Arrow Nimrod Nose Art picture required (Maid of Moray)

As title, I'm looking for a picture of XV250's noseart, carried during Gulf War II, "Maid of Moray". I've been through the RAF Kinloss photo section archives, and just about every other publication I can think of, to no avail. To make matters worse, XV250 was repainted earlier this year....

"Why?" I hear you ask? Well, "Maid of Moray" is starring later on this year as one of the decal options in Airfix's forthcoming release of the Mighty Hunter, and a fairly decent picture is needed to make the decal sheet up!

Any help, from any source appreciated!

my email is [email protected]

Thanks again, that one will have a use!!

A plastic Norman, whatever next? I seem to remeber there were a couple of others painted up too (Guernsey's Girl II and "Weakest Link"). Will these be included in the decal sheet?

If you want Guernsey's Girl from 1991, I've got a good one of that.
