A very interesting photo as this British Navy Dragonfly carries an RCAF squadron code PX. That is the code for the CEPE - Central Experimental and Proving Establishment. The polar bear badge is for the Climatic Detachment of the CEPE. This Dragonfly arrived at Namao, the base of the Climatic Detachment on 22-Sep-1953. It arrived back in the UK 14-May-1954. DND photo.
