Does somebody know what colors it had: overall black of something else?
And did it have a thimble nose?

Thank you,
best Michiel

It would have been fitted with AI MK.IV with the arrowhead aerial on the nose.

The AI Mk.VIII in the thimble radome wasn't cleared for use over the continent until 1944.

V8222 & V8324 came off the production line finished overall black and received AI.IV.
