"The Briefing"

Years ago I spent a few days in the Officers Mess at RAF Scampton and in one of the ante rooms there was a painting entitled "The Briefing" which detailed a Second World War Bomber Command briefing by Dermot Boyle with a quotation by Stephen Spender, one line of which went something like "And signed the air with their honour"
I remember being truly moved by this painting particularly as it was housed in one of the RAF most illustrious and historic Bomber Command stations.
My question is does anyone know where this painting now resides as I would like to revisit it and perhaps take a photograph of it as a souvenir of my visit to RAF Scampton.
