That is a seriously sun-damaged paint job.

Or is it the photograph itself? The trees in the background seem a
reasonable colour.



That's the colour the Irish Air Corps used. The aircraft was restored a
few years ago and flew in that scheme for a while. AFAIK it's now back
in RAF camouflage.

That is correct. It carries a squadron code of IQV for 19 Squadron,
which was based at RAF Duxford during the Battle of Britain. Here's a
picture of it and a Merlin engined chum at Weston-super-Mare earlier
this year.



PS: It is described as Mk TR9.
