458 FLIGHT Bristol Helicopter over the Coast. MICHAEL H. WEBBER Venoms of No. 8 Squadron, Arabia DREW The Painted Sky LONDON'S Guildhall has once again opened its doors to the' fourth annual exhibition of the Society of Aviation Artists. With its range wider than ever this year's offering is full of interestand diversion. There is a strong movement away from factual technical statement and with the gentler sex taking a greater partin this hitherto mainly masculine field one is never quite sure where a landing will be made. The approaches are certainly varied—even from outer space,with long streamers of charged solar particles, as in No. 15, by W. Howard Jarvis, attractive in its vast blue-green emptiness; orby contrast there is Pamela Drew's Venoms of No. 8 Squadron in almost a brown monochrome with overpoweringly strong fluidlines—reminiscent of Van Gogh—subduing the aircraft to furtive shapes as they slide over the hostile terrain. Or again, BristolHelicopter over the Coast, by Michael Webber; pleasing in colour, it is frankly Impressionist, contrasting well with the work ofFrank Wootton, whose sure touch paints in a Canberra sleekly against a snow-covered background; and Comet in the Sun(Beresford M. Johnson) holds more than a hint of the Flemish masters. Trans-Air Building, by Deborah Jones, is bright and full ofpainterly qualities; one has an impression of Cuneo here. Very attractive colouring marks The Passing Storm, by C. J. Hugill, The Passing Storm C. J. HUGILL Visualized Trajectories of Charged Solar Particles, Interstellar Debris, and Flying Saucers W. HOWARD JARVIS "Trans-Air" Building, Gatwick DEBORAH JONES
