Oil Painting ‘Noon’

In this oil painting by Emile Antoine Verpilleux, a Royal Flying Corps wireless operator gathers intelligence by listening to messages sent from an aircraft observing the accuracy of a gun battery. On the right, an officer with a megaphone is passing the corrections to the gun’s crew and to the left an officer is marking targets on a map.

This painting is on display in the The First World War in the Air 1914–1918 exhibition in Hangar 2.
