@FT From Jan 17, How large thunder clouds called pyrocumulonimbus form above some wildfires and transport particulates up to the stratosphere
@FT From Nov 5, a diagram explaining the depths of different tube lines at King’s Cross, accompanying a piece about pollution on the underground
My new piece of digital aviation art for @HistoryInTheAir‘s Sep issue takes a dive into the German V1 assault of 44-45, history's first cruise missile campaign, and the allies counter to it. I produce these regular features with editor @ClassicAircraft and writer @JDKightly
The Ford Mustang, a US classic to mark both the 4th of July and the passing of Lee Iacocca. The first one is at a classic car auction at the RAF Museum some years ago and the second one is the rental car I had way too much fun in touring the aviation museums of California in 2013
First sketch from last month's sabbatical travels: A beautiful @astonmartin DB6 gleams in the Berlin sun on the Kurfürstendamm at Classic Days Berlin #Procreate #illustration #classiccars #AstonMartin
100 years ago today Alcock and Brown arrived in Ireland having completed a truly horrendous and terrifying flight to become the first people to fly the Atlantic non-stop. True pioneers and heroes. A piece of digital aviation art for @HistoryInTheAir a few years ago
In the late 50s-early 60s Avro Lancaster PA474, now flying with @RAFBBMF was used as a flying test bed by what is now @CranfieldUni investigating boundary layer control. Here's recent art by me for @HistoryInTheAir showing how they did it plus a drawing of the aircraft now #PA474
A recent Briefing File illustration for @HistoryInTheAir on Spitfire propeller development plus a detail of the Mk IX and its constant speed hub and one of the aircraft drawings, a Spitfire Mk I
30 years since I came to sketch @RAFMUSEUM as a clueless art student and here I am sketching there again but now the sketching’s done on an iPad with an Apple Pencil. Still love the place as much as I did in 1983 (plus I'm a bit less clueless now)
