He crashed his DeHavilland Mosquito in my grandfather’s scrapyard.Too bad for the family scrap business as the Mosquito was made out of spruce and plywood!

The Ohka pilots were referred to as The Thunder God Corps.

If the faded writing was not grafiti it could be a warning to ground crews like:
Do not step on wings
Be careful of rocket motors
Be careful of warhead
Aircraft attachment points

.......Kamikaze “Argyle” ...crashed his DeHavilland Mosquito in my grandfather’s scrapyard.....You looked simply smashing on Boxing Day in Uncle Gerry's sox! and now we all know how you got them
BTW, the markings translate to (1) "Keep Dirty Side Down, Painted Side Up." (2) Port = Reft, Starboard = Light.
