The return to base in England after combat over distant enemy territory was always exhilarating, and the pilots often hedgehopped gleefully over towns and villages on their way home after crossing the English coast. Nicolas Trudgian's new painting depicts such a scene, with P-51 Mustangs of the 357the Fighter Group racing over a typical English village as they head for Leiston and home. As the evening light fades, the peace and tranquility of the snowy village, broken momentarily by the roar of Merlin engines, seems to bid the returning fighter boys a warm winter's welcome.
