Gerald Coulson's dramatic painting Bolt for the Blue, published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first flight of the Lightning, captures the very essence of this formidable fighter. Seen climbing out of RAF Wattisham in Suffolk, a Lightning F.3 of RAF 111 Squadron scrambles to intercept an unidentified intruder plotted on the RAF's early warning radar. Almost certainly it will be Russian, probably he will be escorted out of harms way, but the interceptor is armed with a pair of air-to-air missiles just in case. A superb collector print for all who remember one of the greatest British fighters ever built. The editions are signed by the artist along with RAF veterans who flew in the Lightning during The Cold War. 350 Limited Editions signed by 5 veterans; Air Commodore John Mitchell LVO, DFC, AFC Air Vice Marshall George Black CB, OBE, AFC Air Vice Marshall Peter Collins CB, AFC Flight Lieutenant Ian Black Flight Lieutenant Hedley Molland 25 Artist Proof Editions signed by 10 veterans; Air Commodore John Mitchell LVO, DFC, AFC Air Vice Marshall George Black CB, OBE, AFC Air Vice Marshall Peter Collins CB, AFC Flight Lieutenant Ian Black Flight Lieutenant Hedley Molland Group Captain Ian Thompson Flight Lieutenant Alan Page Flight Lieutenant Ian Small Flight Lieutenant Paul Field Test Pilot Jimmy Dell OBE Print Size: 32 inches x 25 inches (81cm x 64cm)
