I am pretty certain but not 100% that this is ..

Swordfish l L2817 T4F 767 Sdn, Kalafrana Malta

the T4F again not 100% certain relates to the Squadron and aircraft (this is FAA code )
think the I is actually an F with part of the F hidden by poor pic, when I am 100% I will post again.

Indeed Faenor

As far as I can judge 84 Sq received a rather substantial batch, L1378 to 1393, but to state which one is far more difficult....

Those which are abvious are L1379, L1391, L1392 and possibly L1390

Cheers

Since the aircraft obviously came down on Sicily during some offensive attack, I would say it shows an aircraft from 830 Sq, which continued to use 767 Sq codes after it was formed from said unit on 1 July 1940.
I don't think it is L2817 since that aircraft was re-coded T4R (according to Air Britains FAA 1939-45 book), but how certain that statement is I don't know. Said book has no fate for L2817, so....
