Hello,

Just a thought: Stirling. The letter combination may be AA, which stands for 75 Squadron.

Regards,
Hans

Re: Unknown RAF Bomber - ID?
Do you have any more information on the photo, I notice that it is titled Halifax. Do you have a location for the photo?

Re: Unknown RAF Bomber - ID?
Unfortunately, no further information. The photo title was just a quick guess, as its obviously a 4 eng RAF Bomber. Naturally, it's from an E-Bay auction.

Re: Unknown RAF Bomber - ID?
For comparison, a guessed Stirling wreck (because of the horizontal aerial under the "F").
