    Aviation Art - The one that got away

    Over a year ago I saw my first Robert Taylor prints at Duxford and didn't buy any because I thought it may have been a rip-off. I remember seeing a print signed by Galland and Johnson but forgot what it was. Eventually tracked it down (it's called Eagles High) to find it's now sold out and the only prospect of finding one is on what they term "2nd Market". In the meantime I bought "Baders Bus Company" several months ago and am very pleased with it. But I now have a passion to complete my "set" of prints with two more. The BBC print is naturally of Spitfires, so I now want one of 109s and then one with both on. So my first quest is to find the "Eagles High" print somewhere. With regard to the 109s print, they have just released the 3rd (in fact it is the 1st chronologically) of a set of 3 prints based upon Gallands 3 most memorable moments. It's when he was with JG26. It has his signature, but the downside is that the prices of these prints has rocketed. Earky prints sold for £60-£80, mine sold for £120-£140, but this new release (most memorable Day) is selling for £375 Examples below
