Good story. On a related note: when the Smithsonian was restoring its Nakajima Gekko they found Japanese graffiti inside some of the fuselage skinning. Rather than just write their names the Japanese factory workers seem to have gone a little further than the ladies of Cardiff. Some of the graffiti took the form of patriotic exhortations for the future crew, but it also included some comments on the attributes (for want of a better word) of one of the female workers at the factory.
