I can see why it was sold out! It's fantastic!

[Jimbo27]

This is the only RT print I have, framed and on the wall. Sigs on mine are Drewes, Bill Reid, & James Tait.

I'd always wanted a print and never got the money together. In 2000 I got a surprise bonus and just went for it. Also got the matching book with it. Very happy.:D

well done for getting the book aswell, quite pricey itself now

[minter]

i see mark postelthwaite has a new bomber command print out, not an action scene, but very nice, and the prices start resonably low as well

[david cotton]

I will have to look at MP web site now....

....Veterans ......very nice print and good value to.

Shame there's not a canvas version to.

His Hampden print also looks very well painted and detailed........another artist who seems to of raised his bar lately

[Dan214sqn]

it does look a nice print, the hampden is lovely.
I got opening shots by mark last week, thats a fantastic print.2 of 25 aswell it is

[Dan214sqn]

sounds a more sensible option. Do you think they will def do a canves version?

[david cotton]

Another Lancaster Under Attack on Ebay.......9 bids already and at £160 :)
Only problem looks like its being stored rolled in the tube........very bad for the print :( .........still I had a couple of bids at it :D

[Christian]

That is a brilliant picture David.

Thanks for sharing mate. Good photo too.

[david cotton]

The one on Ebay went for £790 :) .........thats a lot of money for a print that has been kept rolled up :eek:

Be interesting to see the feedback on this one...........will it be a happy customer.:unsure:

Looks like the auction became a 2 man fight after £400.

Showing these grotty pics is bad fer me art and wallet :eek:

[Sponge Bob]

That is a lovely painting, I do like Robert Taylor's work :)

[Ken]

Beautiful print, great subject, congratulations on the find.

[the_old_un]

Thanks to the famous five I have a ton of Taylors beautifull prints :LOL: :mad:

Thanks to the famous five I have a ton of Taylors beautifull prints :LOL: :mad:

Robert Taylor has had a real love affair with the Lancaster over the years.:)

I have :-
Duel in the Dark
Strike and Return
Target bearing 270
Last Flight Home (Canvas)
Band Of Brothers
No Turning Back

Other Lancaster prints ( Non Dambuster) he has done are :-
Climbing Out
Target Peenemünde
Lancaster VC
Cloud Companions
Bombers Moon
High Cost

However, none of them really hit the spot for me.

I think Lancaster under Attack sits way above all his other Lancaster Prints by a big margin. It is a fantastic depiction of a classic Schräge Musik, Nightfighter kill.

I don't have Lancaster Under Attack, but that has to be one marked down for a canvas edition by the MG. I will get one when they do it :).

I still think we have room for another classic Lancaster print from Robert. I would like to see a picture Lancaster Pathfinder releasing its bomb load over the target . Considering this was what the Lancaster was built to do, there are very few prints that show it doing it.

[Dan214sqn]

you forgot escort for the straggler, G for George,early morning arrival

Cloud companions is a awesome print, i own a copy, its a firm favourite

escort for the straggler with 120+ sigs is rather special also :D :D :D :D

I have to agree, a lanc dropping her load would be ....whats the right word....a very good idea.i sense when the memorial at green park is ready we will be seeing some new stuff available;)

Yep.....could call it Mission Climax :)
