Hi Steve,

According to the letters that we begin to see (letters EX), I should say a Stirling of 199 Squadron.
Regards.

I do not think this is a 199 Squadron Stirling as the two letter code starts with an X or Y. If it was a 199 aircraft, as you said it would be EX. If it is 1651 CU, it may be YZ. It may even be a 1657 CU aircraft with a code of XT with the aircraft letter of E or F.

Best wishes

Douglas
