The rudder profile and undercarriage doors make it represent a Mk.IIA in the colors of No. 42 Sqn RAF. The original DD931 served with No. 5 (Middle East) Training Sqn and No. 39 Sqn based at Malta. An air launched 18-inch Mk.XII torpedo lies under the aircraft. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
