A Peterborough-based street artist has created a stunning tribute to the RAF in a new restaurant in Huntingdonshire.

Nathan Murdoch, who works at Street Arts Hire, created a mural featuring soldiers and planes at The Watch Office in Alconbury Weald.

It incorporates a British soldier and a Bristol Blenheim plane, as well as an American soldier and a Boeing B17 Flying Fortress.

The street artist was keen to pay tribute to both British and American soldiers who were stationed at RAF Alconbury. The Watch Office sits on the site of the former airfield at RAF Alconbury.

The piece took Nathan three days to create, but he said it is his "favourite piece" that he has produced for a while.

Previously, Nathan has worked in several RAF bases across Cambridgeshire, including at RAF Upwood and RAF Connington. 

Talking to Peterborough Matters about his latest creation, Nathan said: "It was an emotional story to tell, and I’ve captured a story from a time ago that will stay on these walls nearly 100 years later.

"The soldiers I created are fictional, but they represent a group of people who were here.

"People that visit The Watch Office will be able to relate somehow to the mural on the wall, whether it’s through family members or their own experience with war."

He added that the piece will "unlock memories and create new conversations".

Nathan's design process was captured by Kieran Steels, the creative director at Steels Visuals Media. You can watch the process below in a video created by Kieran.

In the future, Nathan said he hopes to create more war murals which incorporate people from all walks of life.

He said he would be keen to portray women and people of colour throughout the war.
