BSA SUPERMARINE TRIUMPH SPITFIRE AVIATION AIRCRAFT BLANK BIRTHDAY GREETINGS CARD BY ARTIST Lee Lacey GAvA
The idea for this piece came from the film "The Battle of Britain", released in 1969 and the fact that at the time there were aircraft, motorcycles and cars all bearing the name. The Triumph Spitfire had been released in 1962, with the Mk.III shown here being new for 1967. BSA's Spitfire was produced from 1966 until 1968, and was one of the fastest production motorcycles of the era. The Supermarine Spitfire AI-A is in reality the Mk.IX MH434 which was modified for the film to resemble a Mk.I and became the mount of Robert Shaw's character in the film
The pub, "The Jackdaw Inn" is still used as such and is in Denton, Kent. In the film Christopher Plummer meets Susannah York there and they are shown walking out of the pub.This painting is one of pure indulgence for the artist, as Lee is a great lover of the film and as such anyone with a love of classic cars, aircraft, motorcycles or the film should enjoy it too.
