This rare edition of Mosquitos at Dusk by Nicolas Trudgian features Mosquitos of 464 Squadron heading out on a mission. With their twin Merlins singing at full power, Mk FBV1 Mosquitos of 464 Squadron RAAF present a menacing picture as they set out on a precision low level mission, their streamlined, shark-like shapes silhouetted against the evening glow. Below, the tranquillity of a snow covered English coastal village is briefly disturbed as the Mosquito crews head into the night. A painting worthy of this much acclaimed World War II aircraft. The Portfolio Proof edition comes with a matching numbered companion print "Lone Hunter" taken from a pencil drawing and featuring a Mk NF XXX night fighter Mosquito of 85 Squadron. The Portfolio Proofs are signed by the artist along five highly distinguished pilots who flew the Mosquito in combat with the RAF during World War Two: Air Commodore John Ellacombe CB DFC* Air Commodore E.B.‘Ted’ Sismore DSO DFC AFC Flight Lieutenant Douglas Hadland Wing Commander Branse Burbridge DSO* DFC* (Companion Print - Lone Hunter) Squadron Leader Tom McPhee CB DFC*. We only have 1 of these rare collectable editions available. Edition: 150 Size: 36 x 29 inches overall including borders.
