I once saw the very same photograph in a book but it stated it was taken at Duxford.

Yes, it was quite common around that period on some squadrons to replicate the serial just there.

Is that the serial, painted under the prop spanning the Night/White demarcation line? Looks like it might be **798. K9798, perhaps?

This image has just been turned into a superb oil painting, by the way, by octogenarian artist Geoff Stephens!
The dog was called ‘Flash’.
