Podplukovník Gustav Lundquist pri Spitfire Mk IX Mk.210 na Blue West 8, Grónsko. Na tomto letisku musel čakať na meškajúci Spitfire, ktorý ho mal sprevádzať pri lete do Anglicka. Prelet sa realizoval z USA za účelom predvedenia doletu tejto modifikácie. V Grónsku využil mechanik Sergeant Petty čas a okrem údržby stroja ozdobil jeho nos touto šteklivou kresbou. Z výrazu slečny a slovíčka "Hello" je zrejmé, že slečna ako budenie telefónom volá RAF, aby sa zobudili vo vzťahu k doletu Spitfire. "Nose art" je to celkom podarený, keby Lundquist nemal na špici lietadla meno Tolly, čo bola prezývka jeho manželky Mary Taliaferro "Tolly" Parrish. Aj preto zrejme nemá Lundquist na tvári úplne najveselší výraz.
