And I'll go with 155 Squadron, Alipore, October or November 1942.

Status: offline 		The info I got was closest to Dixie's answer, but labelled January '43..(5 or 155 RAF squadron, but the Indian AF also had them..

IMHO WITP users tend to not like them and prefer to retire them early, whereas the did shoulder on till later in the war and were very useful ground support and interception role against Nate's and the like..

This one was ser#BB977..

That shot really looks like it's from the set of a movie, on a sound stage.

Most of the RAF pilots that flew them quite liked them and felt that the Mohawk could out-turn an Oscar if they kept their speed up. Obviously the RAF didn't rate the type else they never would have ended up in India

Apparently it was used in the training role.
