Thanks for that- the known Greek names painted on the nose were:

XV 182 - 70 Sqn `Hector' Nov 70

XV183 – 70 Sqn. ‘H………’ NOV.71

XV 192 - 70 Sqn `Horatius' Nov 70

XV 211 - 70 Sqn `Homer' Nov 70

XV 294 - 70 Sqn `Hephaestos', March 72

XV 299 - 70 Sqn `Homer' Apr 72

XV 305 - 70 Sqn `Hyperion' 11/70

Anyone know what XV183 was?
