Oil on canvas, 24 x 18 inches, 2014
The last surviving member of the Dambusters from the Second World War.
The crews in Lancasters from 617 Squadron used “bouncing bombs“ to breach dams that helped power German factories in the Ruhr Valley.
A bomb aimer, George Leonard “Johnny” Johnson has just written a book about his exploits and his crucial role during the attack on the Sorpe Dam in May 1943.
