Just thought I'd do this for fun...

It's a vague imitation af Gerald Coulson's painting Guardian Spirit, which has a Spitfire Mk.I (or II) of 92Sqn (most of his paintings of Spitfires feature this squadron) being shadowed by a ghostly SE5A off its port wing...



Here's the real one,


It's just occured to be the combination of Seafire and Triplane is quite apt, as I believe the Sopwith Triplane was used by the RNAS in the Great War, the forerunner of the FAA

Very nice Charlie old pal. It really looks the part.

Wow, very very very nice!! It reminds me of one of those ghost aircraft

That is simply pukka

That's nice!  You should try that with a Eurofighter...

Thanks all

That's nice!  You should try that with a Eurofighter...

I almost did! May still do so, it's just choosing the ghost a/c to go with it. How about a Hawker Typhoon (he says belatedly realising the link between the two)? Was going to do a Tornado Gr. ?  with a DH Mossie...

Charlie

Or perhaps a Eurofighter with the ghost of a Spitfire in the background?

excellent pic. i may run off a print to hang on the wall.

Hi Charlie

Nice composition  ;) and a good idea  ;D

Cheers Paul

Great edit. I really like it.

Does anybody have a nice high resolution printer? Id really like a good print o that. If its on a large (A4) piece of paper thats best. Ill pay SandH.

looks pretty neat to me..:-)

Cool pic  ;D like the ghost effect.  Think that its a Sopwith triplane though, the SE5A was a Biplane if i remeber right.

Charlie already knew that Gixer. The original painting it's based on is of a Spitfire & SE5a.

Guardian Spirit by Gerald Coulson

BTW how do you give it the goast effect?
