A CLASSIC MASTERWORK COMMEMORATING THE INDOMITABLE AIRCREWS OF BOMBER COMMAND DURING WWII

STRIKE AND RETURN
By Robert Taylor

Winter in Northern Europe brings short days, long nights and, for the most part, appalling weather making navigation difficult and flying hazardous. Add snowstorms, gale force winds, freezing temperatures and rudimentary navigation aids, it seems a miracle the brave young men of RAF Bomber Command were able to continue at all. But continue they did.

This superb piece depicts Lancasters of 460 Squadron RAAF returning to their Lincolnshire base at RAF Binbrook following a daylight raid over Germany in the late winter of 1944. With the sun almost set, evening shadows lengthen on a magnificent winter landscape dusted with snow, as Lancaster J-Squared leads the mighty bombers as they descend in the fading light and the squadron motto rings true in the ears of the arriving crew – “Strike and Return“.
