These are some of the photos I have just unearthed from fathers papers, the Wellingtons are with 148Sqdn? in the Western Desert of N Africa, and are the aftermath of an attack by the Axis aircraft, not known wether they were German or Italian

the Beaus are undated but I feel could be around 42/43

This very nice looking Brig was supposed to be carrying Jerries(as the writing says) so it was sunk by 272 Sqdn Beaus

These Wellington l were with 148 Sqdn at a base that looks like Kabrit or Kalrit(the words have faded) WD North Africa they are Merlin Powered Wimpeys

This Wellington is a little well used rom a wheels up landing

This picture is called the "Dead Place"

My old man has suggested this could be a Caproni 133 but endorses that with a ? mark, but whatever it has RAF roundels on it this was in the Western Desert about 1941/2


Hope thes interest you.
