Here's a look at an RCAF Mk 1. This was the first Argus aircraft flown by 415 Squadron upon re-formation in 1961 at RCAF Station Summerside, PEI. Not doing much profile work these days...busy at the office...but I'll be back!

10738

This one is a VP415 machine. Not quite as clean as the 407 machine below...but still loveable...right??? This depicts 738 as I saw her at an airshow in the late 1970's at CFB Summerside while serving with the Swordfish Squadron. She retired out of Summerside in 1981.
I hope you like her.

Back in action!

Well, I finally have my new machine back from the shop (I needed 4Gb more RAM!) and I'm ready to create.
Here's one of 2 prints I have made for my new friend, Tom Hildreth. Thanks to Tom, I have been able to make accurate vector graphics of the 415 Sydney Swordfish, the 407 Sqn Winged Trident, and the 14 Wing Eagle diving motif.
Here's 10721 from VP407, Comox, British Columbia. They really kept their machines clean...according to Pte Dan McIsaac at least! LOL
