Tiling with a message on the airwaves.

A little while ago, via Facebook, the airline, KLM, offered people the opportunity to design a tile, in the style of the Delft potteries, to be placed on one of their aircraft. For the fun of it, and because I had a short message to send out to the world, I had a go.
The tile is shown here and this link will take you to the site where you can see it being placed on the aircraft's skin.
And my message, in case you can't read it? 'Money, like knowledge, is best spread evenly.'

Stuart's Daily Word Spot: Nacelle

Nacelle: noun - the basket of a balloon or car of an airship; streamlined bulge on an aircraft holding an engine; similarly shaped part of a motor vehicle.

‘Gloria gasped in horror as she watched the nacelle of the hot air balloon catch fire and set alight the canopy until the whole flying device was a falling ball of flame.’

‘Customising his SUV, Gordon covered the front end with multiple nacelles until it looked as if the vehicle had a bad dose of boils.’
