SteveB is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: eBay: Allied intrest

The Air Britain book "Gifts of War" records "West Godavari" as a presentation name to be applied to an aircraft of 234 (Madras Presidency) Sqn using codes 'AZ' but the serial is unknown. It would seem most likely that the code letters are either 'QV' for 19 Sqn or, depending on the date of the incident, 'QJ' of 616Sqn.

I notice that the canopy appears to have the large bulge on the side used on aircraft carrying out "Jim Crow" patrols.
