One such tale belongs to the sleek and elegant LeVier Cosmic Wind G-ARUL Ballerina. This print captures a moment in time when this remarkable aircraft, having faced disappointment in the US racing circuit, found new life and triumph in the skies of the United Kingdom. The year was 1964, and LeVier Cosmic Wind G-ARUL Ballerina, a sleek and agile racer, had failed to make its mark in the US racing scene. With heavy hearts, its handlers made the difficult decision to export the aircraft to the UK, where it was met with a fresh opportunity. Under the skilled piloting of Dennis M. Hartas, LeVier Cosmic Wind G-ARUL Ballerina took to the skies once more, participating in the prestigious Kings Cup Air Race at Shoreham on 1 August 1964.

But LeVier Cosmic Wind G-ARUL Ballerina, with its heart still beating with the determination of its new home, rose to the occasion. The print depicts this triumphant moment, as LeVier Cosmic Wind G-ARUL Ballerina soars through the skies, leaving a trail of dust and determination in its wake. The sun casts a golden glow over the aircraft, highlighting its sleek lines and the unyielding spirit of its pilots and handlers. The crowd below, a sea of cheering spectators, bears witness to this remarkable comeback story. LeVier Cosmic Wind G-ARUL Ballerina's victory at the Kings Cup Air Race was a testament to the power of perseverance and the indomitable spirit of aviation. Its journey from disappointment to triumph serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, there is always a chance for redemption and success.
