I have an interest in the history of Bomber Command WWll, my father served in 49th sqd. and 617sqd. so when I found a dilapidated print in a junk shop in CYD, I could not leave it, it had to be rescued, it was a mess, but I bought it for a few pounds, and gave it to the Victoria framers to do their best, and frame it whatever the condition, they did a great job.
I am now the proud owner of a signed Robert Taylor "Memorial Flight" print, with the additional signatures of other famous flyers of that time..... Johnnie Johnson, Leonard Cheshire VC, Group Captain Peter Townsend.
Info.....The Memorial Flight formed in 1957, the RAF’s Battle of Britain Memorial Flight remains one of the world’s great ‘flying museums’, a proud tribute to Britain’s military aviation heritage. As well as the five Spitfires and two Hurricanes, the Flight contains one of only two airworthy Lancasters in the world. Although numerous photographs have been taken of the Memorial Flight, few artists have succeeded in capturing the ‘essence’ of the three most important World War II aircraft as Robert Taylor has achieved with this wonderfully evocative portrayal of the Memorial Flight flying in formation over the English Channel, the late afternoon sun glinting on the sea below.
