Like many famous artists, Robert Tomlin is a selftaught artist whose talent lay unknown and unappreciated for many years. He served in a supply position with the RAF for some years before moving to RAF Valley. Now a full-time artis, in just a few short years Robert has achieved world-wide recognition of his work, particularly in the field of aviation and F1. A large percentage of his work is commissioned by Corporate clients to be used for promotional purposes. Amongst his patrons are such world-class companies as Boeing, BAe Systems, DHL, Hewlett Packard, TNT and many European Air Forces including in particular Swiss, German and French, plus the world-famous Red Arrows. His F1 pictures are in great demand, most previous editions being sold out. |

Moment of Truth by Robert Tomlin. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the first flight of the DH110, this special edition of 500 copies has been taken from Robert Tomlins original oil painting. It depicts Sea Vixen XP924 of 899 Squadron as it is hurled from the waist catapult of HMS Eagle during the aircrafts last deployment in 1969. Following retirement from 899 Squadron the aircraft went on to serve with Flight Refuelling Ltd before being finally transferred to RAF Llanbedr for target towing duties. In 1996 it was purchased by de Havilland Aviation Ltd and placed on the civil register as G-CV1X. Still in flying condition, the aircraft now forms a core part of the de Havilland Aviation Ltd collection of historic aircraft and is regularly displayed at air shows in the hands of current pilot Dan Griffiths. |
Tigers Roar by Robert Tomlin. This limited edition print is a reminder of the heady days when the McDonnell Douglas Phantom reigned supreme. Still the definitive Mans Aircraft, its brute force and clinical efficiency are legend. The Phantom was loved by its pilots without exception and still held dear by all who flew in her and had contact with her. Preserved at Duxford in the UK by the Old Flying Machine Company, this aircraft is still resplendent in the 74 Tiger Squadron markings. The print shows the machine blasting off from the runway of RAF Valley during a typical detachment. |
Mosquito - The Wooden Wonder of Salisbury Hall by Robert Tomlin. (AP) On 15th May 1941, Geoffrey de Havilland Jnr, accompanied by Fred Plumb, lifts the third prototype Mosquito, the first night-fighter variant, from the unprepared fields of Salisbury Hall for the short flight to Hatfield. The Mosquito was probably the boldest private venture ever in the history of aviation and one of the most remarkable aircraft of all time. Conceived in secret in the stately home of Salisbury Hall in the great de Havilland tradition, the engineers and designers applied their genius of craftsmanship in wood to produce the war's most amazingly effective warplane. It had everything in one package. Faster than contemporary fighters, it could even carry more bombs than the Flying Fortress and roam the skies of Europe almost with impunity. The first prototype was assembled in the carefully disguised hangar at the side of the Hall, then dismantled for the short road journey to Hatfield, where it was quickly re-assembled and test flown. Such was the exciting potential of the first machine that it was decided too important to waste time with the next aircraft going through the long winded breakdown and rebuilt for the journey to Hatfield. With customary ingenuity and daring, Geoffrey de Havilland Jnr. decided that if a couple of trees were removed from the surrounding fields then he could get airbourne and fly the short hop to Hatfield, thus saving valuable weeks in the aircraft's development. Accordingly, the finished aircraft was lifted over ditches, rolled through hedges and taken to the top of the slight incline to the North of the Hall. With the tail pushed almost into the wood at the top of the field the engines were run up. With customary English awkwardness the farmer who worked the fields did not think it important enough to stop his work and he had begun to plough, de Havilland soars past the main building of Sailsbury Hall, en route to Hatfield. |
