Last of the Biplanes Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2c and operated fromOne of my small, relatively inexpensive oils on canvas. This was painted whilst at the Duxford 'Flying Legends' 09 event. The actual aircraft was flying whilst it was being painted which I thought was rather nice. The image represents K7985 of 73 Squadron presently based at the Shuttleworth Museum.
