Richard Thompson

This web page is greatly enhanced by the extraordinary talents of Richard Thompson. I first became aware of his work when Air & Space ran a series of articles by Steve Wilkinson on his Falco and they were illustrated by Richard's cartoons. The more I looked at the drawings, the more I loved them. It finally dawned on me that our web page would take on a completely new personality with his work, and I am very grateful for Richard's cooperation and genius.
