What is the nose art on the B-17 at Hendon UK?

The only two that I know of are Sally B & Mary Alice...

The one in the Hendon museum, s/n 44-83868 (ex N5237V) is, I believe, unmarked.

Unless it has changed since my last visit - unmarked by nose art. One of the docnets indicated it was painted "as delivered", or maybe he meant as one of those "might have been delivered", from the factory.

Probably,he meant "As delivered to the museum".This B-17 was Tanker 65 when I flew it for TBM Inc./Butler Aircraft.It was returned to as close to military specs as possible by TBM and painted prior to the ferry flight to England.

Air Vice Marshal Ron Dick, TBM's Director of Maintenance Kenny Stubbs,and a navigator from the RAF ferried the airplane over in the early 80"s.I flew its last tanker season in 1982 on a CDF contract out of Porterville.
