Photos Royal Aircraft Factory Aircraft

Thanks Stig.
What I noticed was the serial location, this batch was Wolseley-built with their own style ie. on rudder and fuselage as you pointed out; if you look at the fin it seems to have been either re-painted or replaced altogether ( doesn't line-up).
The "AIR HISTORY" site certainly links F929 with the inscription. It must have been a quite new machine in Clint's photo.......

Still don't know what to do with that photo Nick

It is really puzzling and I also looked into an old C & C publication from 1983 where they listed this gift machine as unknown, which is odd considering what Clint has found is a post card.

It just doesn't feel correct.
Oh well, no big deal....

Cheers
Stig

PS: I notice the photo is published in the book Gifts of War and listed as "confirmed" as F929. Still don't like it....

From the Australian War Memorial site a photo of F927 bearing markings with the usual serial locations for this batch (as I now know!):
