Thanks to John Saville for this photo, that we have cleaned up just a little bit.

We are as sure as we can possibly be that the plane above actually is P Popeye.
The reason is that in this photo above, you can see the missions that it has been on... some are minelaying, some are bombing raids.

Well by sheer fluke we have not only been sent one photo of this plane... but.. TWO!

As you can see, this plane has now done many more operations, but the top row is exactly the same as the plane in the first photo.
