P.1121 illustration

[viejo]

Searching for a coloured illustration of P.1121 in flight, published originally in RAF Yearbook 1976, to try to ascertain the artist's name, or even to purchase a spare copy of this magazine. The publishers do not hold copies before 1983 despite several searches.

Can anyone kindly help in this?

You mean this?

Its cropped from the painting which has both TSR2 and P.1121 in it.


Why did you want a copy? I am researching the P.1121 for a book, so I have a lot of material.

I have that as my wallpaper - it has the name Hardy on it.

Could possibly be David A. Hardy, though he is more famous for space art.

I'm not sure that it is him though.

My guess is Wilfred Hardy:

I do believe you have hit the nail on the head there -certainly does look like you have the culprit there

It is Wilf Hardy, his name is in the geology in the foreground.

BTW Hardy is a major influence on and hero of Tim O'Brien, who has done the recent Secret Projects covers for Midland.
