Aviation artist Robert Tomlin. Like many
famous artists, Robert Tomlin is a self taught artist whose talent lay unknown
and unappreciated for many years. He served in a supply position with the RAF
for some years before moving to RAF Valley. Now a full-time artist, in just a
few short years Robert has achieved world-wide recognition of his work,
particularly in the field of aviation and F1. A large percentage of his work is
commissioned by Corporate clients to be used for promotional purposes. Amongst
his patrons are such world-class companies as Boeing, BAe Systems, DHL, Hewlett
Packard, TNT and many European Air Forces including in particular Swiss, German
and French, plus the world-famous Red Arrows. His F1 pictures are in great
demand, most previous editions being sold out.

| A Green Hill Far Away by Robert Tomlin. On the morning of October 14th 1943 along with 15 others from the 305th Bomb Group, Lazy Baby set off from Chelveston in England on Mission 115, the second Schweinfurt raid, later to become known as Black Thursday. By the time they reached Aachen on the outward leg only Lazy Baby and two others of the 305th were left flying, They were then seriously damaged and three crew severely injured whilst two bailed out. Diving from 23,000 ft to only 3,000 ft, pilot Ed Dienhart managed to escape the attacking fighters. With the ball turret gunner trapped and navigator seriously injured they proceeded at 30 to 50 feet, hedge-hopping all the way, to Switzerland and safety. Guided by the navigator Don Rowley who, despite having both arms virtually severed, managed to steer them from memory for over an hour to Switzerland where they made a dramatic crash landing only four miles from the German border. The navigator died the following day from his injuries. Whilst the pilot drew upon every ounce of his flying skills, the rest of the crew exhibited untold valour in the face of terrible adversity and selfless devotion to their stricken comrades. This print is autographed by pilot Ed Dienhart and Swiss Schoolmaster Leo Thüring who helped to rescue the mortally wounded navigator. Accompanying the print is a 24 page illustrated book which charts the story from take off, through the landing, to the eventual escape of some of the crew back to England. An individual book plate is also signed by members of the crew, the author and relevant Swiss personalities providing not only a complete historical record of the heroism and valour of the crew, but a tribute to all who fought for the freedom which we now enjoy.
