We are looking to get the new BBMF lanc, but we need to find some clearer images of the new nose art, ‘Phantom of the Ruhr’

does anyone have any clear, colour images of this?

Best one I've got I'm afraid, but it shows a little bit more detail on the lettering. Looks to me like they were hand painted in a stylised 'ghoulish' font.

Note the mustard yellow gas detection patch, which had a dull red circle border around it and appeared both sides of the nose.

Also, some of the bomb mission markings look like they may be ice-cream cones which on many sqns indicated a trip to Italy ...

This pic was taken in 1944 when EE139 was part of 550 sqn (formed from 100 sqn when she was HW-R) as BQ-B. I suspect the BBMF may do PA474 as BQ-B as have they not already had HW-A (ND458) "Abel Mabel"?

As for colours - who knows? I wonder how the BBMF research these ...

She'll be HW-R on the port side and BQ-B on the starboard I believe.

Will this be a repaint for one of the commercially available packages, and if so, will it be for the good one?

it will be for which ever is requested
