Dear all
A friend has just posted his father’s wartime picks on flickr. Can you add anything to the photographs? This one is a good start:
The rest in the series, including high-jinks in a Blenheim:

152 Squadron Spitfire MkVIII based at Sinthe, central Burma. Almost certainly following a raid from the Japs on the 14th February 1945. The Squadron suffered 9 KIA and 30+ WIA and several destroyed and damaged aircraft.
113 Squadron(http://113squadron.com/) never visited Sinthe, the only connections I can see is that thay were at the same airfields Palel, may 1944 – July 1944 & Zayatkwin, Aug 1945 – Sept 1945. I understand the Japs sneaked in to dispersal area of the squadrons while at Palel and planted sticky bombs on 7 aircraft destroying them. So maybe this is the result of that attack.
Cheers
Rob….
