Hampden crash, North Norfolk 1941

All,
I'm researching a Hampden crash in North Norfolk as I plan to build a model of the aircraft for a mate. He lost his uncle in the crash.
The aircraft went down at Cawston, North Norfolk on 10 Feb 41 whilst operating with 61 squadron, RAF Hemswell. It had ben tasked with raiding Whilhelmshaven in Germany, and was lost attempting a forced landing.
Thus far I've narrowed the airframe number down to P4409, with squadron codes QR.
What I'm trying to ascertain are:
1 The individual code letter allocated, and
2 Whether the camouflage demarcation was high, or low on the fuselage.

Can anyone in the Prunosphere help me with these?

Thanks in advance.
