Description

Stalwart of the Battle of Britain , the Hawker Hurricane equipped the majority of the RAF squadrons that defended Britain during that epic and decisive air battle in the summer of 1940. At the forefront of the air fighting over the southern counties of England , the young Hurricane pilots of 501 Squadron covered themselves in glory...Throughout the long hot summer of 1940 the villages and towns of south east England found themselves in the front line as the Battle of Britain raged high above in clear skies. Crash-landed in the corner of a Sussex field , a German Ju88 of KG30 is an uninvited visitor. More welcome are the Hurricanes of 501 Squadron as they roar low overhead , racing home for fuel and ammunition. Within minutes they will scramble aloft again to rejoin the battle....THE ACES EDITION : Joining artist Nicolas Trudgian , every print in this new commemorative edition has been signed in pencil by TWO Aces who flew Hurricanes with 501 Squadron during the Battle of Britain...Signed by the Artist : Nicolas Trudgian , Squadron Leader KEN LEE and Wing Commander KEN MACKENZIE...priced @ £120.00...To complement the purchase of your fine art print, we are now able to offer a professional Picture Framing service.
