The Paras are Landing by Terence Cuneo. To achieve the effects Terence Cuneo needed to put this subject over with conviction, he stood on a Surrey heath watching men unload form the sky. That seemingly gentle occupation turned out to be a shade less peaceful than he might have supposed. A container came thumping down missing him by a couple of yards, followed rapidly by a paratrooper, whom he had not spotted, missing him by barely two feet. As the aim was obviously improving, Terence Cuneo decided to move on. Luckily, the grounded figures proved far less menacing to portray. (excerpt from Military paintings by Terence Cuneo) |
Desert Scorpions by Michael Rondot. Dominating the foreground of his evocative painting of a typical resupply operation in the field are a Leyland Daf Drops vehicle from 12 Squadron, Royal Corps of Transport and a Multiple Launch Rocket System from 39 Heavy Regiment, Royal Artillery. |
Explosive Entry by Stuart Brown. (B) Members of a Special Air Services Counter Terrorism team execute an explosive entry armed with Heckler & Koch MP5 automatic weapons, 9mm pistols and assault greandes. |
