A pair of Spitfires on duty over their homeland. The planes are 100% vector, background a mix of vector and raster.

A really evocative work of art. Wonderful detail. The earth below just melds it all together. The imagination fires up and goes with the planes.

A great piece of work, gray.
Beautiful.

That looks so real! The plane in the foreground almost pops out.

Incredibly good work not only in using your artistic skills to
portray a critical moment in history, but also to provide a stirring
salute to those who took part in the scene which you illustrated.
You're the man, Gray.

Graham - Can you post a few close ups, say of the cockpit, tail, and wings. The detail is amazing and I'm afraid this small size is not doing it justice.

Fabulous image.

Excellent. I immediately thought about Geoffrey Wellum and his book "First Light" (an amazing read).

Gary I've posted some closeups below.

Cheers.

My new favorite from you. Love the light on the foreground plane. Yes, definitely this is your best!
Clouds, ground, overall ambiance - lovely
