This MAY be Spitfire HFIX NH271 "V" no. 73 Sqn. Balkan AF crash-landed from sweep at Sanski Most (Bosnia) Feb. 5 1945; in Yugoslav partisan territory, there was also a British presence there. Based at Canne Italy; F/L R H Ball returned.
I think I see "H27" anyway. 73 used single letters, some had their pre-war fuselage insignia.
