UNSCHEDULED ARRIVAL at about the halfway mark. Still to go in are the human figures and aircraft. As you can see, the signal box is only roughed in at this stage. The painting took about six weeks to produce. The StoryIt was the night of August 25, 1944. 627 Squadron Mosquito pilot Bob Boyden and his navigator Ralph Fenwick had just marked the marshalling yards for an incoming Lancaster raid at Darmstadt, Germany. Bob was down on the deck with throttles wide open, heading home, when he chanced upon a railway station at Kaiserslautern. The Germans didn't have time to react, and still had their lights turned on. The intruder had gone as quickly as it had appeared. A fleeting, dramatic moment in the titanic struggle of war.
