britain”. Yes I did spot that (Arrowman), as the were not enough flying Hurricanes for the scene !! Fuji Finepix 1000fs
