Original oil painting

This peaceful scene at East Kirkby in the winter of 1944 gives a very real feel for the vitally important work undertaken by ground crew in all weathers. At this stage of the war, to help identification at a distance, the tail fins of 57-squadron Lancasters wore a black vertical bar on a red background. The squadron flew on 348 raids, with 108 Lancasters lost in action plus 31 in accidents.

Oil on Canvas: 12” x 24” / approx. 30.5cms x 61cms.
The painting is signed on the back by Flt. Lt. Philip Ainley.
