thankyou for so many informative replies especially providing some references as well
The Caproni 311 is a lovely looking aircraft, I think the twin on the left is a Wellington, Pagen thanks for thePathe link i will have a look at this and see it if I can spot him, I have some contemporary photos of him in uniform so I have an idea of what he may look like.
I must admit I thought Hudson as well, but happy to be directed the right way on this one as well
The Gotha 242 intreagues me as well to the manner in which it has been dug in, it does look like an entrance to the front. Unfortunately no markings at all that I can find looking through a loupe on the original so no idea if it did end up in the Uk, I have attached some views of the 109’s that I assume are in the background, the caption indicates that these were taken at LG.104
longshot, I cannot find any reference to BAw on any of the Wellingtons i’m afraid
Don thanks for the corect spelling, I have trouble reading the writing and I guess he may have been writing it phonetically but interesting that the station is still used by the Egyptian Forces
I attach a couple of more photos that I hope have some interest, a couple of 109’s from LG.104,
I think that this is a Beaufort but the intake above the engine looks enlarged, was this a Desert modification? The first two letters of the Serial looks like they have been stencilled ontop of a repainted square?
Finally a Wellington of 38 Squadron, HX366 “Godamit”
thanks,
Bert
