Description

Firebird – The Story Behind the Print

Firebird portrays the Tornado F3 in the distinctive markings of No. 56 (Fighter) Squadron, linking one of the RAF’s best-known fighter squadrons with the service’s long-range interceptor of the later Cold War era.

The Tornado F3 was developed from the Tornado family for the air-defence role and became a familiar part of RAF fighter operations before the introduction of Typhoon.

The edition comprises 56 signed and numbered copies, 25 Artist’s Proofs and Remarques and 20 canvas prints.

The standard edition is signed by Michael Rondot. A small number of Artist’s Proofs and Remarque copies additionally carry eight named Tornado F3 aircrew signatures, all retained above. Availability and pricing of those multi-signed copies should be confirmed before ordering.
