Mighty F3 query..
 

I remember, in the distant past, there was a painting commissioned that depicted the F3 in it's natural environment, intercepting low level Soviet cruise missile bombers far, far out to sea in the worse of weather..

The painting was quite dramatic, but the details are, as they say, lost in the mists of time.

Does anybody have any information that they could share.

Edition information ?

Is that painting not an F6? Does glad rag mean a mighty F3 tonka?

Lightning F Mk 3 or Tornado F Mk 3?

Definitely not the Lightning F3........

Yes, the Fin. Apologies.

This one that used to hang in the crewroom of the 29(F) Sqn PBF 'soft'?

John Young Aircraft print 'Tornado F3's of No 29 Squadron/ Russian Bear - FRAMED

No Leon, this painting depicted a beam 9l attack against a high speed crossing target with the Fin turning hard at ULL under a dark dark sky over the sea. As I said, the aircraft exactly in the environment it was designed for.
A very emotive painting.

Your description rings a bell with me but unfortunately I cannot help with the detail.

I assume you have tried searching all the usual aviation artists websites (Wong, Golds, Turner, Rondot etc)?

You could try asking here.

Glad rag:
.....interesting word: 'designed'.

So, you mean someone designed it?
