Made a slight change to the code lettering on the Mossie, they were a little too large. Much better now I think

Wonderful wonderful work Terry and an absolute joy to behold. Thank you very much for sharing your exquisite talents.

I wonder if you, like me, find aircraft camouflage a fascinating subject matter?

e.g.











I would love to see what you would do on the camouflage theme.


Thanks again for sharing and keep up the fantastic work.

[Terryjones]

Thanks Sulair, I really appreciate you taking a look at my work
I love the old German lozenge camouflage from WW1 just like the DVII picture you posted. I'm hoping to include a DVII or an Albatros DVa in the gallery soon.

Almost finished, a little more detail in the Hawks , vapour trails and a little more cloud work.

Sean Cunningham RIP.







Made a slight change to the Jon Egging tribute, straightened the white smoke and thought it would be nice to view both paintings together.


Cheers,

Terry

A wonderful tribute to both men, I'm sure that the time, thought and talent put in to your works will be most appreciated.

Thank you for letting us see them grow and play our little part in them.

Been busy trying to sort out a new website so not been able to finish any new work. Revamped this older one though. All comments welcome. No tile for it as yet.

Triangle J..................

Is this one from Polebrook??????????

Please describe the aircraft for us, Terry...........

Danf.

[Xplumberlives]

Looks like a 351 BG machine!

[Dan4th]

My Dad's unit was the 379th BG(H), and
they had a big rivalry with the 351st.......

That's the only reason I know Triangle J
equals Polebrook and 351st

[Xplumberlives]

I originaly had this painted on the canvas about 1" on the side but took it off as it looked a bit like a sticker.



The Pink Lady is the nickname of a B-17G Flying Fortress bomber. It is one of the few B-17s still in flying condition, and the only flying survivor to see action in Europe during World War II.
Rolled out of the Lockheed-Vega production facility in Burbank, California in December, 1944, The Pink Lady was then only known as a B-17G-85-VE Fortress, serial number 44-8846. On March 1, 1945, 44-8846 was flown to RAF Polebrook, England, and assigned to the 511th Bomb Squadron, 351st Bomb Group. Since she entered active service so close to the end of the war, 44-8846 only flew six missions over Germany, the last one on April 20, 1945, when the 351st ended combat operations. She was transferred to the 365th Bomb Squadron, 305th Bomb Group, based at RAF Chelveston, England, when the rest of the 351st returned to the United States.
She was featured as the fictional B-17F Mother and Country, in addition to The Pink Lady, in the film, Memphis Belle, painted on one side to resemble the older B-17F. The Pink Lady was kept at Paris - Orly Airport, France, just to the south of Paris, until its hangar was listed for demolition. As of 2011 she is stored in a hangar in St Yan, (Saône et Loire), France.
