About this picture
After serving with the Royal Air Force in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), it seems that Peter Lord returned to the UK to fly in Wellington bombers. It looks as if this is a scene he encountered when returning from a sortie. His squadron may have come under attack from Messerschmits which were then attacked by Spitfires resulting in a dog fight.
North Foreland Lighthouse to the south of thr Thames estuary and the white cliffs of Dover can just be seen in the distance.
About the Artist
Peter Lord
Brothers Peter and Francis E. Lord worked with Bill Urquart Dykes who
raced Alvis cars at Brooklands, in the Tourist Trophy races in Northern Ireland
and at the Le Mans 24 hour. Their art work accordingly featured many Alvis cars
and other significant cars of the 1930’s and 1940’s. Their work was published
in the Alvis Club Magazine. Many of their works feature The Brooklands circuit
in its heyday. They appear to have been very involved with activities generally
at Brooklands.
During World War II, Peter Lord served in the Royal Airforce in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) before returning to UK

SHIPPING - The shipping costs INCLUDE
INSURANCE.
Whilst if the picture is framed, it is likely that the frame is not perfect but
may be acceptable to you.
If present, the frame is NOT sold as part of this
item.
I would suggest that this is an opportunity to have the picture re-mounted and
framed to compliment the room in which you wish to hang it to optimise on its
effect.
Make the most of your art!
THE SHIPPING COST DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FRAME if
the picture is framed.
Please tell me if you would like the fame and I will send an invoice to include
it in the shipping.
That being said, I can't insure for damage to the glass or frame.
Usually, If I buy a framed picture at auction, I would expect to have to pay
around £50 to someone like Mail Boxes Etc for shipping, but that includes
collection, packing and shipping.
Frequently the cost of shipping is nearly as much as the picture itself, but
does include a margin for commercial profit.
I do not aim to make a profit on the shipping costs.
