Thank you Chris, that is exactly the one, it's in the EDSG/White scheme that was unpopular for Beaufighters, has the early flat tailplane and dark exhaust rings on the cowlings. Now the only thing to figure out is whether it carried full squadron codes or just the Q - I think the order to remove the squadron letters didn't come out until 16th October so it should be the full set.
