Description

Here we have a very rare print , it is an Artist Proof No 11 of 25 and has an added beautiful quadruple remarque which stretches right across the bottom of the print and is signed by Four VC holders of Bomber Command. A flight of RAF Bomber Command's most famous heavy bomber, the magnificent Avro Lancaster, makes a safe return to base after a tough daylight raid on enemy positions in the weeks following D-Day, 1944. An outstanding painting by Robert Taylor that has already secured its place in aviation art history , Last Flight Home must be one of the most acclaimed and well-remembered of all Robert Taylor's great Master Work paintings. Painted in warm glowing colours and set within the glorious confines of the beautiful English countryside, this is one of the most memorable studies of the mighty Avro Lancaster bomber ever created. The peace and tranquillity of haymaking is momentarily disturbed by the thunderous return of a squadron of Lancaster's. All eyes on the ground turn skywards as the great four-engined aircraft of the last flight home make their final approach to the neighbouring airfield after a raid over enemy territory. The men of Bomber Command have come home. It was these brave men to whom Winston Churchill turned when he saw no other route to victory except the destruction of industrial Germany... Individually hand signed by the artist : Robert Taylor and 4 legendary VC holders of Bomber Command : Group Captain Leonard Cheshire, VC, OM, DSO*, DFC , Warrant Officer Norman Jackson VC , Wing Commander Roderick Leoroyd VC and Flight Lieutenant Bill Reid VC...priced @ £2795.00 for this stunning rare remarqued print.
