I have to report that despite several sorties to the loft, Mrs Smudge has failed to locate my "memories"! I'm working myself up to going up the ladder myself, although it risks holes in the ceiling if I do. In the meantime I came across this:
Now, I know for sure that somewhere I have one with "Life's a Beach" on it (Garfield). Anyone else have any GW1 nose art ? I seem to remember the OC Eng, at Lyneham, was not too keen on the aircraft arriving back with the applied finish, but the crews and the ground crews all had a laugh with it.
Someone must have some pics ? I have a little story re OC Eng Wings (Lyneham) and GE "stupidity", perhaps best saved for a later date. Come on chaps, GW1 nose art is a good subject, and who was the bloke who painted them, rumour at the time in Riyadh had it that it was a propulsion mech. There's stories there indeed.
