See my previous post for discussion of the unit.

Assuming the reports that the Wellington was based at Swinderby are correct, the only unit operating Wellingtons there in 1950 was 201 Advanced Flying School (formerly 201 Conversion Training Unit and, before that, 17 Operational Training Unit).

As you're in West London, you're ideally placed to call in at Kew and look at the unit's ORB, which will almost certainly identify the aircraft involved.
