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.

This Hull fishing trawler was blown up in a harbour in Norway, during WW2, to prevent the guns etc it was carrying for the resistance, falling into German hands. / Painted for the son of the coxswain, who didn’t return from the war. Acrylic on canvas board 18×24” approx. 1991

Taken in 2004 on the ferry dock at Caan on June 6th as the battle of Britain flight flew overhead , a very poignant moment . Only people with ferry tickets and passes were allowed into Caan after 10:00am so it was very quiet , and when we arrived for the ferry there was nothing going on , no one rushing about , the whole place was at peace .

I have converted this image to black and white and darkened it a little in order to create the atmosphere of the period which would have been about 1943. Most of the Lancaster’s raids were carried out at night, and this shot depicts flying under moonlight. This was unwelcomed by the bomber crews as it made them highly visible to enemy night fighters.

One of the first street shots I ever took back in 1964 in the East End of London. This was before Playstations, and probably the only ‘toy’ these kids shared between them was a skipping rope. Old bomb sites still held a fascination though as a form of amusement and exploration, as can be seen here. It was taken using a Yashica Mat 120 film twin lens reflex camera that took me six months to save up for. I used Tri-X B/W film and printed on a hard grade of paper to get the punchy contrast, a characteristic of all my early B/W work. This image was photographed digitally from the original print in my portfolio. © 1964 John Hooton Photography

American P51 Mustang at the 2008 Biggin Hill Air Show. This actual aircraft originally belonged to the 332nd fighter group and bears several battle scars by way of repaired bullet holes in the fuselage. This group became famous as the first all Afro American fighter group – the Tuskegee Airmen, Tuskegee being the town where they trained in Macon County, Alabama. One of their main roles was escorting and protecting B-17 bombers, the ‘flying fortresses’. The present owner, Jacques Bourret, adopted this new colour scheme after discovering a photo of a P51 aircraft in this ‘Jumpin Jacques’ livery. Technical Details: Camera: Nikon D3 / Lens: Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 / Focal Length: 400mm / ISO: 200 / Exposure: 1/500 sec at f/11 / Post Processing: Photoshop CS3 Background: Nikon Coolpix P5100 © 2008 John Hooton Photography

Capt. John Davis and Bombardier Lt. Carl Thompson are walking passed their bird to meet the rest of the boys for a few beers. Both can faintly hear music and laughter of men spilling from a tent near the end of the runway. Davis looks back into the setting sun, listens to the big radial engines still ticking from an earlier test flight. The distinct smell of burnt oil still lingers in the air. / “God I love that smell” he thinks to himself. / He gazes down upon the puddles of oil underneath the port and starboard engines. / “Hey, does it look like engine one is leaking more than usual?” John asks, turning to Carl who had his half smoked cigarette in the corner of his mouth. / “It’s been leaking more since Frankfurt”, Carl replies. / “Frankfurt? Yeah, I think you’re right”. Davis can still hear the screams of the waistgunner, when the shrapnel tore through the entire port side. / “Poor Sammy, he never had a chance”, Davis says. / Carl didn’t reply, just walked quietly next to John, the setting sun throwing long shadows onto the tarmac, making them both look like giants. / Both men knew that tonight they indeed feel larger than life, because there is no mission tonight.

These old trucks are a favorite of mine. Big and ugly but somehow cool. / They worked their hearts out during World War Two and beyond during the post war years. Now they mostly rest and wait under trees and along fence lines. / Until the day they are reborn and restored.

“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.

Had a recent request for a slightly modified version of this tee. / So here it is. Controversial in our constrained times.

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.
