Fantastic painting, I don't think people realise what work Coastal Command did trying to protect our ships. As you will know it was the poor relation when it came to equipment.

Sorry to go off course, the colourer if great, everything about it is good

A5 acrylic on board. Will appear with numerous other paintings at the Guild of Aviation Artists Exhibition at the Mall in July.
