Photo taken by my father Algy Spurr in WW2. Martin Marauder Mk, II 'N' taxis on desert matting but not sure where this was taken. Fantastic to see the front gunner and pilot in this shot. Possibly from a South African Air Force unit?

Photo taken by my father Algy Spurr circa Sep / Oct 1942 in WW2. This could be at Beirut, Lebanon. Lockheed Model 10-A Electra "Cloudy Joe" was RAF AX701 (former Aeroput YU-SBB). It was involved in Operation Pike to photograph the Iraq oil fields. The Electra served with 267 Sq in 1941-42, then with 680(PR) Sq in 1943-44 and suffered a main gear collapse on landing at Matariya, Egypt on 25 Aug 1944 during a test flight. It was withdrawn from use and eventually struck off charge on 22 Feb 1945.

Taken by my father Algernon Spurr circa 1944 - Baltimore V - FW332 - R Redwing 232 Wing - base was possibly Cecina, Tuscany, Italy. This aircraft seems to have done many missions. Flown by 13 Sqn RAF, with red/yellow wheel cover (and triangle red/yellow emblem on tail, hidden on this photo by the wing).

One of 40 conversion from Hurricane Mk.I to Mk.II standards by Rolls Royce. This is former Hurricane I L1658. Photo taken by my father (Algy Spurr) in WW2. Believed to be at Beirut but it is not a certainty. Hurricane is from No. 2 P.R.U. (Photographic Reconnaissance Unit) of the Royal Air Force.

The caption says this photo was taken at Touconnerie but I cannot find that place? I have assumed the model and the photo date (it was taken in WW2) by my father Algernon Spurr. Also the serial may have one digit obscured, any info appreciated.
