During my career in the RAF I was asked to
produce a number of scrolls to commemorate significant military
anniversaries. The first of these was the 75th Anniversary
of the RAF for which I produced the scroll shown on this page.
The scroll was signed by HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of
Edinburgh, HM The Queen Mother, HRH Princess Margaret.
The piece is produced on calf skin leather and is about 50cm x
30cm in size. The artwork is rendered in gouache and gold
leaf with the writing in gouache and chinese inks. The
piece is now on display in the foyer of RAF Marham. I was
subsequently asked to produce similar scrolls for the
anniversaries of the Royal Australian Air Force and the Royal
South African Air Force. Another piece I was delighted to
be asked to do was the scroll presented to the United States Air
Force by the RAF on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its
formation.

Anniversary Scroll select the images below.
