Hi colour profile in Warpaint series No.1 has this a/c as T9068. with angled tail unit. But again photo shows flat tail unit.
Caption for same photo in Jerry Scutts book has it as T5043 of 252 Sqdn.
Have looked at this with magnifying glass and can make out the "T" and a "5" and a "4" also could be the other two numbers but not very clear.
