Re: Short Stirling - Nose Art
G'Day Lizard.
Great to hear about your grandfather. Do you know about or have any details / photos on him. If you do, we would certainly appreciate you posting them on the forum. We can assist in posting documents and photos if that is any help. As you will notice on the forum, we have assisted many members in posting details of family members who served in Bomber Command. It's great to have a lasting tribute for what they achieved for us.
Good to hear from you, mate.
Cheers,
John

Here's another piece of nose art. It's EF390 'T for Tommy' of No.7 Squadron in 1943
The photo is scanned from Jonathan Falcolner's book 'Bomber Command Handbook 1939-1945 and is credited to Colin Pateman
