The Flip
‘The Flip’
A Mk 14 Spitfire, MV268, getting ready to flip a V1 flying bomb onto its back.
Towards the end of the dark days of World War Two, Germany launched the first of its vengeance weapons against Britain, the V1 flying Bomb. As well as Anti-Aircraft guns shooting them down, the RAF developed 2 methods of destroying the V1s. They either got very close and shot them down, often damaging their own aircraft, or some pilots used their wing to flip over the V1 causing it to plunge to the ground. Both methods were difficult as the Spitfire could only just match the speed of the V1.
Calm before the storm?
Another piece of aviation art. ‘Calm before the storm?’ some RAF personnel enjoying a quiet period on a sunny afternoon.
I don’t know why, but the more I learn, the longer the piece of art takes to do. This one has taken just over a week to get it right! 
Auster Spotter Aircraft
This aircraft was seen at this years East Kirkby Airshow, the Auster AOP6, TW536
I wanted to show it in it’s native enviroment. This is the final version (so far). I wanted to show the aircraft in action spotting for the British artillary who were firing aginst some German tanks in the second world war.
This was my first version without painting in the action elements. Good but does not show it in action.
