Another museum that we visited a couple of weekends ago was the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum. What a gem! Free to get in, just a donation requested. Packed to the gills with aircraft and aviation items as well as a few vehicles. Well worth the visit.

In The Zone

November 15, 2018Posted in AviationTagged composite

Well, after a several weeks of playing and tweaking until I am happy with it, here is my latest piece of artwork. Hope you enjoy it.
I call this piece, ‘In The Zone’. It is based on the statement I heard once. It was “A display pilot should always remove all distractions from his mind before performing his display.”

A VERY wet day at Duxford yesterday. Such a shame as there was a lot going on. After 3 hours in the rain, we gave up and came home, but the airshow continued for another 2 and a half hours! Well done to everyone who stayed on and the pilots for flying in the rain! As you can see from the photos, very grey skies.
