Description

Desert Scorpions – The Story Behind the Print

Desert Scorpions focuses on the logistics and firepower supporting British forces during the 1991 Gulf War.

The painting shows an MLRS resupply in progress in a forward battle area, with a Chinook helicopter transporting a water storage tank and the surrounding equipment and combat debris adding to the atmosphere of the scene.

The original product record notes the first combat use of MLRS during the Gulf War and the deployment of No. 39 Heavy Regiment Royal Artillery, supported by DROPS resupply and rearming vehicles.

The sold-out primary edition carried four named Gulf War commander signatures. One multi-signed and matted copy is listed subject to availability, so the complete signature list and its edition status are retained above.
