A watercolour and gouache painting on paper by the artist M. Drake, depicting an Avro Lincoln B Mk II heavy bomber. The aircraft is shown in flight, banking slightly to reveal its four engines and twin tailfins. It carries the serial number RF570 and standard Royal Air Force markings, including roundels on the fuselage and wings, and fin flashes on the vertical stabilisers. The work is executed in a precise, illustrative style typical of mid-20th-century aviation art. The composition features the aircraft against a background of layered clouds in shades of grey and blue. The artist’s signature, M. Drake., is located in the lower right corner in cursive script. The painting is housed in a dark wooden frame with a gilt-effect inner slip and a cream-coloured card mount.
