New Christmas Ornament

Started another ornament today. Got one side complete, still one side to do.

Halifax Christmas

A small 8x10 acrylic on canvas depicting a Handley-Page Halifax. I visited the National Airforce Museum of Canada last year where they have a restored Halifax NA337. In the early morning of 24 April 1945, that Halifax crashed into Lake Mjøsa in Norway, killing five of the six aircrew on board. Years later, Tore Marsoe and his friend Rolf Liberg decided to locate the aircraft. In 1991, they found it in the lake at a depth of 750 feet (250 metres). The Halifax was eventually raised from Lake Mjøsa and brought back to Canada, where it took over ten years to restore it to its original glory. It is now proudly exhibited at the National Air Force Museum of Canada. There is also a beautiful volume telling it’s story.
