Notes:

Rare photo taken at RAF Wellesbourne in 1941/2 by my late father Gordon Curtis. Unit is unknown, but Wellington is believed to be LM362. Scan taken from an old Dufay Colour - an early form of transparency. Apologies for the quality, it had lain in storage for over 50 years.

This is great quality. Bear in mind that it was taken in 1941 ! This is such a contrast to some B/W pictures. Now the scene comes more alive.
