halifax lw166 427 sqn RCAF Out Of Leeming

hi guys

im wondering if anybody may have a photograph of LW166 of 427 sqn RCAF. Untill now ive not been able to lay my hands on one. the a/c was only in service a short while before being shot down over france in july 44. im interested because my wife lost her uncle on it when the plane was shot down, he was the flt/eng - sgt w steel RAF.

ive tried all the museums, 427 sqn and the National Military HQ in Canada, but to no avail. im probably not going to find a picture of it , this forum is probably my last chance.

another question i have is would anyone know what nose art was emblazened accross this halifax. 427 was adopted by MGM studios so im presuming the nose art was "hollywood" orientated.

any help would be appreciated

regards

paul
