Thanks for that link G..... how did you guess that I like aviation art?!! I'll probably spend hours now perusing that forum!!
Having said I'd call it Black Beauty I'm being contrary and going to call it Nero...a name that suddenly popped into my head as I drove back from Blenheim on Sunday.
Well, as long as you didn't go from Black Beauty to Caligula!!

Mind you, I can't say a lot, mine's called Rupert- because he is the same colour red as the bear's jacket!

By the way, re aviation paintings- try this one:
