Entering the Labyrinth
(This page is under construction)
Entering the Labyrinth is not just a painting—it’s a powerful homage to two iconic Avro Lancaster bombers and the historic aviators who gave them life. Created by celebrated artist Ron Suchiu, this piece was commissioned to support the restoration efforts of a devoted group of aviation historians and restoration experts in Ontario. It captures the heroic spirit of the past while honoring the craftsmanship and passion of those preserving Canada’s rich aviation legacy.
The lower Lancaster in the painting is The Ruhr Express, the first Canadian-built Lancaster to cross the Atlantic into war service. Piloted by the legendary Lieutenant-General Reg Lane—one of Canada’s most decorated WWII bomber pilots—this aircraft flew over 100 daring missions. Above it soars Windsor’s FM212, a post-war mapping aircraft currently under restoration. Its powerful presence, even stripped of turrets and scarred by decades of corrosion, stands as a symbol of resilience.
This artwork has deeply moved many, including one former Lancaster pilot who insisted it be hung in his room during his final days. Suchiu’s detailed brushwork and emotional storytelling bring history to life, creating not just a print, but a piece of Canada’s soul for your wall.
