RAF York Squadrons.

Looking through an old copy of "Aeroplane" it identifies a number of York codes,

51 Sqd, MW271, TB-X to 242 Sqd, KY-P
242 Sqd, MW232, KY-M to 511 Sqd, as "AJ"
242 Sqd, MW105, KY-T to 1332 Sqd (Heavy Transport Conversion Unit), YY-A
? Sqd, MW302, "AK"

A feature on many of the aircraft is two white letters on a black background on the nose. The first letter identifying the squadron and the second the aircraft eg KY-M would become KM.
