Limited Edition Print by Robert Taylor. The aircrew who flew and fought with the RAF as it played its part in removing the tyranny of Nazi power and occupation from Europe were among the bravest of the brave and two aircraft above all others came to symbolise their heroic fight: the elegant Spitfire, magnificent in defence during the dark days of 1940, lethal in attack thereafter; and the awe-inspiring Avro Lancaster, the four-engined heavy bomber that from 1942 onwards formed the backbone of Bomber Command and allowed the RAF to take the war into the very heart of Hitler's Germany. In recognition of the role played by these two legendary aircraft and the men who flew them, Robert's striking piece depicts a scene during those final few weeks of the war. A battle-weary Lancaster limps home along the Norfolk coast with its outer starboard engine feathered and out of action following one of Bomber Command's last daylight operations. Luckily a group of Mk. XIV Spitfires is on hand to provide close escort and will see the bomber safely back to base. Every print is individually numbered and personally signed by the artist, together with a famous Lancaster Pilot. Our prints are rolled using acid-free tissue paper and then carefully placed into a heavy duty tube. Please do not leave prints rolled in the tube for too long, as over time the print will forget it was ever flat!
