RENDEZVOUS WITH DESTINY
Richard's dramatic edition recalls the heroism of these paratroopers. The night will be long and dangerous but their forthcoming resilience in the face of adversity will become the stuff of legend.
Completed in his trademark technique of using a mixture of graphite with subtle colour highlights, Richard's superb piece helps commemorate the 75th Anniversary of D-Day and serves as a lasting tribute to all those who fought throughout the liberation of Europe.

RETURN FROM THE FRAY
Richard Taylor's stunning piece graphically conveys the conflicting realities of those deadly aerial encounters over southern England during 1940. As the sound of Merlin engines briefly interrupts the tranquillity of a sleepy English village, its residents are determined to carry on with everyday life. In the skies overhead the bitter battle will shortly be reaching its crescendo but, for today at least, the fighting is over as Flight Sergeant George 'Grumpy' Unwin, one of the Battle of Britain's top Aces, and the Spitfire pilots of 19 Squadron return from yet another encounter with Goering's much-vaunted Luftwaffe.

RETURN TO EAST KIRKBY
The air resonates to the unmistakable sound of Merlin engines as Lancasters from 630 and 57 Squadrons skim low over the Lincolnshire countryside whilst returning to their base at East Kirkby, in the summer of 1944.
RAF East Kirkby was home to Lancasters of 630 and 57 Squadrons who often flew together on long-range bombing raids including attacks against Berlin and Hitler's alpine home at Berchtesgaden. It is of great historical importance that every print has been personally signed by one of the last surviving veterans based at RAF East Kirkby during WWII.

ROLLING THUNDER
Sherman tanks, having fought their way inland, rumble through the battered streets of a small Normandy town, recently liberated by the US Airborne forces.

ROVER PATROL
Richard Taylor's new painting presents a fine study of a lone Mosquito FB MkVI of 143 Squadron, part of a larger formation of the Banff Strike Wing, high over the Norwegian fjords on an armed rover patrol to seek out enemy surface shipping and submarines, in February 1945.
