Rondot. Remarqued by Mike for me.

Father got me a copy of this print from the Science Museum I believe, just before the Ark was going to be decomissioned. The Phantom taking off was a cracker as well.

I had that same Buccaneer print on the wall when I was at Marham!!!

Not a Mossie in sight. There was a good picture of one on a PG Tips card.

Keith Ferris: "F-105s Strike The Paul Doumer Bridge 11 August 1967"
 

To represent the Yank side of things, I'd recommend Keith Ferris's iconic print of F-105s pulling off target: "F-105s Strike The Paul Doumer Bridge 11 August 1967":

My best print is on the wall, an Anthony Cowland ULLA drop from a C130K. This one is nearly as good.

First Spit out of Castle Bromwich. First of many out of CB. Not the first of the many.

Mike and Mikes framer has done well out of your investments. ;)

NLG,

No investment in the Jaguar print - 2nd prize in the Coltishall OM Xmas draw. Can’t remember if it was 1991 or 1992.

A couple of mine.

Particularly love the Britannia portrait... I do wish I could paint...

The power station in the background was an asset in testing, he related in some long forgotten magazine that even with a low cloudbase the smoke was visible from the chimneys and he could line up with them to safely let down through the cloud back onto the field.

Nutty, "Sigh for a Merlin". Hidden with my temporarily boxed-up books...
