Pretty sure the spec's do not call for a post July 1943 insignia to be on top of the right wing.

It's Australia. Everything there is either upside down or backwards.

I had a friend who visited Australia once, and when he came back, of course the first thing I asked him was if the water really swirled down the drain backwards.

"Yes," he said, "but that not the weirdest thing. All the light switches are upside down--you flip the switch down to turn on the lights!"

(BTW, the picture appears to be flipped. Look carefully at the car.)

So, the pic is flipped, but the EXIT sign by the door is correct?


I'll take two of whatever Snake's having...

Interesting. Didn't see that. You win.

Maybe this is one of those "Find Six Things Wrong with This Picture" games.

Don't they drive on the left side of the road in Australia?

I'm pretty sure complaining about paint schemes & proper specs is an established WIX forum no-no. I wondering why the moderator has not deleted this thread yet.

I thought it was the main reason for WIX's existence.

(And who "complained" about it? This could be seen as an inquiry as to whether it's a legit oddball scheme. My own initial interpretation was that the photo had been reversed.)
