It's interesting that there were two aircraft carrying these markings,
albeit with different serial numbers, my picture being of ZA947 which is
a modern RAF serial number. I mentioned the number to the navigator who
told me that the original serial number it used was KG661, but on
refurbishment it was discovered that that number related to an aircraft
that had crashed killing all on board, hence the change to an unused
modern one.

FZ692 survived the war and is still flying with Environment Canada
wearing the civilian registration C-GRSB, which again is explained in
the link.
