About "Avro Ansons 42 Air School"

Avro Anson GR-1's of 33 Coastal Reconnaissance Flight depicted outside the Bellman hangars of 42 Air School, Port Elizabeth, South Africa during WW2. Currently part of the PE SAAF Museum.
The GR1 was a general Reconnaissance, search and anti-shipping aircraft which was reliable and structurally safe, it had a welded steel tubular framed fuselage with stringers that were fabric covered and a low, timber structured wing with plywood covering. (Extracts from Paul Stringer's book on the 42AS)

About Don

I am a multi-faceted artist and illustrator, Senior Professional Architectural Technologist, former advertising exec and keen photographer. I work in oil, water colours, charcoal, pencil, Acrylics, pen and mixed-media including digital art. I enjoy all types of subject matter ranging from wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, portraits - across the spectrum to architecture, contemporary art, aviation, ships, trains and still life.
My aviation works are well researched and the aircraft and locations are accurate as possible so that they provide a true historical record for others to appreciate.

EDUCATION & PRIVATE TUITION:
I attended art classes from a young age and was privately tutored by Andre' Vancoillie, well-known local artist and lecturer at the age of 16 years as well as Paul Lavender in water colours.
My appreciation to Mrs Chilcott, my high school art teacher who saw something in me and went out of her way to mentor me by giving me extra art lessons in her spare time.
I matriculated in art at the PE Technical College and mention Mrs. Hill who assisted me greatly.

PRINTS AVAILABLE:
All my works are available as prints.
