Aviation Artist?

There was a guy floating around these forums who did a number of artworks for people of aeroplanes they used to fly etc. I'm thinking of getting the same but can't find the blokes thread for the life of me! Can anyone remember who the guy is?

If you want military aircraft, Conway Bown is your man, official War Memorial artist, google him on IPAS.

John Stewart-Jones does a real fine drawing of aeroplanes. One of the finest draughtsmen with whom it has been my pleasure to work.

He does do nice work, I have a few of his creations. Found out he has a backlog of commissions that will see him out in the afterlife...lolol
He recommended Steve Leadenham (search Facebook), another fine transport painting artist:-)
