The first Four-Engined British Bomber used in the Second World War – designed by the Short Brothers
-
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. PHOENIX APPEAL donation, Greeting Card only available.

Original painting presented by the RAFBEA, to CO of RAF Cosford on the 50th anniversary,(1997) of the the return of Boy Entrants to the RAF. The aircraft depicted were all front line aircraft during the time of our training. Pre War boys made up a lot of the aircrews in the early years of the war. Boys were air gunners, wireless operators while the Aircraft Apprentices were the pilots and navigators. / Acrylic on canvas board. 2×3ft / Prints still available

Reworked commission. See Safe Return ‘42. below “This is a commission depicting the Safe Return of an unknown spitfire during the early summer of 1942. The commissioner requested “Moles” somewhere in the painting as he is a mole-catcher by profession. I’ve done a few alterations since last seen on RB (thanks to Bob Martin for crit) and I’ve given it a matt varnish finish which brings out the colours. / Acrylic on canvas board. 24”x 18”

Four of the Red Arrows zooming into the great blue yonder above a white fluffy cloud, with red white and blue smoke contrails trailing behind. I only noticed this display happening late one Friday evening; taken from Perth, August 2007.

The Blackburn Buccaneer was a British attack aircraft serving with the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. It was widely regarded as one of the finest low-level strike aircraft of its day. / Digital artwork.

I love it when the world offers up a great collection of elements in one space, and all you have to do is go ‘click’… RAF Museum Collindale, UK

inside the Officer’s Mess at RAF Binbrook… Soft lighting courtesy of one our legendary rainy days,- seemed to suit this more than stark sunlight might have done. This vast decaying labyrinth reminded me somewhat of the Tarkovsky film ‘Stalker’, although I didn’t find the room where one’s innermost desires are granted…

Best for light shirts. / —- / See the detail in full-view, as it looks great.

The sun goes down on the only remaining English Electric Lightning at the former RAF station at Binbrook, Lincolnshire, UK. Binbrook’s Lightnings provided quick reaction cover for UK airspace during the Cold War, and the Squadrons based there were the last to operate the type. Lightnings were retired from RAF service at the end of the 1980s. RAF Binbrook closed down upon their retirement. A proportion of the sales of this image will go to the Dave Cole Memorial Fund.

The Iconic Bristol Beaufigher sitting on the the tarmac. The fighter was used throughout world war 2 and apparently packed a real punch If you love Aircraft then check out these other designs below Please visit the new bubble site SIEGEWORKS / This best way to view all siegeworks designs in one place!

This design is based on the Paul Defiant fighter plane. Its a unique aircraft as it has a heavy calibre gun turret sitting in the middle. When these planes first came into service during WW2, enemy fighters would attack from the rear not realising the plane was quite capable of shooting then straight in the face. Now this design is available in a range of cool bags. Just click on the image below / If you love Aircraft then check out these other designs below Please visit the new bubble site SIEGEWORKS / This best way to view all siegeworks designs in one place! Below are just a few examples of whats on offer.

“Well I think it’s gonna be one of those nights, R.Whites…” This [enormous, rather heavy looking] fridge is practically the only thing not looted from the kitchens of the Sergeant’s Mess, I wonder why..?!! For this shot I propped up the Nightsearcher inside to get raking shadows through the shelves.
-
The lighting & general arrangement in this corridor had an almost ‘old master’ feel to it… Whilst not the most exciting part of the Sergeant’s Mess, this has never the less ended up being my favourite shot from that outing.
-
The work horse of the RAF, more common that the spritfile although not as glamerous! It was made largely from more perishable materials like wood and canvas which made it cheaper and faster to repair than the spitfire. If you love Aircraft then check out these other designs below Make sure you also check out my Bubble Site or my profile for more great designs, examples of which you can see below.

/ Fun with P.S. / This is the most modern aircraft in the RAF and can fly at more than twice the speed of sound. The UK, Germany and Italy worked together to develop the many advanced features of this state-of-the-art machine. The Eurofighter Typhoon is a key part of the Royal Air Force’s equipment in the 21st century. It is a ‘swing role’ aircraft in that it can operate as fighter and, in due course as the design evolves, as a bomber and a ground attack aircraft. The Eurofighter also builds on a long history of British multi-role fighters and other European collaborative projects.

A restored Vulcan Bomber being ‘escorted’ into the Dawlish Air Show, 20/08/09, by the Red Arrows Display Team. / This was the first time in 17 years that these aircraft have been seen together at a show. For those interested in the Vulcan, I will upload one of the craft on its own, and I will be adding a journal with a few more of the pictures on. / I will not bore you with lots of pics of the same craft. / Also, I probably will not be uploading any Red Arrows shots as there are enough already on RB. I used my Sigma 70-300 Lens for this capture. Hope you like it. / Thank you for looking. Best Viewed Large.

This is a shot of the Lancaster Bomber as it approaches Eastbourne Airshow. / I took this from Beachy Head so I am looking down on the aircraft with the sea below it which gives it a very different perspective.

Hawker Hurricane taken on it’s way out of Eastbourne Airshow. / Once again another top side view with a very nice looking colour sea underneath.
