Description
Combat Over Blakeney – The Story Behind the Print
Combat Over Blakeney captures RAF F-4 Phantom FGR2s over the Norfolk coast as they meet USAF 527th Aggressor Squadron F-5Es.
The Phantoms wear the colourful “Firebird” markings of No. 56 (Fighter) Squadron, placing the scene firmly within the RAF Phantom’s Cold War air-defence story.
The Phantom served the RAF in strike, ground-attack and air-defence roles. Rondot’s painting focuses on the fighter-training environment, with the RAF aircraft shown at the merge with the American aggressors.
The edition carries an extensive group of RAF signatures, with Air Vice Marshal Steve Nicholl specifically associated with the artist’s proof and remarque copies, as detailed above.
