Commemorative artwork prepared by illustrator Juanita Franzi of Aero Illustrations. Smaller profiles to the right illustrate the progression of configurations and finishes applied to L7056 prior to its arrival at Patricia Bay. The individual aircraft code - just visible in the image to the right - was either '2' or '3'. We selected '2' for the artwork.
