Anybody have any PHOTOs of any tongue in cheek roof top artwork?

I'm sure there'll be people who (kindly) reply with ones they know of, but I'm looking for actual photos. There's one I over flew recently in N Wales, just to the west of the southern tip of Bala lake with P:mad:SS OFF BIGGLES! I didn't have a camera with me and I'd love a photo of it. Before anyone mentions it, although the message is the same, I'm pretty sure it isn't this particular one:

as the orientation of the buildings and land seems to be different (although I could be wrong).

Photo's would be much appreciated!

Cheers

That is indeed the one and only 'P:mad: ss off Biggles' that I know of in Wales, and it is indeed NNW of the SW end of Bala. I'd hate to think that in all the interminable hours droning around LL in Wales doing the crossword in the back, only joking honest, that I missed another.

The farmer has however added a very nice blue double decker bus with the phrase painted on the roof in yellow. Mainly I think because the barn is so rusty now that you'd struggle to spot it if you didn't know where to look.

Similar oddities that brighten a QFIs day in LFA 7 include Philippa Lawrences' Trees. The first time I saw a bright red tree in the middle of a field I figured I'd spent too long in the Sandy the night before.....

Anyone got the full set yet?

artyhug,

cheers for confirming my suspisions. Yeah it was really rusty and has far more trees surrounding it now. Hopefully you can point out a few more points of interest if I'm lucky enough to sit in your front seat one day, although my eyes will have to move a lot quicker than in the little white plastic airfix kits we buzz around in at the moment!
