The only photograph that I know of is of a line-up of 253 Squadron Hurricane IIBs in overall RMD2 Special Night, Hilbaldstow, late 1941. The first, Z3971 SW*S has the inscription SAMASTMANS II under the exhaust. All the others also have names but I cannot read them. Some may be readable in the original photograph. It is credited to the Imperial War Museum but not ref number is given.

Hi Chris

Sorry about that. I saw it was in night fighter colours and forgot about the mark. Try this link it looks like a print but a very realistic one.

The Imperial War Museum have this photo of a MkIIc. Although it’s in colour it could easily be chaged to b & w, with their permission. Is that of any use?
