A bit of modern nose and aircraft art
Bit cheeky but apparently painted this way due to muslim belief of seeing naked women . That is what it said anyway

It's just a shadow silly ... the woman/women is/are standing out of view

[aj.lec]

I bet there would be a lot of people that would like to meet the woman that throws a shadow like that

I linked to an image already on my site rather than uploading.

Will try uploading to see the difference.

Hi Karmen

Great site.

Mind if I add a bit of "Canadian Content"?

http://www.rcaf.com/6group/noseart.html

Just click on each Sqn listed. 6 Gp was a Bomber Command Group in WW2 that was predominantly Cdn.


From that site. The first Canadian built Lancaster "Ruhr Express".

regards
Darrell

Love the Canadian content ... pretty relevant to MLU hey?
And bummer ... I visited that site before, and just did again through
your links hoping to find the WANKY WONDER ... but still no such luck
The Wanky Wonder was a plane a friends Dad flew in WW2 ... he was with
the Snowy Owls and son and Dad were looking for pics

BTW ... the last image you posted shows up as a little box with a red X in it so not viewable FYI

Great web-site Darrell, thanks for posting a link to it. I thoroughly enjoyed scrolling through the pics and enjoyed seeing a Merlin engined Halifax, POISON from 434 Squadron. Most people think of the Halifax as a purely radial engined aircraft as most were built with the Bristol Hercules engine. Just as most associate the Lancaster with the Merlin V12 engine, a few, about 300 were built with radial engines. Derek.
