A2 jacket art

[highhope]

Hi all,

Had an A2 jacket which I've used for closed cockpit flying for a number of years - tonight, I decided to put paint to leather and adorn it with some family history.

My great uncle flew Spitfires in Australia during the war and named his aeroplane 'Fifi II' after my grans twin sister, Paula.

Recently we've found some photos of the nose art so I thought I'd give it a go...thought I'd share the results...rather proud of the job

Very cool and how awesome is it that it's not just nose art that you like, but nose art that is family history!

Nicely done - and not overdone. Just perfect! And it has true meaning to you personally and now there's not another jacket like yours anywhere in the world. I love that.
Thanks for posting and sharing!
