LIMITED EDITION PRINT by Nicolas Trudgian
A new Limited Edition print by Nicolas Trudgian.
To commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, Nicolas has created this evocative painting of Hurricanes and Spitfires over the Thames estuary in the summer of 1940.
The long days of early August 1940 witnessed the most intense period of fighting during the Battle of Britain. Following their first action of the day, when No. 501 Squadron scrambled to intercept a morning raid, the Hurricanes now descend towards their forward base at Hawkinge to be refuelled and rearmed. For a few minutes they share the sky with fellow pilots flying their Spitfires back to Manston. Soon, these brothers in arms will be airborne again as another large wave of enemy aircraft is detected crossing the Channel. From the 10th July to the 31st October 1940, the tireless resolve of Fighter Command’s pilots bolstered Britain’s thin but impenetrable front line and would forever earn them the title 'The Few’.
From the studio of Nicolas Trudgian just two versions of this print are available:
The Remarque Edition of 40 prints signed by eight famous Hurricane pilots of the Battle of Britain.
The Canvas Giclee Edition of 35 prints. Signed by the Artist.
The Valiant Few is published by Vector Fine Art from whom other attractive editions of this print are available. For those alternative versions please visit our friends at www.vectorfineart.co.uk -
