This image was taken after 104 missions - the nose art says ‘Still going Strong’ next to Johnnie Walker.

It was a B1 ‘Special’ and its 100th mission was a raid on the ‘Tirpitz’

Two dates for this raid are - Sept 15th 1944 and the 12th Nov 1944 when she was finally sunk - both dates may be correct (for raids) as 9 Sqn took part in both along with 617 Sqn.
