This week a memorial was installed at The National Memorial Arboretum.
Royal Air Force Bomb Disposal was the first Bomb Disposal Squadron and was on active service 24/7 for 77 years.
@RoyalAirForce #EOD #BombDisposal – at Lymington, England
Strength is Power
Calling the @RAF_Wittering montage finished. I have tried to capture as many of the aircraft and ground units that have been stationed at this famous base as possible, but a canvas is only so big!

Five years ago a friend did a sketch on a post-it note and asked me if I’d fancy doing a mural for 5131 Bomb Disposal Squadron @RoyalAirForce and got me painting again for the first time in decades.

Starting the last aircraft today on the #wittering montage.
Fitting the last aircraft is another Harrier.
Only a couple more elements to start, then the scenery and then hours of finishing.
