Stirling painting
I have seen an oil painting of a Stirling of 190 Squadron, returning in daylight from a supply drop after D-day, with a FW 190 hot on his tail. The painting might have been hanging in the RAF Club, but I'm not certain of that as I was a bit 'tired and emotional' the last time I stayed there!
I now know that the pilot was one Flying Officer Larry Siegart RNZAF, to whom I was speaking just this morning, and he tells me that there was not one FW190, but two, and his rear gunner had shot the other one down. "We had a hole or two here and there", he says, 'but we got home alright in the end". Larry Siegert later flew with 24 Sqn, and in the Berlin Airlift, and for a while was seconded to BOAC, whilst still a Flt Lt, flying Dakotas before he came home He later became CAS RNZAF.
Anyone know where that painting is, and if there are prints available?
