Brendon Deere Commission:
I was contacted in late 2007 by Chris Deere the great Nephew of Air Commodore Al Deere with the view to produce a painting for his Father Brendon who is the Nephew of Al Deere. Brendon and a team of engineers have been reconstructing a MKIX Supermarine Spitfire S/N PV 270 since December 2003. The project is being operated from the ITL Aviation Hangar in Fielding New Zealand. For more detials on the restoration please visit the link below.
Restoration Project (PV270)
The Painting:
Chris and I discussed several options and It was decided that the painting should show Brendon Deere taking PV 270 in the markings and colours of Al Deere's original Supermarine Spitfire on it's maiden flight over his home town of Waitarere in New Zealand.
Testimonials:
I found working with Martin an easy and enjoyable process. His attention to detail and level of research into every angle of the project ensured we were rewarded with the painting we wanted. Martin worked tirelessly to deliver a truly unique piece of work and one I know my father is extremely happy with. A true homage to Al and all those that took to the skies during the war.
Chris Deere.
I was very pleased with your work in creating the “AL” over Waitarere scene. The painting has a special quality which captures the aircraft and the New Zealand countryside it will operate over soon. You have managed to give life to the aircraft and added inspiration for us to complete the restoration and to recreate this scene with “AL” in the not too distant future.
Brendon Deere.
