This aviation painting was painted for Mr. (formally flight sergeant) John Loban.
John was the sole surviour from the Halifax and blamed the R.A.F. for the loss and death of his friends.
The Halifax heavy bomber proved itself to be Britain's No 2 heavy bomber, eclipsed only by the superb Avro Lancaster.
John Loban commissioned this painting of his aircraft but did not wish this picture to be exhibited during his life time.
You could also commission in complete confidence from Gordon Frickers, simply go to our page:

John (navigator) and his crew trained in Canada for 2 years before this tragic flight. John Loban told Gordon a very remarkable story...
We even have the names of all the people involved and how many rounds the Me 110 night fighter expended.
John Loban blamed Royal Air Force orders to take no evasive action if attacked, to stay in the bomber stream, for this loss.
