Description

The Penetrator – The Story Behind the Print

Michael Rondot’s The Penetrator captures the Blackburn Buccaneer S2 in the low-level environment with which the aircraft became closely associated.

Designed originally for carrier-borne strike operations with the Royal Navy, the Buccaneer later became an important RAF low-level strike aircraft and eventually equipped six frontline RAF squadrons.

In January 1991 Buccaneers deployed at short notice for Gulf War operations, providing Pave Spike laser target-marking support and taking part in attacks using laser-guided bombs.

The edition is limited to 100 artist-signed and numbered copies, including Artist’s Proofs and Remarque prints, with a further 25 canvas prints. The first few copies additionally carry the signatures of Wing Commanders John Babraff and Martin Engwell.
