Portrait of Crew 3, Operation FALCONER

Portrait of Battle Crew 3, Operation FALCONER
Giclee print
420 x 594mm
Only 5 produced and in the collections of the members of Crew 3.

"When I was deployed to the Middle East during the war against Iraq, I was lucky enough to have four other professional aviators as members of my crew. Together we formed 'Battle Crew 3' and flew missions in support of the war effort."

"With the advances in printer technology, Giclee prints (pronounced ZSHEE-Clay), incredibly detailed and accurate 'one off' prints can be produced with inks guaranteed for a century. This image was a tribute to the other members of the crew who, I believe, were the best crew of the operation."(
