No location was given for this photo but may be RAF Catfoss where it was based with the Central Gunnery School. P7973 was donated to Australia in 1945 and has become part of the Australian War Memorial collection. Its link to Australia is that is was flown by Wing Commander Keith "Bluey" Truscott when he was with 452 (Australian) Squadron based at RAF Kirton-in-Lindsey, England. Truscott was a 16-aircraft ace who flew in both the European and Pacific theatres. Photo from: Imperial War Museums This photo was added on 4 September 2024, and has since been viewed 160 times. |
