Do you know what Squadron it was with? Or a rough time when it may have been on the canopy?

Hi reaper493 I'm sorry but I don't know what squadron or time it was from.
The canopy sill plate has been hanging on my garage wall for a few years and I've just noticed that in a certain light you can see the names underneath the paint so I was going to restore it back if I could fine out about it .
I think it says berry I can make the erry out and what looks like a faint b but could be another letter.

"Raz" Berry spent a lot of time with 41 Sqn - the test sqn - at Coningsby including when it had F3s - he ended up as the boss. Might narrow it down a bit.

Hi, I shot GR4 ZA589 EB-J 41 sqn marks with SL Berry and FLT Wilson at Lossie in October 2011.
Have some nice shots, will try and dig them out.

HTH Iain.

Hi lain
Thank you for providing the photos the bold writing is the same as I can make out under the paint so it looks like that's the air frame .
All I need to do now is restore it back to how it was then.
Thanks again Mark.
