Arctic Warrior

Previous Up Next

Bardufoss airbase, over 150 miles north of the Arctic circle in the far north of Norway, was for twenty years the deployment base for No.41(F) Squadron Jaguars. Flying in the ground attack and reconnaissance roles, the former Battle of Britain squadron were Arctic operations specialists in a region noted for its dangerous winter weather and extreme flying conditions. This beautiful painting portrays a Jaguar GR3, carrying a Vinten JRP reconnaissance pod, in action during NATO exercises in this rugged and inhospitable area where military pilots enjoy some of the most challenging flying in the world.
Michael Rondot has drawn on his own experiences of low flying in north Norway to create a stunning painting dominated by the camouflaged jaguar, and dramatically illustrating the bleak terrain and atmosphere of an Arctic winter.
