As the title says, in this thread I'll post pictures of RAAF aircraft or RAF aircraft with Australian themed nose art from WWII. While not as elaborate as most American nose art, some are pretty damn cool enjoy..

Lancaster JB607, 460 sqn RAAF.

Of course . I'm sure you know how much I enjoy these Australian WW2 kites.

BTW.. Have you seen anywhere a decent pic of an Vengeance with an art of two dogs applied on the port side?
