Does the "VN" mean anything to the aircraft or was it something personal. I don't recall seeing it before

Great question. It's right next to the ID placard so I wonder if it signified a mod or repair?

Odd, when I posted this it was the same size as John's(I copy/pasted it). Now it's shrunk. I noticed this on several photos in various threads a few days ago as well and now they are back to original size. Odd

I thought it was just me. Something is going on there.

I've noticed it to, first seen in the Quokes & Jokes threads. However, click on the reduced image, and it then shows at original size.

Not sure what the 'VN' is, although I think I've seen it somewhere before, maybe on a different aircraft type. Possibly indicates a mod or up-date.

Is that an exhaust cover, the sort used by night fighters?
