The artwork of Saddam Hussein on the side of Jaguar XZ364.

Long shot this, but last I heard I think he was cut out and put up on a wall at Coltishall, but I'm assuming he's long gone from there. Curious if anyone here would know?

(I can't post image URLs yet, should get there sometime around 2035 at my posting rate).

Looks like it has been sold. Can't get the price displayed.

Aircraft picture. Slightly different.

Thanks. I'd seen that listing, but it's some sort of reproduction on a Nimrod panel.

Found something else suggesting the one in the Mess was a reproduction anyway and that they were all painted over. That's that then.

Lovely photo; there’s something very punchy about the desert pink colour scheme when it gets dirty and faded!

With the painting being on a number of panels you would probably have had to cut the whole nose off.
