Is the trade patch he's wearing a mechanic patch?

Might also be the Blackburn Roc-this was a fighter version of the Skua mounting a power driven turret with 4 Brownings like the Defiant-not successful and most used for training/target tugs-if it is a Skua would be a fairly early war photo as they were not operational all that long.
