THE BIG GUNS CANVAS GICLEE - LAST FEW REMAINING
Nick has received a commission to produce a pencil drawing of Erich Hartmann in his famous Me109 dogfighting with P51 Mustangs near Ploesti in Rumania. Artwork depicting Erich Hartmann and JG52 on the Eastern Front continues to be much in demand. One of the most sought after of Nick’s paintings of recent years was the spectacularly panoramic ‘The Big Guns’ which featured Hartmann, Gerhard Barkhorn and Hans-Ulrich Rudel flying over the Caucassus Mountains on the Eastern Front in 1944. There are just a few of the Canvas Giclee prints of ‘The Big Guns’ exclusively available from the Nicolas Trudgian website store. Canvas Giclees are popular because they are the closest thing to the real painting as they have the full size, vibrancy and power of the original and even close up are hard to distinguish from the actual painting, at a fraction of the price. >>

FLYING LEGENDS - GREAT WEEKEND
Nick has returned from a successful Saturday at Duxford Flying Legends Airshow as the guest of Vector Fine Arts The weather was sunny and lots of collectors, some familiar, some new, visited the marquee to chat with Nick. Lots of prints of Nick’s new release 'For King and Country' were sold and Nick was gratified that a print which is supporting the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust was so well received by collectors. Outside the marquee, the flying was exciting, especially the Blenheim, the P38 and, Nick’s favourites that day, the pair of Gladiators. A good day! >>

FLYING LEGENDS AIRSHOW 2015
Today is the 75th anniversary of the first day of The Battle of Britain. The Battle began on the 10th July 1940, and the selfless bravery of ‘The Few’ over the following months saved Britain from German invasion. Winston Churchill coined the phrase ‘The Battle of Britain’ in his speech in the House of Commons on 18th June 1940 in anticipation of what was to come. The speech ended, “...This was their finest hour”. As part of raising funds for The Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, Nick is preparing to attend the Flying Legends Airshow at Duxford this Saturday as a guest of Vector Fine Arts to promote sales of ‘For King And Country’. A total of twelve of ‘The Few’, some of whom have since passed away, sadly, have signed the ‘For King And Country’ Remarque Edition and its companion print ‘Crossing the Epping Road’. >>

AMERICAN DAMBUSTER - Released This Week
2013 sees the 70th anniversary of the Dambuster raid and to commemorate this event Nicolas Trudgian is releasing a very limited edition print entitled ‘American Dambuster’. Inspired by Joe McCarthy; the only American on the raid, the edition features Joe and his crew flying over the Mohne Dam having already bombed the Sorpe Dam. By inspecting the results of Wing Commander Guy Gibson and the first waves attack against the Mohne Dam, Joe felt that they may well be able to gather further intelligence on the success of the raid. What a sight it must have been.
Nicolas Trudgian personally visited the home of George Johnson (Joe Mccarthy’s bomb aimer on the raid) to interview him about the details of the raid and importantly, what he saw over the Mohne Dam. The result is a beautiful picture depicting Lancaster AJ-T flying over the breached dam with the reservoirs water cascading down into the valley below.
The print is exclusively available to purchase from Nicolas Trudgians web site.
