Re: Halifax help needed

Working backwards, it definitely is not the solitary Series 2, and the date would be about 18 months early for a Mk.II Ser.1a. It is about six months too early for the Z fairing or Tollerton nose, so won't have been a Series 1 Special. The aircraft will be a Mk.II Series 1 with forward and dorsal turrets, as delivered, and a near sister of 405 Sq. is photographed in Merrick's Halifax book. Excuse the odd progression but that's how I came across the info!

It is perhaps too early for the other drag reduction modifications too, so it probably would represent a Halifax at its very worst state.
