Aviation Art by Geoff Nutkins

Geoff Nutkins has been painting aviation art for over 20 years. His works are displayed in collections worldwide and are frequently used as illustrations in books and magazines. In conjunction with the Daily Telegraph, his Scenes of the Battle of Britain collection helped raise £100,000 for the RAF Benevolent Fund.

Not only is Geoff a fantastic artist, but he also owns the Shoreham Aircraft Museum in Kent. He and others at the museum have worked tirelessly on the Local Memorials Project, of which Malcolm’s memorial is next in line.
