He predominantly sketches Aircraft due to having such a close association with them but has a wide portfolio of Military sketches.

Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a number of single-seat, single-engine, fifth generation multi role fighter aircraft under development to carry out ground attack, reconnaissance, and air defence missions with stealth capability. It has three main models; the F-35A is a conventional take off and landing variant, the F-35B is a short take off and vertical-landing variant, and the F-35C is a carrier-based variant.

The F-35 is descended from the X-35, the archetype of the JSF program. JSF development is mainly being funded by the United States, with the United Kingdom and other partner governments providing extra funds. The partner nations are either NATO or close US allies. It’s being designed and constructed by an aerospace manufacturing team led by Lockheed Martin. The F-35 passed its first flight 2006.

The US plans to purchase 2,443 F-35s to provide the bulk of its air power for the US Air Force, Marines and Navy over the coming decades. 10 other countries, including the UK are part of the development program and could equip their air forces with the F-35.

Limited Edition Prints, sized 210mm x 300mm, signed by Royal Navy Officer Artist are available to purchase for only £9. Framed prints, larger prints and originals may be available upon request.
