Lancaster on fire
I was going to post the story behind a painting I had admired in an exhibition at Shaftesbury some 15 years ago,but the artist Ron Homes, the pilot of the Lancaster, tells it so eloquently himself.
Google Ronald Homes artist and read it for yourselves. Click on 'A night to remember'.
I've met Ron a few times at exhibitions, particularly as my wife has exhibited with him, and he is a typical man of that generation,quiet and unassuming. I first saw the painting before he had a website and had to drag the story out of him.
Amazing that after WW2 he went back to art school. He kept in touch with all of his crew for the rest of their lives, I believe the first member to pass away was about the time we met Ron in the late 90s.
