Thanks Sy. That's a great help. There were six aircraft fitted with the Merlin II (according to the RAF Museum) of which four had three-bladed props, Whitley, Battle, Defiant and Henley. The remaining two were the Spit and the Hurricane and your info leaves the Spit by default. But I'd still like a definitive answer for which aircraft drg no Z5324 was intended.
