Summer of 44 by Nicolas Trudgian. As the Allied invasion of northern France drew nearer, the entire length of southern England had seemingly become one huge army camp. While the local population went about its daily business as best it could, British and American troops massed at every point near the coast in readiness for the imminent crossing of the Channel. Though the RAF fighters of 10 Group were tasked in the Air Defense role, like all RAF squadrons that could be spared, they became involved with the softening up process, a pre-requisite of any large scale landing on enemy occupied territory. Under the leadership of Wing Commander Peter Brothers, 10 Groups Spitfire Wing based at Culmhead was heavily involved flying shipping patrols over the beachhead and Rhubarbs - low-level strikes of opportunity - disrupting enemy movements and communications.Nicolas Trudgians comprehensive painting Summer of 44 recreates with such realism a scene in southwest England just a few days before the Normandy landings in June 1944. Mark IX Spitfires of No. 126 Squadron, returning from combat over France, sweeps low over the local branch line railway station on their way back to Culmhead. Below, as the GWR Prairie tank engine pulls out of the station, American troops are assembling their equipment in readiness for the impending invasion. Adding great atmosphere to his composition, Nick has painted a classically peaceful English landscape, highlighting the unique contrast between war and peace that pervaded Britain during that summer of 44. Published 2000. Only 8 prints of this edition remain. Signed by two of the most outstanding Spitfire Wing Leaders of World War II. |
Canyon of Lost Souls by Nicolas Trudgian High above the Animas river in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the daily passenger train bringing passengers from Silverton to Durango, negotiates the precarious High Line shelf. Over 400 feet below, the fast-flowing mountain waters thunder through the canyon. |
Spirit of the Mountain by Nicolas Trudgian The evening train from Durango has arrived via Lizard Head Pass, and now pulls out of Ophir, headed for Ridgway. Lit by a full moon, the evening quiet of the tiny mountain settlement is briefly interrupted by the C16 class locomotive, but soon, as it winds its way into the night, peace will again descend upon this idyllic and mystical scene. |
