All
Alone Again
by
Philip
West
The
Avro Lancaster was undoubtedly the RAF's greatest bomber of
World War Two. Stemming from the unsuccessful Avro Manchester
the Avro Lancaster carried the night bomber offensive deep
into occupied Europe and in doing so, a free world legend
was born. Over 7,300 were built with the last being delivered
in 1946.

Jaguar
Patrol
by
Philip
West
Originally
built as a joint effort between Great Britain and France,
the Sepecat Jaguar has over the years of service, more than
lived up to it's powerful feline name, providing the RAF with
a supersonic ground attack and reconnaissance platform. During
combat and support missions the 'Big Cat' has proven to be
a very reliable and potent asset.

The
Memphis Belle
by
Philip
West
Over
three years of continuous air combat the 91st Bombardment
Group "The Ragged Irregulars" were based at Bassingbourn
in England. They flew 340 missions with honour and bravery,
over occupied Europe and bore such B-17 Flying Fortress legends
as "Memphis Belle", "Shoo Shoo Baby",
"General Ike" and "Nine 'O' Nine. On this day,
however, the Memphis Belle is going to have to wait for the
snow to be clear before it can depart on yet another dangerous
mission over enemy territory. In the meantime, to enable the
“Memphis Belle” to leave at the earliest opportunity
when the weather clears, groundcrews carry on with their maintenance
work in support of a crew and aircraft they all look upon
with affection and admiration.

"Nine
O Nine" - No Turning Back
by
Philip
West
An
outstanding new painting by highly acclaimed and collected
artist Philip West. By any standards a fabulously evocative
painting, of one of the most remarkable aircraft to have flown
during World War Two. Check out the detail on the nose of
the aircraft, the ground crew braving freezing cold weather
to get their favourite aircraft ready for when the crew arrive,
look at the trees and ground - that's how it was in those
days! The sun rising, though, gives you a sense of warmth
as well as reassurance this mighty bomber will once again
be able to take to the skies that day and in so doing, contribute
to our very own freedom now.
"Nine
O Nine" awaits her next mission over occupied Europe.
Part of the 91st Bomb Group, 323rd Squadron, this B-17 Flying
Fortress went on to complete a record mission tally of 140
without an abort or loss of a single crew member. She started
operations in February 1944. By April 1945 "Nine O Nine"
had flown an extraordinary 1,129 hours. This aircraft and
crew represented just one of many who fought in war-torn skies
for the freedom we now enjoy".
Imagine
owning the Original Painting. Apart from the
artistic quality, the history of this aircraft and crew is
second to none.

Operation
Chastise - The Dambusters
by
Philip

During
the night of May 16/17, 1943, 19 Avro Lancaster's of the newly
formed 617 Squadron carried out daring raids against four
dams in the Ruhr. The Primary target was the Mohne dam. Here
we see Flt Lt Maltby and crew in AJ-J flying clear of the
Mohne before their Upkeep mine exploded against and breached
the dam. Operation Chastise became a legend in the annals
of the RAF and military history.

Ready
for Action
by
Philip
West
The
de Havilland Mosquito was one of the most outstanding British
built aircraft of the Second World War. It was first proposed
as a fast, unarmed bomber. However, once in service it proved
to be extremely versatile and was produced in great numbers
in various variants, fighter, bomber, photo reconnaissance
and many more. The "Wooden Wonder" became a true
thoroughbred.
The
painting is signed on the back of the canvas in permanent
ink by these distinguished pilots: Wing Commander Branse Burbridge
DSO and Bar, DFC and Bar, the RAF’s top night-fighter
pilot. Also, ‘Hilly’ Hilliard, former Mosquito
pilot with the Banff and Pathfinder squadrons.

Tornado
Strike
by
Philip
West
Today's
RAF Tornado's and the aircrew that fly them offer a world-class
interdiction/ground attack and reconnaissance package that
is second to none. The Tornado GR4 is capable of supersonic
speeds and flight at low-level, making it one of the most
potent attack aircraft in the world today. New systems and
weapon's upgrades will ensure that the Tornado remains a versatile,
effective and vital platform for many years to come.

Guardians
of the Reich
by
Philip
West
The
Messerschmitt Me 262. With a sleek shark-like fuselage, revolutionary
swept back wings and Jumo turbine engines, it must have been
a sight to see one autumn day in 1944 when seen for the first
time. The Messerschmitt Me 262 represented the Luftwaffe’s
most potent air weapon during World War Two; however, not
enough were produced in time to make a decisive difference
to the outcome.
“Guardians
of the Reich” is signed on the back of the painting
by General Gunther Rall who flew Me109s throughout the Battle
of Britain. He finished the war with 275 victories, making
him the third highest scoring pilot in history.
Also
signed by Major Hans-Ekkeehard Bob who also flew Me109s in
the Battle of Britain as well as the Polish and French campaigns.
He also flew Fw 190s and Me262s in over 700 combat missions
during which he achieved 59 victories.
Feldwebel
Adolf Denz has also signed the painting. He flew Me 110s,
Me 210s and later Me109s on the Russian front.

On
the Prowl
by
Philip
West
The
Focke-Wulf FW 190. When this purposeful looking, squat, angular
aircraft first appeared in the skies over France in 1941 it
came as quite a shock and soon gained a reputation and the
nickname ‘Butcher Bird’. A superb fighting machine,
it served the Luftwaffe in many variants throughout the Second
World War.
