Interesting photo, though I can't see any reference in the article as to which squadron the support aircraft was with at the time (MW234 served with 35, 24, 511, 206 and 511 again before being sold to Aéronavale), and I'm not sure the nose badge helps much either.

Here's a photo of 47 Group (i.e. 511 Squadron) Yorks at Luqa - the second aircraft (in camouflage) looks very similar to the one in the OP's photo, including the black nose which would have had a two-letter "C_" code:

Incidentally, MW288 served with 511 Squadron at one stage, and wore the code "CK", so that may be a candidate for the OP's photo.
