Wilfred 'Wilf' Hardy (7 July 1938 – 4 September 2016)[1][2] was a British artist and illustrator who contributed many painted pages to Treasure, Look and Learn, Eagle and Speed and Power magazines. He also produced work for the Royal International Air Tattoo. He specialised in painting aircraft, producing posters and private commissions. Early lifeHe was born in Brentford in Middlesex (West London). Aviation workFrom the 1970s to the 2000s Hardy produced work for the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT). He began his association with RIAT in 1976, when the airshow was known as the International Air Tattoo (IAT),[3] by producing an advertisement poster featuring a hovering Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.1.[2] His next five editions included aircraft such as the Panavia Tornado GR.1, Lockheed Hercules and Hawker Siddeley Nimrod.[2] For the 1983 edition, he helped create a design that would become common place for many years to come – he had the aircraft travel straight towards the viewer.[3] Over time this design was refined further with more aircraft being included and with the medium of a poster primarily changing to that of a programme,[3] this design can easily been seen in the 1994 and 1996 editions.[2] In 1979, he specially designed the paint scheme for a Royal Air Force McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.2 (XV424), and its backup (XV486), which was to re-enact the Transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown for the 60th anniversary of the crossing.[4] Hardy also produced work for the Royal Air Force yearbooks.[3][5] Personal lifeHe lived in Kent. He married Barbara Woolstencroft in 1960 in Kent. They had three sons (born 1961, 1963 and 1965).
