In 1977, to "repay his debt" to the Royal Air Force, David Shepherd painted a picture of a Lancaster bomber at dispersal, titling it "Winter of '43 - Somewhere in England". He donated 850 prints, all signed and numbered, of this painting to the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, and the prints raised 96,000 pounds for the institution.  £100-200
