LONG NIGHT AHEAD
To remember this extraordinary warplane and in tribute to the men who flew Mosquitos in World War II, Richard Taylor has created his moving painting, Long Night Ahead. Featuring Mosquito FB.VIs from 169 Squadron based at Great Massingham, Richard depicts them as they fly low over a poppy-strewn meadow in the lee of Ely Cathedral as they head towards a south coast airfield in preparation for a night-fighter intruder operation shortly after D-Day in the summer of 1944.

LOW HOLDING OVER THE SAN JACINTO GICLÉE CANVAS PROOF
Originally published as a Limited Edition print in 1988, Low Holding Over The San Jacinto remains one of Robert Taylor's most sought-after pieces. The image portrays a scene from August 1944 with Lieutenant (JG) George Bush as part of a four-plane formation of TBM Avengers from Torpedo Squadron 51 (VT-51) flying a low-holding pattern in preparation for landing aboard the carrier. The edition was personally signed by George H W Bush and, needless to say, copies of that original edition are extremely rare and highly sought-after.
Now, thanks to the latest high-definition technology, this wonderful image is available as part of Robert Taylor's hugely popular series of artist-signed giclée canvas proofs, creating the look and feel of the original painting.

LOW PASS OVER THE MÖHNE DAM
Guy Gibson under fire from the defending garrison, powers his Lancaster AJ-G at full throttle over the dam to confirm the extent of the successful breach. Below him, and clearly visible, the bright moonlight reveals the huge rupture in the dam's massive wall as the swirling avalanche of water surges into the valley below. With the subsequent destruction of the Eder Dam, and the damage to the Sorpe Dam, the men of 617 Squadron had achieved what they were asked, and more.
