Spitfire Series
Interdictor
By early 1945 the Allied air forces had achieved almost complete air superiority and many sorties were now flown in the ground attack and interdictor role. Johnnie Johnson’s wing was pre-eminent in this and the new Griffon powered Spits were ideal for the low-level missions.
The image shows Johnson’s Spit, supported by a trio of Canadian members of 144 Wing, flying a low-level dawn strike interdictor mission in the last days of WW2.

Have been interested in photography since just after WW2, when film became freely available again, using Kodak Autographic equipment. Graduated, in the 50's, to 35mm and was involved in photographic work during my 17 yrs as RAF aircrew - navigator. Since retirement and migrating to Canon digital equipment have been involved with two of my sons and one grandson in a considerable amount of photographic activity, particularly composite images. Now producing digital art prints with the major emphasis on classic warbird aviation. With son, Duncan, now becoming a well-known and published wild life photographer we have started, in 2017, a new gallery reflecting Scottish sea birds - and 'feathered' flight
