So, going back to the original photo, the plot thickens. It's almost certainly a two letter code on the nose, so it's either an abbreviated AA-A type one or one of the new-fangled ones. My money is still on the latter, particularly as there is no code visible on the aft fuselage. I still favour MW288/CK of 511 Squadron - that would also fit with the somewhat nondescript nose badge (cf the Luqa photo), and the background (which is certainly too hilly to be Oakington!).
