Squadron & Group photographs
I’m not fully conversant with the pictures that you’re referring to and I certainly wasn’t aware of the ‘multiple participants’ but I will have a more detailed look the next time I visit. That said stories like this are brilliant as they bring even the simplest of objects to life and in so doing enhance the importance of the object.
I have spoken with the museum’s Curator and he has provided me with the following additional information about the three specific pictures that you referred to; these were of, and taken at:
107 Squadron, RAF Hemswell *** please see revised details of post #319
83 Squadron, RAF Scampton
HQ 5 Group at Grantham
He also advised that there were two other similar pictures displayed in the same building:
50 Squadron, RAF Lindholme
106 Squadron, RAF Coningsby
As you indicated sadly none of these pictures have names on them. However there are two smaller group type photographs on display, which both have nearly full sets of names. One is of a training course at RAF Tollerton and the other is a rare colour photograph of a group of armourers pictured in the bomb dump at RAF Winthorpe.
