This is the Signed unique original Mixed Media art by Iain Wyllie.

The Sopwith 7F.1 Snipe was a British single-seat biplane fighter of the Royal Air Force during World War I on the Western Front. It was designed and built by the Sopwith Aviation Company during the First World War, and came into squadron service a few weeks before the end of that conflict, in late 1918.

The Snipe was not a fast aircraft by the standards of its time, but its excellent climb and manoeuvrability made it a good match for contemporary German fighters. This is a superb diagrammatic detailed painting.
