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”
Filling the sky with fear, the swift bird of prey lines up its kill
Here’s my own homage (in oils) to R.J.Mitchell’s great creation. An early Mark Spitfire on patrol over rolling English fields. The title is also an acknowledgment of one of my favourite boyhood authors. “Spitfire Parade” was one of Captain W.E. Johns Biggle’s novels. In fact, I’m still known to read him occasionally…..

During World War 2, the Germans launched V1 flying bombs from the coast of France, targeted at London. / The RAF worked out that if a fast fighter, usually a Spitfire or a P51 Mustang, could fly level with the V1, the V1 could be destroyed by placing the fighter`s wing tip beneath the wing of the rocket, and flipping it over, sending it out of control. A comment by Peter follows:— “Spitfires were not fast enough to catch them in level flight and we used to watch them (they were based at Kenley) dive down on these, get in close alongside and use their wings to tip the things over, thereby upsetting theit delicate gyro mechanism and causing them to crash. My most scary wartime memory was cycling home from school across a recreation ground and hearing a voice yelling “Get down”, “Get down” It was an air raid warden in a nearby post. He pointed up and my heart stopped becuas literally just a few feet above me was one of these flying bombs in a silent glide. I remember it was all silver and so sleek. I flung myself off my bike and on to the road (not much traffic in those days) and between my fingers I watched it following the contour of the hill as it glided down. Our house was down there and Mum was home on her own. Suddenly there was a mighty explosion and I was lifted up and dumped down again before jumping on my bike and hurtling down the hill as fast as I could. The bomb had crashed at the end of a long garden on the other side of the hill and our house was spared, although all the windows were blown out. Mum and the lady next door were outside crying their eyes out. Two years ago I was chatting with someone on here and it turned out that where the bomb crashed (Coulsdon) was his grandmother’s garden!! How about that???” Peter A Quote From Jell:- ” I actually saw this operation carried out over the SE of England many times when i was very young. Also waiting for the rocket motor to cut out. and then the bang. Lovely work”

It’s not often I can get a photo of a tufted titmouse; these little spitfires are so fast, they’re gone by the time I adjust the camera. This one was a bit more leisurely, though, and gave me a split second to nab him. Got you Mr. T squared! (I got the idea for the title from my daughter in law Chrissy who calls me Mrs. B Squared (Bonnie Barry); she’s an engineer and thinks mathematically; I’m an English major and numbers are not my strength).
Used Poser 6, Painter X, Photoshop CS. and PhotoScape. / I’m still undecied on this one, but I’m never happy with anything I do. I still might make some changes. Best viewed large A 3D digital image of a German Me 262 was the world’s first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. It was produced in World War II and saw action starting in 1944 as a multi-role fighter/bomber/reconnaissance/interceptor warplane for the Luftwaffe. The Me 262 had a negligible impact on the course of the war due to its late introduction, with 509 claimed Allied kills. and a English Spitfire Mk in a dogfight.

This is from a series I did at the Port Adelaide Aviation museum trying to capture the spirit of 1940’s pinup using my model Emma in an original 1940’s bathing suit and a reconstructed Spitfire plane belonging to Mr. Langdon Badger.
