My photo shows a bigger port side fuselage roundel so, I doubt 'my' FY-B would be the correct one anyway.........

It is probably EN133, featured in several publicity photos taken when No. 611 converted to Mk IXs. Although EN133 FY-B was lost over France (S/Ldr J.H. Slater killed, Rodeo 188 on 14 March 1943), it is definitely not the aeroplane in the photo we are discussing here.
