Sturmbvogel, the Mosquito with "JONA" down the side is most likely to be marked as "J" "NA" with the white centre blue roundel forming the "O".

This was a silver doped UK built FBVI, serial number A52-525, (ex-HR505) serving in Australia with 1 squadron RAAF, carrying 'black" unit codes "NA" and aircraft code "J". (and blue/white roundel)

Delivered in January 1945, it was converted to components in October 1946.

(see photo page 140, Beaufort, Beaufighter and Mosquito in Australian Service, Stewart Wilson 1990 Aerospace Publications)
