On 24/7/1942 Bristol Beaufort AW288 of 86 Squadron Coastal Command AW288 took off from RAF Portreath, Cornwall, headed for Malta, heavily loaded for the long flight ahead, but tragically crashed shortly afterwards, with the death of all four crew members. It seems likely that a fault developed in one engine and the pilot was attempting to find a place to put the aircraft down, but in attempting to avoid the aircraft crashing into a local village he was unable to do so. The painting commemorates the bravery and sacrifice of the crew.

This print is taken from one of my original oil paintings, created to commemorate the bravery of the aircrew involved in WW2.

SUPERB OPEN EDITION PRINT – 10” x 8” (25.4cm x 20.3cm) sheet size. Image size is c. 9" x 7" (c. 23cm x 18cm).

This print uses the same high quality conservation grade printing processes and paper as my full size limited edition prints (link below), so the print quality is still to the same excellent standards.

The framed print is the perfect option for buying a COMPLETE GIFT, ready to give to the recipient.

The print comes framed in a solid wood frame with a smooth black painted finish. It can be hung on a wall with ease, but also comes with a stand so that it can be displayed free-standing on any flat surface. The print comes fully fitted in the frame, with a protective acrylic glazing.

Please Note: Prints are produced in small batches. I normally have one copy of each print available for immediate dispatch within 2-3 days.

This painting is also available as a:

Full Size Limited Edition
and
Unframed Open Edition
