Description
My depiction of Avro Lancaster W5005, AR-L for Leader of 460 Squadron RAAF as it appeared at the end of September 1943 when it carried 30 operations in the bomb tally on its nose. The aircraft was notable for its nose art of a kangaroo in Wellington boots playing bagpipes, by Vic Watts - a reflection of the tri-national nature of the crew that commissioned it.
My piece was commissioned for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight whose Lancaster PA474 is being repainted to depict W5005 on its port side.
