Aircrew in Bomber Command during WW2 had a low survival rate in operations and even in training flights fatalities were not uncommon. It is estimated that over 57,000 aircrew died bringing the war to Germany. Many were patriots from the commonwealth of the UK who answered the call to duty to fight the enemies of freedom and democracy. And graveyards both in the UK and through out Europe bear silent witness to their courage and sacrifice. Memories evokes this with a Lancaster bomber flying over a field of Poppies accompanied by a spectral aircrew...
The artwork of Des Knock BSc. has appeared in many venues ranging from Glastonbury Abbey (2006), 37 horror book covers, a number of hobby modelling magazines, and of late a range of aviation subjects that have resulted in Christmas cards for the RAF100, RAF Hendon Museum, LAHC etc. and museum designs displayed around the UK And in one instance for a New York theatre production.
During WW2 over 57,000 Allied aircrew lost their lives in operational and training missions to bring an end to German tyranny. Of all the fighting services this was the largest number of losses and it is right that this sacrifice is recognised. They died in the fight for freedom, the same freedom we all share today. To honour this sense of duty I have created these pictures "Lest We Forget".
This 12 x 8 inch production is printed on quality photographic paper ready to be framed. Each print will be author signed and not just be a copy of a signature hence collectible. And this will be the first in a collection to be designed.
