Not quite British
On one of the posters on display at Gatwick was the impressive image of a Rothman’s logo embellishing the underbelly of a wide bodied jet. Pretty impressive stuff – but not as impressive as the embedded artwork in the bottom left hand corner. Regrettably it is obscured in the photograph on the right as the author’s finger appeared in front of the lens.
Fortunately, the same ad also appeared in flight magazines around the world. One of these ads is depicted in the illustration shown on the left. The inset image on the right is the figure of interest (actual size as in the magazine ad). Geographers will note the distortion produced to the north east of England and the large ‘chunk’ bitten out of north Wales.
This apparent reflection of the southern half of Britain on the body of the aircraft can also be perceived as Col. Saunders lookalike, with a faint but nevertheless notable, cigarette/phallic shape entering his mouth. Or it could be smoke being blown out. Take your pick.
The ‘chunk’ missing from North Wales produces ‘Colonel Saunders’ eye. Whether what the Colonel is ingesting is intended to be perceived as an extremely large cigarette, a straw, a cigar or whatever, I will leave to the imagination of the viewer. Their judgement might, however, be biased by the other, sexually oriented, cigarette ads discussed on various other pages of the Subliminal World site
