| High Summer by Anthony Saunders. On the 9th September 1940, No.92 Squadron was thrown into the Battle of Britain. They had fought bravely during the evacuation of Dunkirk, and after a spell on convoy patrol, they were thrust into the desperate climax of the greatest air battle in history. Flying Spitfires from Biggin Hill, they immediately went into action attacking massive Luftwaffe bomber formations and their escorting Me109s. Southern England was under severe threat, but the impact of 92 Squadron was immediate. During the next four months, its young pilots brought down no fewer than 127 enemy aircraft. This painting by Anthony Saunders portrays Spitfires from No.92 Sqn as they successfully engage an Me109 over the harvested fields of southern England, in August 1940. The desperate action of aerial combat is beautifully captured in this compelling and accurate reconstruction of a famous fighter squadron at war. Signed limited edition of 400 prints.

| Defence of the Realm by Adrian Rigby. Pilot Officer Alan Wright flew with No.92 Squadron based at Pembrey. His aircraft, a Spitfire Mk I, is often seen as the symbol of the Battle of Britain, though in fact, the Hurricane bore the brunt of the fighting. Nonetheless, the Spitfires beautiful shape endears it to everyone and it remains a potent national symbol. This painting depicts an action which took place on 11th September 1940. Having already downed a Heinkel III, Wright claimed his first Me109 the same day. His final tally would be 11. Aircraft were frequently pushed to their limits of endurance and this Spitfire bears all the marks of many missions. Signed limited edition of 295 prints.

Depart in Peace by Geoff LeaOn 15th September 1965, the late Jeffrey Quill flew the
old Spitfire VB AB910 into RAF Station Coltishall to be handed over to the
Royal Air Force Memorial Flight and preserved in perpetuity.
Significantly, this was to be virtually the final moment of a thirty-year
association and devotion by Jeffrey Quill to his beloved Spitfire.
After Mutt Summers' initial flight, it was largely left to Jeffrey to help
turn Reginald Mitchell's inspired design into the most famous fighter
aircraft of all time.Jeffrey Quill writes in his book, 'Spitfire, A Test
Pilot's Story', "It had been my business to criticise it and identify
its faults; I had no illusions about it and knew its problems only too
well. Indeed, they had caused me sleepless nights all too often... As I
climbed out of the cockpit of AB910 I had that feeling of sadness, of
bidding farewell to an old an trusted friend."The title of the print comes most appropriately from the
words of Nunc Dimittis, - "Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart
in peace," as AB910 goes into the loving care of the Memorial Flight.AB910 had a long, historic career since being built in
1942 at Castle Bromwich. It was delivered to 92 Squadron whose
letters QJ-J it bore at the time of presentation. Ninety-two Squadron flew
Spitfires throughout the entire war and was also one of the Royal Air
Force's top-scoring squadrons. AB910 was also the aircraft on which
a ground crew WAAF, now Miss Horton, made an unscheduled flight crouched
across the tail. After the war, it was bought by the late Air Cmdre
A. H. Wheeler, CBE, and later by Vickers-Armstrong Aircraft limited, who
completely restored it. This work was carried out almost as a solo
job by Arthur Luscombe at Chilbolton and later the aircraft was based at
South Marston.As shown in this painting, AB910 was fitted with a
Merlin 55M engine from a Seafire III to improve low-level performance, and
a four-bladed propeller, untypical of a Spitfire V, both of which have now
been changed by the Memorial Flight.After a life of more than forty years, AB910 continues
to give pleasure to thousands as it participates in displays during the
summer months. AB910 serves as a permanent reminder of those days of
the 1940s when the flashing, eliptical wings skimmed high and proudly to
bring freedom to the skies. Now, as then, to be a Spitfire pilot is the
dream of small boys of all ages. Indeed, even as one sees and hears
this remarkable machine, inevitably its magic draws us all into its heart
to become part of a legend.It is hoped that this print of a unique occasion in
Spitfire history will serve to propagate that magic, so that succeeding
generations can share in our wonder. Copy No.1 hangs in the R. J.
Mitchell Hall in Southampton, and further copies have been presented to
the Royal Air Force Museum and the Smithsonian Institute.
