Love Nose Art! Looks like he developed some with the negatives reversed!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Here is a nice shot of a P-38 on the marston matting
It is hand written on the back Turnbull Strip , It was runway built by the US and named after Sqn Ldr Peter Turnbull RAAF

A LOT of Marston mat - or PSP as it was known ( perforated steel planking ) was used for fencing here in Australia after the war ( we had a LOT in storage up in Queensland ) In fact, if you go to farm clearance sales you can STILL get some!!
A place near our family farm used it either side of their gate entrance!!
*** these went for $10 a length *** ( but the job lot was 564 lengths!!! )

Great pics of nose art. Fun to see.
