Hi there,

Would anyone here happen to know the squadron code letter that was worn on Fairey Firefly Mk. 1 DT979 of of No. 1772 Naval Air Squadron, from HMS Indefatigable, when it was lost in action over Japan on the 10th of August 1945, with Sub Lt (A) Thomas Chalmers Glen McBride RNZNVR as the Observer? He was the last New Zealander killed in air operations in WWII.

Also was the squadron painting the letters on the fuselage or the tailfin at that time?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
