Description

Tower Bridge Incident – The Story Behind the Print

Michael Rondot’s Tower Bridge Incident records the extraordinary flight made by Flight Lieutenant Alan Pollock on 5 April 1968.

Flying Hawker Hunter FGA.9 XF442, Pollock passed through Tower Bridge during a sortie that became one of the best-known episodes in post-war RAF history.

The original product record connects the flight with Pollock’s dissatisfaction over the scale of official flying celebrations for the RAF’s 50th anniversary. Rondot’s painting concentrates on the defining moment as the Hunter passes through the bridge.

The print carries the signatures of both Michael Rondot and Alan Pollock, giving the edition a direct connection with the pilot who flew the incident depicted.
