I don't paint very often and this is one of only two aviation paintings I've done. I rather like this painting on my own wall, but if I get a reasonable offer, I'm prepared to sell.
This was based on a display by the RNZAF way back at the 2009 Classic Fighters airshow, painted in 2011, and with the show back in town this weekend, I thought I'd see if there's any interest.
Painted with quality Windsor & Newton oil paints.

State Highway 1 in Marlborough is expected to be closed for several hours after a truck and trailer carrying 10 tonnes of grapes rolled early Thursday morning.

A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said the driver suffered moderate injuries.”We had a truck and trailer on its side blocking both lanes. The load was 10 tonnes of grapes, and we were working with police and ambulance on a status three patient, he wasn’t trapped in the vehicle,” he said.

What you need to know:
- The crash happened south of Blenheim, at the bottom of Weld Pass, on a 45kph bend about 7.15am.
- The incident happened on the Seddon side of Weld Pass, was reported shortly before 8am and no local detours were available.
- The highway is expected to be closed for several hours while the crash scene is cleared.
