Signed by Group Captain Dave Roome, OBE and six other 74 Squadron pilots based at RAF Tengah in Singapore between 1967 and 1971.

Inspired by the amazing story of Dave Roome taking his Lighting to 87,800ft over Singapore, this stunning print captures the power of the Lighting as it climbs towards extreme altitude where the sky darkens and the curvature of the Earth is clearly visible.

The original painting was exhibited at the 2024 Guild of Aviation Artists Annual Exhibition at the Shuttleworth Collection where it was bought by Dave Roome himself.
