["This painting was the fiftieth (50) Hawker Hunter painted by Michael Rondot and in his own words "the first one he got right". He was flying Hunters at the time at RAF Lossiemouth and the close contact with the aircraft helped to clarify the subtlety of the graceful lines of the beautiful Hunter. Many artists have tried to paint the Hawker Hunter but few have captured the shape and detail with such accuracy and atmosphere. This is a real pilot's picture." collectair.co.uk] [ RAF ]
