Hi Guys
I didn't have a lot of time over the summer (weeds and hedges kept growing) and I am only now getting time to do some painting. I had thought joining in with animal antics with ts one, but I realised that is for vehicles, and the Flying Nightingales was a nickname, so here it is, a thread of its own.
A week after D-Day three RAF nursing orderlies landed in Normandy to help medivac wounded from Normandy. The first to land was a lady called Lydia Alford, who also flew into the Arnham area to support those wounded during operation Market Garden.
This bust is my latest release, part of my 'women at war' series and depict Lydia wearing the RAF battle dress, 'mae west' and flying harness.
