RAF Buffalo question

Does anyone have a good photo or photos of the armor plating behind the pilot seat on RAF Buffalos in Singapore?
I read that the seat armor was added from local sources.
Thanks in advance.

Re: RAF Buffalo question

Hi Rick. Not a photo but couldn't find a close-up. I believe fitted in Singapore possibly at the big Naval dockyard there. Note at bottom says added 8 Dec.41. Also cutaway before plate added, standard seat-headrest,
