Oil on canvas.

David started his career as an artist on his own painting various aircraft sitting on the runway at London Airport. He was indeed known as the ‘London Airport Artist’ with no-one worrying about H&S. As a result of painting so many aircraft, David appeared on television as well as in the Illustrated London News (Sat 17 October 1953 edition) with the starters in the London /New Zealand air race and he is seen in the foreground with his little truck and easel. David always enjoyed a challenge and decided to join the nightshift workers under cover of the hanger when they were working on the Comet. He painted through the night enjoying himself enormously. Those were the days as they say.
