Hello,

About 15 years ago or so I bought a customised line-drawing of Concorde from the Collectors shop in the Sheraton Skyline hotel, LHR.

The helpful staff there had a contact who made these specially. I wanted a particular registration and colour scheme etc... It was done to a really high standard and made an excellent birthday present. I'm now looking for another one. Sadly the shop has gone out of business now and I don't have any contact with the gentleman who produced the lovely drawings.

So, does anyone know of any artists who produce these? I'm looking for a side-on profile, technically accurate drawing rather than a painting.

I've internet searched the name and signature at the bottom of the drawing I bought 15 years ago. Sadly no luck tracing him, or any of his work. Any help would appreciated.

Thanks. :8

Not sure if cutaways are of interest, but there is a fantastic thread on the Autosport Forum
The cutaway drawing and its artists - The Nostalgia Forum - The Autosport Forums (http://forums.autosport.com/topic/84751-the-cutaway-drawing-and-its-artists/page-1)

Be warned it is a huge thread full of jems and very addictive.

Being an Autosport forum it is targeted at cars, but plenty of aircraft drawings too.

.....in 2011 he produced a superb cutaway of a Nimrod returning from an overseas det.
I can't decipher his signature but it came from Welcome to Stoke Gallery (http://www.stokegallery.co.uk). which I believe was/is in the Portsmouth area.
