Description
The nose of Lancaster bomber aircraft B-Beer (not B Baker as might be expected from the post-Second World War phonetic alphabet used by Australian military personnel) displaying the nose art. A kookaburra sits on a beer barrel dripping beer into mugs and glasses with straws, the words 'jackass juice' beside it. The 15 glasses represent the number of missions flown by the aircraft.
