Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of a metal print.   Your image gets printed directly onto a sheet of 1/16" thick aluminum.

The aluminum sheet is offset from the wall by a 3/4" thick wooden frame which is attached to the back.   The wooden frame includes a hanging wire for easy mounting on your wall (see photo on the left).

All metal prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with mounting hooks and nails.

Metal prints are extremely durable.   They're lightweight.  They won't bend, and they're water resistant.

The high gloss of the aluminum sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.

B17 Series

511 Sqdn

Based at RAF Polebrook from April 1943 until the end of WW2 in 1945 the B17s of 511 Sqdn saw constant combat action in a variety of roles. Continually at the forefront of bomber operations 511 Sqdn was part of the 351st Bomb Group which suffered heavily in European missions with some 170 B17s and crews lost from the four squadrons comprising the Group.

The image shows a pair of B17s from 511 making their way homeward in somewhat relaxed formation - the aircraft are still in the heavy camouflage finish prevalent up until mid 1944. The aircraft in the image was indeed a �member� of 511 Squadron and flew six missions to Germany at the end of WW2. She is the only surviving B17 to have seen combat service and is now regrettably reduced to care and maintenance status due to the heavy cost of EU insurance - only one B17 remains flyable in Europe, with 11 others in the US remaining from the 12,000+ built.

Have been interested in photography since just after WW2, when film became freely available again, using Kodak Autographic equipment. Graduated, in the 50's, to 35mm and was involved in photographic work during my 17 yrs as RAF aircrew - navigator. Since retirement and migrating to Canon digital equipment have been involved with two of my sons and one grandson in a considerable amount of photographic activity, particularly composite images. Now producing digital art prints with the major emphasis on classic warbird aviation. With son, Duncan, now becoming a well-known and published wild life photographer we have started, in 2017, a new gallery reflecting Scottish sea birds - and 'feathered' flight
