Artwork and line drawings

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.

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

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.

He started with ships but.......

.....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. which I believe was/is in the Portsmouth area.

The Ancient Mariner

PS I've just found the packaging and it's:
175-177 Stoke Road
Gosport
