I thought that these photos might be appropriate as they were taken in 1925 during the Syria-Jordan border marking carried out by the RAF under GP Capt Brabazon-Rees VC and the French military. These were all taken by a Corporal Jack Weston and gifted to me many years ago. Brabazon-Rees is on the left of the tea pot.

Gerald Wasley’s history of RAF Mountbatten has several pages on Lawrence’s time in the RAF in Plymouth…a curious posting for a well -connected misfit who it seems just did what he wanted to whilst there and was a pain for the career officers in charge.
