Something a little different

[Hagar]

OK chaps, what's this rare bird then? Recently restored & the only example of its kind in the UK, maybe in Europe. (I suspect Charlie & Felix will know.)






Now for something a little different. You've heard of nose-art - well I suppose this is tail-art. Maybe it will start a new trend.

Thats a DHC-2 Beaver right?

Nice tail art!

Cheers Theis

Wrong. Good try but it ain't quite that easy.

[Hyperion2]

It's a 1939 Rearwin Cloudster.

[Hagar]

It's a 1939 Rearwin Cloudster.

Correct. Give that man a coconut.

Not sure I've ever seen one before.

[Hyperion2]

Most pictures of it have wheel covers...the lack thereof made it a little trickier.  lol

[Craig.]

[Felix/FFDS]

Thats a DHC-2 Beaver right?

Nice tail art!

Cheers Theis

No, Theis - G-AZJY is a Cessna of sorts, quite a bit different

[ozzy72]

I lurv that tail art

[Jared]

ah, nose art..

[ATI_7500]

Must be Fozzer's plane.

[Woodlouse2002]

Must be Fozzer's plane.

Nah. She's wearing too much.

[ozzy72]

Nah if her boobs were up by the prop then it'd be Fozzers

[Hagar]

I thought of Foz when I spotted that. Unlike nose-art moving the rudder gives a novel effect.

and the owner's called Melvyn and did the commentary at the Dunsfold show a couple of weeks back...

Not sure I've ever seen one before.

You probably wouldn't have done Doug as its first flight was only a month or two ago (well documented on the FlyPast forums...). Very nice little bird...
