Battle of Britain: RAF refuelling bowser
The first bit of the drawing to be finished is the 1940 style three hose fuel pump truck. This would be on the strength of the airfield, in this case Biggin Hill in Kent. Biggin Hill was a key station in the defence of London. It was established in 1917. During the Battle of Britain fighter aircraft were kept refuelled and armed for take at short notice. Drawn with a Staedtler 0.3mm pencil on half a sheet of A4 cartridge paper on a sketchpad.
