Default War art, WWII

On the antiques roadshow broadcast on Sunday 8th January, somebody brought a sketch depicting a WWII wireless operator. I wonder if anyone saw this and managed to record, screen capture. I can't now watch catchup on BBCiplayer as I dumped my TV licence when it went digital.
Does anyone know of other artists showing wireless related wartime activities?
I found a reference to Gladys Reed, who made some wonderful sketches:

I find these more evocative than photographs.
My interest being that my mother was an OWL, in the ATS (Operator Wireless and Line).
