Limited Edition Aviation Mounted Print

A Winter’s Dawn

By Philip West

Approximate Overall size  76 cms x 52cms

This peaceful scene at East Kirby in the winter of 1944 gives a very real feel for the vitally important work undertaken by ground crew in all weathers. At this stage of the war, to help identification at a distance, the tail fins of 57 – squadron Lancasters wore a black vertical bar on a red background. The squadron flew on 348 raids, with 108 Lancasters lost in action plus 31 accidents.

All the prints are signed by 57 Squadron Lancaster pilot Flt. Phil Ainley DFC.

The Artist Studio proof are also signed by three additional 57 squadron Lancaster pilots – including Marshall of the RAF Sir Michael Beetham GCB, CBE, DFC, FRAcS.

Artist Studio Print £175.00

Every limited edition print bears the unique signature of the artist. This signature is the artist’s seal of approval that the print is a faithful and accurate reproduction of his original painting. Over the years collectors have demonstrated their enthusiasm for prints countersigned by pilots and/or crew members. Wherever possible we try to accommodate this preference, but sometimes it is either impractical or prohibitively expensive. e.g. when the relevant people live overseas.

All prints are carefully wrapped in cellophane for dispatch along with the Certificate of Authenticity. Prints are dispatched flat with ParcelForce or UPS
