Unfortunately, since the MOD Art Collection exists to preserve its current items rather than to spend scarce cash on acquiring new ones, contemporary peacekeeping activities of the armed Forces are not well represented. It is hoped that in future years the collection might expand to include more images of early 21st century operations. - Global Power
- Dean Fausett
- Painted during the Cold War, Global Power is a dramatic painting which depicts a fleet of B-47 jet bomber flying high above the American continent. This painting was presented to the Royal Air Force by the United States Air Force.
- Sha Tau Kok
- Ken Howard
- This small watercolour shows routine patrols on the Chinese border early in 1977. The work currently hangs in Government House, Sandhurst.
- RAF Venom's over Arabia, 1956
- Pamela Drew
- Aerial reconnaissance is shown here in Pamela Drew's "RAF Venom's over Arabia". It gives a strong sense of the geographical hostility of some of the environments in which our Armed Forces work.
- Ustazi, 1994.
- Peter Howson
- The Gauntlet, 1994.
- Peter Howson
- These chilling images show British troops in Bosnia.They form part of a set of three Howson works in the possession of the MOD Art Collection, and currently hang in a senior Whitehall office.
