Warplane Art / Re: Allow me to Introduce myself!

« on: June 10, 2008, 02:58:20 AM »

Hy Matt, welcome, and how is it there, near a home of the famous Avro Arrow? I had a lunch in a restaurant on the top of tower near falls (before few years), so I know how your city looks (a little bit).
Great that You are here.

I have driven past the factories where the Arrow was built many times (Malton, Ontario about 1 hour from here). I also live near the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum which has one of the world's two flying Lancs, it will be on display next weekend at the Russell Group airshow. The Russell group owns a Spitfire, a Hurricane and a 109, all fly! The '109 is a BoB veteran.

If any of you need info on the any of the aircraft just let me know! Thanks for your gracious welcoming!

Warplane Art / Allow me to Introduce myself!

Hello to all in this group!

I have lurked here for quite some time and have recently joined the forum with the intention of participating.

My passion in aviation goes back to my youth and I am also a private pilot. My father was a paratrooper and was always interested in a/c and that got me hooked. I also run a website dedicated to the men of RAF Bomber Command (www.bombercrew.com).

My interest in the aviation art stems from the fact that I am an Industrial Designer and naturally drawn to such subjects. However, due to family obligations etc, I haven't spent much time drawing and painting over the past decade but that is something I hope to reverse.

It is inspiring to see such talented individuals producing such quality work, I hope you all won't mind sharing with a newbie.

Regards,
