Can't see the signatures anywhere, is that a Singer?

Yes, this guy just took delivery of his new Singer and brought it to the meet 👍

Lancaster Bomber front end from WW2. This particular plane has completed 30 bombings. The ice cream depicts trips to Italy. The red depicts Belgium and the rest are for German raids I believe.

Edit: the pilot was an austrialian hence the kangaroo, the bagpipes are due to a Scottish lead engineer. Even in times of war, 1940s banter was decent!

FANTASTIC. Was just something about the interior design that tipped me off without the signatures visible.
