1ANS Meteor NF(T)14 Nose Art
We are restoring Meteor WS788 at Elvington, and were recently passed this picture of 788.
http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...pstrdhskxl.jpg On closer inspection it showed that our jet had nose art! http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...psiurfko67.jpg And according to the notes on the back was named Dixey. http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...pstvakmbxg.jpg Can anyone shed any more light on the nose art? As we are looking to reinstate the nose art on 788 once she is restored. |
Talking about the dayglo panel or the smudge to the right of it?
|
The smudge, not the dayglo bars. It's a figure of some sort...
|
Just guessing but from the size of the head and the elbow stuck out, it could be Plt Off Prune himself!!
|
Just wondering if this image could actually be a 'zap' from another unit rather than an image of 'Dixey'?
Wasn't the lovely Daisy Duke's Jeep nicknamed 'Dixie? ;) |
Pixie and Dixie were two cartoon mice who used to bug a cat called Mr Jinx in a Hanna-Barbera cartoon way back when if it helps.....
|
chevvron,
That's a good thought - it could be PO Prune. I thought it might be Betty Boop or a look-alike. |
We were considering the Pixie and Dixie link, given 744 was similarly adorned. Hopefully someone will have a clear pic which answers the question for sure...
|
Any more thoughts? On rubbing down the section of nose where the artwork should be, sadly there was no sign of it.
|
I worked there in the early 60's. I have a vague recollection of a 'Yogi Bear' on one a/c. It was in ' scotch calī.
