Richard Taylor’s new painting presents a fine study of a
lone Mosquito FB MkVI of 143 Squadron, part of a larger
formation of the Banff Strike Wing, high over the Norwegian
fjords on an armed rover patrol to seek out enemy surface
shipping and submarines, in February 1945. The beauty of the
early morning sun, glinting on the snow-covered
mountain-tops, contrasts with the menacing job in hand.
Bravery, inordinate flying skills, and determination were a
prerequisite for the crews of Coastal Strike.
Every
print in this evocative limited edition is authenticated by
THREE crew who flew Mosquitos in the Banff Strike Wing
during
World War II.
