    Surely Cosford would have something along those lines, being as thay are restoring a Hampden.

    Why not cut back on the Reds abit. A four ship team like some other display teams across the world, They seem to do ok. With anything (coffers) left over they could joint fund/support those Gnats that are doing the rounds at the airshow and combine the 2 types in routines and give a blast of something new by using something old. 😉

    In the movie they mention about the front gunners legs getting in the way by dangling down into the bomb aimers area. They devise a harness to hold the legs up and out of the way during the bomb run, so i guess there were 2 up front.

    By looking around at other artists work I think if you have colours fading from an light orangey yellowy white glow to the tracer you cant go wrong. light Orange for stuff closer to the viewer and greyer white for the distant tracer.. There aren`t many around who are going to question it. 😉

    I put a blow torch to a tracer 303 round many years ago and from racking my memory cells these are the colours that stood out :diablo:

    Great pic. The beams of light being to one side took me by surprise as i have always thought they were angle beneath the aircraft but then that would be no use as there are no belly windows on a Lanc, save for the tiny one in the bomb bay to inspect to see if all bombs have dropped.

    Cheers mate. Thats why i take so ruddy long doing a painting. Trying to depict a scene unphotographed is usually my aim. Ive a Harrier GR3 on the go which isnt going to be hugely itenesive on the reasearch side but as im doing that im researching some WW2 RAF Rednal 61otu stuff which is my closest RAF station. Not many pictures of the aircraft and airfield exist so im gona be bringing it back to life with a flypast of Spits as viewed from within the formation 😀

    I always was under the impression that a flak shell was either time or hight fused. To get the flak to explode in such a way around an aircraft coming in at low level actually seems unlikely if you think about it. There would be no time to make the fuse adjustments.. Good for drama and effect in the movies of in paintings though.:rolleyes:

    Im sure if you read up on the many accounts from aircrew and flak stations you will quickly be able to fill in the gaps for your painting.. How far have you got with it??
