SAAF Northrop Nomad A17A No. 1265 - 15 which served with both 41AS and 42AS during WW2, depicted flying past the Cockscombe Mountain peak close the the 42 Air School near Port Elizabeth.
The Nomads were amongst the first aircraft to arrive at the Air School and were used mainly in the air to air gunnery target tug role.
The Northrop's monopolized the air space over the Port Elizabeth aerodrome initially after training got underway whilst dropping their drogues.

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.
