Welcome to the Australian Society of Aviation Artists

WELCOME to the ASAA gallery of Brian Evans. After an early start drawing when he perhaps should have attended to school work Brian eventually became a self-taught watercolourist, joining the Society in 1992. Since that time he has retired and works on commissions, apart from fulfilling taxing roles in the Society over the years as President, Secretary and Editor of the newsletter. Select examples of Brian's artwork from the list at left, below.

ROARING ACROSS SOUTHAMPTON WATERS
Watercolour size 460mm x 360mm
As the most reliable and capacious long-range aircraft of their day, these Clippers were widely used by wartime leaders, particularly Churchill, who made several transatlantic journeys in both Pan American and BOAC aircraft. BOAC's three 314's were returned to the USA in 1947, having made 596 Atlantic crossings, flown some 6.9 million km and carried 40,042 passengers. "Bristol" was sold to a clergyman who called himself Master X and claimed he would use the aircraft to fly to the Soviet Union for Cold War peace talks with Stalin. Unfortunately Bristol sank at her moorings in Baltimore Harbour during a storm and was scrapped. By 1951 all Boeing 12 314's that were produced suffered a similar fate - sunk or scrapped!
