Stuart Brown studied Illustration at Southampton Institute in Hampshire, England. After graduating he joined a busy commercial design studio producing illustrations for a wide variety of brochures, advertisements and exhibitions. Working full-time with other traditionally skilled artists and designers proved valuable experience. A series of larger clients, including agencies of the UK MoD, provided a continuous flow of involved and challenging projects over a period of some 15 years. This work tied in well with a passion for aviation and a series of commissioned oil paintings of military and aviation subjects inevitably sparked a new direction for his work. Today, limited edition prints of Stuart Browns work are collected worldwide with original paintings in the collections of HM Forces. With a continued passion for aviation, Stuart is a
member of a British formation skydiving team. He has over 1000 jumps and regularly competes at national level. |

Mobility Troop Re-Supply by Stuart Brown. A heavily armed SAS fighting column is re-supplied by a Royal Air Force Chinook of 7 Sqn. Re-supplies such as these, often performed under the cover of darkness, allow Special Forces to operate deep behind enemy lines for months at a time where necessary. |
Excelsior III - the Long, Lonely Leap by Stuart Brown. The most incredible 614mph freefall from the edge of space, celebrated in this superb limited edition print, signed by the skydiving legend himself, Colonel Joe W Kittinger. Kittinger performed three extreme altitude jumps during August 1960 as part of the USAF research project Excelsior - a precursor to the US space race designed to test human survivability. Excelsior III was the climax of the operation. Leaping from the gondola of a 200ft diameter helium balloon, Kittinger spent four minutes thirty six seconds in freefall. Passing through 90,000ft, his speed reached an incredible 614mph (almost the speed of sound in the thin freezing air of the upper atmosphere) before his multi stage parachute slowed his descent - opening the main chute at 18,000ft. |
Summer of 44 by Stuart Brown. MkIX Supermarine Spitfires take off for evening patrol of the Normandy coast, June 1944. |
Special Forces HALO by Stuart Brown A four-man Special Forces patrol exit a C-130 Hercules to perform a HALO freefall insertion from 25,000ft. HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) operations enable Special Forces to be covertly inserted into hostile territory, often under the cover of darkness. Equipped with oxygen and heavily laden with weapons, ammunition, explosives, task specific equipment and other supplies. |
GR3 Field Trip by Stuart Brown. Harrier GR3s of No. 1 squadron in a secluded hide following a field exercise. The unique vertical take off capabilities of the Harrier allow front-line squadrons to deploy from dispersed sites. |
Black Hawk Special Delivery by Stuart Brown. A Black Hawk MH-60K of the U.S. 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) delivers a team of coalition Special Forces onto an Afghan mountain pass in the hunt for Taleban forces. MH-60K is the standard special operations version of the Black Hawk, capable of providing long-range airlifts far into hostile territory in adverse weather conditions. The avionics suite includes interactive Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) , Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) , digital map generator, and terrain avoidance/terrain following multi-mode radar. Survivability equipment includes radar and missile warning systems and IR jammers. The MH-60K has full shipboard operability and is powered by two General Electric T700-GE-701C 1843 shp turboshaft engines. |
Teamwork by Stuart Brown. Aircraft of the UKs Special Forces flight perform an ALARP exercise on an MoD range at Pendine Sands, Wales. The Air Land Refuel Points (ALARP) can be located on improvised airfields or beaches and normally operate at night with the aid of Night Vision Goggles. The aircraft portrayed are a 47 Sqn Hercules refuelling a 7 Sqn Chinook and a 657 Sqn AAC Lynx. Special Forces personnel provide armed cover. |
The Berlin Express by Stuart Brown. During the climactic phases of WWII, the powerful De Havilland Mosquito, allowed aircrews to fly up to three sorties in twenty-four hours. The German capital was attacked with such regularity the inhabitants christened the high-speed bmber The Berlin Express. |
HALO Night Insertion by Stuart Brown (Y) High Altitude Low Opening freefall insertions allow Special Forces to be deployed from altitudes of 25,000ft or higher, taking advantage of a low radar profile. Stabilised equipment containers can be filled with weapons, explosives, supplies and other task specific equipment. The containers main parachute is deployed by a barometric trigger at a preset altitude and followed under canopy by the HALO team to the landing point. |
