John Henry Batchelor MBE (1936-2019) was an English artist and technical illustrator, particularly known for his clear and detailed cutaway illustrations of vehicles and military equipment and stamp illustrations.[1][2] His work can be seen in many hundreds of late-20th-century works on armour, fighting vehicles, ships (often in conjunction with Antony Preston), firearms and heavy ordnance (for example the many works of Ian V. Hogg), etc.[2] Batchelor's work is particularly sought after by scale model makers for its accuracy. He provided illustrations for many magazines such as Radio Times, TV Times and technical interest publications such as Popular Mechanics, Air & Space, and The Aeroplane.[2]
