Best I could do for NZ:
de Havilland factory at Rongotai, NZ. (from WoNZ forum).
I assume that the representation at MOTAT (of Rongatai, now-days better known as Wellington Intl) is correct as to font etc for a point in time.

In any case, I’ll look for photos on-site when I visit to see the finished The Captain’s Fancy markings on the Lanc soon.

She was returned to the air after her belly landing.
For clarity, Allan Arthur’s P-40 is a -N.
Thanks, that saved my double-checking, I’ve got it (VH-ZOC) tagged as a P-40N-1-CU
