Jason in the YAM workshop - a photo on Flickriver

            Jason is a replica of Amy Johnson's famous DH Gypsy Moth biplane that is being built in the workshops of the Yorkshire Air Museum. 

The real aircraft was used by local avaition heroine Amy Johnson, she was born in Hull in 1903, in 1930 when she became the first woman to fly from England to Australia. She went on to make a number of significant long distance, record breaking, flights but World War 2 put an end to that. She became a Air transport Auxillary pilot, ferrying many types of aircraft for the military, but was lost over the Thames Estuary in January 1941. The circumstances of her loss remain shrouded in mystery.

The drawing took about an hour and three quarters, using a Pentel P203 0.3mm pencil, and is based on a photograph. I cheated a little bit by using a straight edge to rule the bracing wires in the foreground but by the time I was drawing them it was close to eleven pm.
