‘Apache Swansong’ commission for AAC

This painting was commissioned by the Army Air Corps and captures the final pre-retirement flypast of the Mk1 Apache helicopter at Middle Wallop on December 8th, 2020. Led by Major Steve Jones AFC, the formation of eight helicopters from 673 Squadron flew over the home of the Army Air Corps training establishment for a final time before retiring from service.

The original painting now hangs in the Officers Mess at Middle Wallop.

Motorway Trials goes metallic

I’m happy to say that famous die-cast metal company Corgi approached me to use my ‘Motorway Trials’ painting to promote their new release of Jaguar XX109. The original plan was to use the painting as box art, which would have been amazing, but unfortunately for various reasons this was downgraded to a feature post-card and box ‘badge’. Nevertheless, it was still a great honour to be associated with this great brand.

‘Motorway Trials’ prints now available

I’m pleased to say that prints of my Jaguar painting ‘Motorway Trials’ are now available from our Etsy shop, check out the ‘Prints’ page for details. More news to follow about a certain die-cast model company release connected to this painting.

‘Into the Valley’ prints now available

Blackburn Buccaneer S.2, Lake District.

I’m very pleased to say I’ve had a great response to this picture so I’ve decided to go ahead with making a limited edition print run of 100 copies. They are available from our Etsy shop, check out the ‘Prints’ page for details.
