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.

RESPONSE TO CALL
You can almost hear the roar of their mighty Merlin engines and feel the prop-wash in Robert Taylor's commemorative new salute to the Hawker Hurricane. His classic portrayal of this much-loved fighter depicts a pair of Mk.I Hurricanes from 32 Squadron leading the scramble away from their forward airfield. Often making three, four or five such scrambles a day at the height of the battle, this time they are racing to intercept Luftwaffe intruders who have been spotted crossing the Kent coast.

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 OF THE BELLE - THE GICLÉE STUDIO PROOF
There can be few more stirring sights than a B-17 Flying Fortress coming home after a
long and arduous daylight mission over occupied Europe, and Robert Taylor's inspired painting Return of the Belle has come to symbolise the huge role played by the bombers of the U.S. Eighth Air Force in Europe during World War II.
The famous Memphis Belle, skippered by Captain Bob Morgan, became the first B-17 in
the 91st Bomb Group to complete 25 missions, and returned home to the US with a crew that had been decorated more than 50 times.
Set in gentle Cambridgeshire countryside, Robert Taylor gives us an engaging view of the Memphis Belle as she returns from one of her early missions on a late autumn day in 1942. It was a typical scene that would be re-enacted across countless airfields in England as the heroic airmen of the Mighty Eighth Air Force fought with unstinting sacrifice for the liberation of Europe and the free world.

RETURN OF THE FEW - BATTLE OF BRITAIN PORTFOLIO
A loose formation of Spitfires from 92 Squadron head back to their base after a successful sortie over northern France. As the fighters approach the indomitable white cliffs near Dover, the pilots have decided to make a protective low-pass over a group of Royal Navy armed steam trawlers buffeting up the Channel, operating in their new-found role of inshore coastal patrol. The trawlermen acknowledge their RAF comrades with a friendly wave

RETURN OF THE HUNTERS - A D-DAY PORTFOLIO
As men and materiel pour ashore from the recently installed, prefabricated 'Mulberry Harbour A'
at Omaha Beach, a pair of RAF Mk 1b Typhoons from 245 Squadron race back towards their
base at Holmesley South in Hampshire, to re-fuel and re-arm. The Typhoon pilots have
just delivered a devastating rocket attack on German positions behind the Normandy
beachhead. A few days later a violent storm would devastate the harbour below.
