Pete and Chris,
Sorry, you're right; it's NOT a crew position, just a missing panel
I DID deface part of the national marking. If it was viewable, I think it would immediately narrow the field too much.

Anybody going to have a crack at the disc picture on 28th August?

That crew position close to the tail is tempting, Pete, but I think this one's closer still; in fact, that's what attracted me to use it. If you need a slightly larger section, I'm happy to oblige.

Either an Iraqi Hawker Fury, or the last flight of Sub-Lieutenant Phillips before joining HMS Troutbridge. (Bumped into him once behind a theatre near Piccadilly)

Thanks for trying, Gentlemen.
Score zero so far.
A further clue....
Perhaps if I put back the bullet-ridden star inside the
double ring of the insignia?

Don’t think so, it doesn’t have the tail strike bump at the bottom...
