At the Going Down of the Sun

At the Going Down of the Sun - Aviation Art print by Michael Turner

At the Going Down of the Sun Ref: GS

2012 has been the year that RAF Bomber Command crews and personnel have finally been recognised for the staggering commitment and sacrifice they made towards the final achievement of victory in World War Two.

In July, Her Majesty the Queen unveiled a stunning memorial in Green Park, London, appropriately sited opposite the RAF Club in Piccadilly.

"I wanted to add my own small tribute to those young men who put their lives on the line, leaving their bases night after night to set out over occupied Europe, not knowing what fate held in store for them. It seemed appropriate to concentrate on a scene featuring one typical bomber crew preparing to board their Lancaster, but pausing for a moment's thought to view a sunset sky. The title 'At the Going Down of the Sun', the first line of the touching remembrance dedication, seemed to sum up the emotions of the moment, leaving the viewers to make up their own minds whether these brave airmen returned or not.

I am pleased to say that a percentage of any revenue derived from sales of prints of this painting will go to the Bomber Command Association who, in conjunction with the RAF Benevolent Fund, have the remit to support the upkeep of the Memorial in perpetuity." - Michael Turner
