About "South African Airways Boeing 727-100 Zs-Sbb “Lim"
SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS BOEING 727-100 ZS-SBB "LIMPOPO" 1970's LIVERY.
This Boeing 727 has been my favourite jet airliner since a young teenager in the 60's. I used to climb high pine trees at home to view them taking off from the Port Elizabeth Airport 10km away and flying over our small holding on the outskirts of the city.
I always marvelled at its power and deafening engines! Even going so far as to taking binoculars up with me so that i could watch them dissapearing towards Cape Town with that tell-tale brown streak trailing behind. They were so loud I could hear the thrust reverses roaring after touch down 10km away.
It was also the first jet aircraft that I flew in coming back from military training in 1969 and had a seat near the rear. I clearly remember the roar and vibrations on take off.
Its taken me 55 years to eventually paint this idol.
Credit: I referenced a flightsim image by "RHOD13" on X-Plane but was unable to thank him.

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.
