A Lancaster of No. 463 Squadron RAAF with nose art displaying a wartime variation of the 'flying kangaroo'. The bombs painted under the cockpit indicate that this aircraft had flown forty-six operations against enemy targets, and the ribbons painted above the operations indicate two Distinguished Flying Cross medals had been awarded to its pilots. The Lancaster nose art which decorated nearly all RAAF heavy bombers was painted by squadron ground staff at RAF Waddington. [AWM P04136.005]
