I put this post in the Aircraft Section wrong forum ..sorry
Hi Guys
Iam not an aircraft modler but i do love what you guys do.
A great aunt recently died in Dorset in the UK and it would appear that she left me a fantastic Ltd Edition Print of of the attack on the Italian Fleet at Taranto by the Swordfish Torpedo Bombers of the Fleet Air Arm.
This print was comissioned by the Fleet Air Arm at Yovil they asked Commander David Williams a serving pilot in the Navy and an accomplished navel artist to paint the action which he did .
Iam now the proud owner of one of these Ltd Edition Prints signed by,
W.C.Sarra and J.Bowker of aircraft E4M it would appear the the other crew member Austin sadley died i understand last week
It will go in my modling area.
Cheers Chris Tango 20

Any chance of you taking a photo and posting it . That was the oeration that inspired Yammamoto to come up with his Pearl Harbor attack. Realize there may be copyright laws involved so I would never ask you to do something illegal, but I really would love to see it.
