Friday the 13th

The most famous Halifax has to be Friday the 13th LV907. She was a mark 3  that flew with 158 squadron from March 1944.
 
In March 1945 she was retired with 128 mission tally. She was put on display with other aircraft outside Selfridges in Oxford Street London. At the end of the war the nose art was clipped out and the aircraft scrapped. The nose art is on display at RAF museum Hendon. The Halifax at  Yorkshire Air Museum, Elvington, is painted on the RHS as Friday the 13th.
 
The panel is an accurate scale reproduction of the full nose  (from Former 1 to 6) and is 75 cm long x 55 cm high.  It is made from 2 main pieces of aluminium sheet with several aluminium details added. Panels use flat head rivets and have perspex window panes - all as on the original Mk 3 aircraft
