Had an amazing find over the weekend – my girlfriend’s grandfather’s RAF photo albums. He was stationed in Singapore and India with 60(B) squadron pre-WWII and in Malta during the conflict.
From what I’ve seen so far there are some awesome pictures. Westland Wapitis, Vickers Valencias, Hawker Horsleys and all manner of flying boats – Southamptons, Singapores.
There are some pictures of German bomb damage at Luqa in Malta which caught my eye too.
I don’t have access to a scanner at the moment, but as soon as I do I’ll post em up here. Fascinating stuff.

Might be a month or so before I get them scanned – the owners are very keen to get them put onto computer though. The albums themselves are somewhat tatty and damaged, but nonetheless beautiful and hand annotated.

Dan,
please scan in as soon as you can.
Looking forward to them.
