Keep uploading, you'll eventually find a mod to accept it.
Given the name it might have been viewed as a backdoor hom0ph0bic attack.

Was named after one of the crew's mum.
B29 fact for you: The russians reverse engineered samples that had landed there as they had nothing remotely that good, and they made 100s of their own.

It was named after Tibbet`s mum - Enola Gay Tibbets.

It was also part of the squad that took part in the second Atomic attack on Kokura, which was the Primary target until switched to the secondary target Nagasaki due to bad weather.

Wonder what his poor mum thought about a plane named after her dropping an Atomic bomb on Hiroshima and vaporising over 100,000 people.

Nowadays they would get away with calling a bomb "Fat Man". It's body shaming of nuclear devices isn't it Surprised.
Perhaps Explodey McExplodey face would win popular support.

The BBC banned OMDs Enola Gay being played on Swap Shop as they thought it contained some gay coded message.

You learn something new most days on here.
Welsh Republican tricolour, never knew it existed.
Google showed 2 Richie one with and one without a black star.
Are both used?

The movement was before my time but I think it should show the obvious colours with either a black star or the separatist white eagle on the right hand side.
