The insignia looks wrong for 1942 -- perhaps Battle of Britain?

I have the same caption for this photo.
Also notice the cannons, which were rare during the Bof B.

It's *definitely* a Mk.Vc, the serial number confirms it! The Vb could only
carry one cannon in each wing. The Vc could carry two. Most did only carry
one cannon, in the inboard position. However this aircraft has the cannon
fitted in the outboard position. It is possible that the inboard position
holds a Browning .303 machine gun, with the two outer Brownings in each wing
removed. This armament fit was used in Malta and is somewhat similar to the
much later e-type wing.

It's difficult to tell, but the serial is looks like BR13? In that case,
this aircraft is either BR131 or BR133.
