The Painting depicts a
peaceful scene of a solitary Spitfire flying over the estuaries of
southeast England, alone and free in a sunlit sky. The aircraft featured
is a MkVB Spitfire of 610 Sqn., which was based at Ludham in the summer of
1942 and was briefly the personal aircraft of Flight Commander Denis
Crowley-Milling following his return to the unit after spending some
twelve months evading capture in occupied Europe. He survived the war and
became a permanent commissioned officer in the Royal Air Force with a long
and distinguished career. |
