Re: Trainbusting

I'll let Juha answer that, but I agree with him. However it might be a Mk.1c after refit.

The upperwing roundels are odd, though. The wide white rings suggest a early-war A roundel, which should not have been on the upper surfaces. If we assume that it is really a thin-ring C roundel, that would date the photo to 1945. Given that most similar Beau photos come from the Balkans in 1945, doubt must be passed on the date and place of the photo.

However, if they are right, then that's an interesting example of non-standard markings.
