But then I remembered how nice the RAF roundell looked, so I made this:
Both work well, I think, but for different reasons... Which do you think looks better? I'm thinking the UJ version, while exactly what I was after, is a bit "busy" visually compared to the roundell.....

Nice idea, ive always liked WWII nose art.
Would this be printed on Vynal or airbrushed?

First one.

I'm going to go with printed vinyl - my budget won't cover airbrushing. The stuff they use to wrap cars is rated at 5 years - I figure in that time I'll probably be ready for a change anyway.

Have you designed this yourself, if so what sofware did you use?

Dafont has a ton of downloadable .TTF and Mac fonts, all of which are free for personal use.
I built the graphic myself using Paint Shop Pro 7 (yes I know it's old, but I know the app and it still does a good job... plus I can't afford Photoshop). The original image was very small, so I resized it to 600% using Genuine Fractals, a plugin for Photoshop (which also works in Paint Shop). The extreme upsizing caused the image to "stipple" and create an effect sort of like stained glass, which I modified with Softening tools and some other tricks I've picked up over the years....
I wanted "Fiona" to be a redhead (of course) so I tinted her hair red and changed the color of her hair bows to blue (the original had brown hair and red bows).
I'm in Ohio, USA, yes...

The font used for the lettering is "Forelle", and the accent beneath is is a modified "Marcelle Swatch":
