This nose art has been painted on the starboard side of the museum's Lancaster cockpit section replica by Clarence Simonsen. The original work was done in 1945 on No. 424 (Tiger) Squadron Lancaster QB-L (NG484) by Matthew Ferguson of Calgary, Alberta.

Both "Willie the Wolf From The West" and "Ol Daid Eye" are among fourteen panels of Halifax nose art that were cut from RCAF aircraft that were about to be scrapped following the war. They are currently on display at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.

42-3273 B17-F ( Impatient Virgin )

 

Initially assigned to the 100th BG at Dow Field (18/4/43), this aircraft was transferred to the

412th BS 95th BG Horham 15/6/43.

It suffered a forced landing at St Eval, when returning from St Nazaire 28/6/43.

Later it crash landed at Great Ashfield (16/9/43 ), returning from La Pallice.

When returning from Munster, it crash landed at Potter Heigham, Norfolk, 22/12/43 and was beyond

Economic repair.

All crew returned to duty.

 

"Johnny Walker" was painted on Lancaster W-4964, WS-J of No. 9 Squadron, Royal Air Force. The aircraft had a distinguished career, logging a total of 106 operations. Likely the most detailed piece of work of the war, it features the Johnny Walker whiskey symbol with the firm's equally famous motto, "Still Going Strong." The artwork includes the ribbons from four DFM's and two DFCs that were awarded to her aircrew. The chevron indicates a year's service on active duty. Below are three wound stripes, one for a container of fifty, four pound incendiary bombs that were dropped from above and passed through the aircraft's wing.

 

The crew decided that "their" bomber needed a name and nose art painting. At first they named her "Wee Lady Orchid" for each of the code letters. Later they dropped the "Wee" and she became "Lady Orchid." The painting of the Lady Godiva pin-up riding a bomb included two western style six shooters to reflect Jenkins' Calgary connection. F/O Jenkins flew a total of fifteen operations, five in Lady Orchid. Under his pilot's position he painted fifteen white bombs and one red bomb for an aborted operation.

 

"Strange Cargo" was a B-29A ^s/_n 44-27300 assigned to the 509^th Composite Group (VH), 393^rd Bomb Squadron at North Field, Tinian from May 1945 until October 1945. .
