A DALES artist has three prestigious exhibitions of his work to look forward to in 2017. John Hunter's one-man exhibition, at the Station, Richmond, from Saturday, April 1 to Wednesday, April 12, called Planes, Trains and Country Lanes, is the first in his native Swaledale and also the first to display the whole spectrum of his work over the last 15 years.

In July he will be exhibiting as part of the Guild of Aviation Artists show at the Mall, London, and before that he has been given the opportunity of holding a one-man exhibition at the RAF Club, Piccadilly, from May to July. He said: "This is an incredible opportunity for me, as you have to be invited."
