Thanks very much indeed Resi, Houston and Gary.
Resi, they are all oils on canvas, with most being around 30 x 40 inches (75 x 100cm), and the smallest around 24 x 30 inches (60 x 75cm).
Karl (rochie) mentioned the print of the Shell House raid. The painting was produced in time for the 50th anniversary of 'Operation Carthage', the attack on Gestapo HQ in the Shell House in Copenhagen, 21/3/1945. A limited edition print run was produced, to help raise funds to cover the cost of a memorial to the aircrew lost on the raid, and these were signed, in Copenhagen on the day, by aircrew who participated, SOE operatives, and surviving Danish Resistance members who had escaped from the building. (the memorial is a Mosquito prop blade, cast in bronze, above the entrance to the current Shell House shop.)
I was fortunate to have access to many unpublished photos, and the actual film footage of the raid and, after nearly seven years of research and correspondance with my friend Derek Carter, in Denmark, was able to portray the raid accurately.
Here's a pic of the painting.

[Vic Balshaw]

Wow...........am I glad this thread has been resurrected. These are beautiful Terry, you're a very talented man and I love the Tornado even if it's a 12 Squadron beast.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Vic, it's nice to hear! The Tornado was going to be done as prints, signed by the display crew(s), but the bl**dy Sqaudron moved up to Lossie at the wrong time !!

[Airframes]

Thanks very much Aaron. Never did get my royalties for when it was used as a book cover by a very well-known author!

 

[T Bolt]

Beautiful Terry! I can understand how it took you so long to get all the detail correct.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Glenn. I missed something though. Apparently, there were three guys in white lab coats, standing on the top of the clock tower in the right foreground, having a crafty smoke! Bet they got a shock as the Mossie roared over!
