John Skelly

In my father's RAF Log Book there is a photo of a young man in the cockpit of an aircraft. On the back Dad had written "John Skelly 'Dan-a-Meenit'
which might refer to the cartoon painted beneath him on the fusilage...?

The photo was taken at RAF Feltwell in 1940.
Someone has told me that Skelly is a Manx name...?
Any help - much appreciated.
