Nicolas Trudgian's new painting recreates Spitfires of No 603 Squadron as they scurry back to Biggin Hill to re-arm and refuel during the Battle of Britain, summer, 1940. An Me109, shot down the previous day, lies discarded in a field below them.

Dedicated to the RAF pilots who flew the great aerial contests of the Battle of Britain - Churchill's "FEW"

A typical scene from a bright August morning in that momentous summer of 1940. Having climbed into the dawn sky at daybreak, the Spitfires of No 603 Squadron have already been in action, and with more heavy raids on the plotters table, they scurry back to Biggin Hill to re-arm and refuel. A Messerschmitt Me109, shot down during the previous day’s fighting, lies discarded in a hay field, its lucky pilot having escaped with his life. Meanwhile, the beautiful Kent countryside comes awake as it prepares for the toils of another glorious summer's day.
