"Upkeep" Lancaster with nose art – anyone know any more?

From the Daily Excess – if the photo isn’t immediately apparent, it’s the 16th of 23.

There aren’t that many photos of Upkeep Lancasters about, and I’ve never seen this one.

Thank you, Baz, even after nearly 16 years the information you can find through this forum astounds me!

Its Joe Mccarthy’s Lancaster ED915.
This is the final nose artwork, the photo shows artwork unfinished. His Lancaster went U/S on starting (for Chastise) and he took ED825 instead.[ATTACH=CONFIG]242626[/ATTACH]
