56 Sqn July (?) 1940



The Pilot on the far right is Peter Robinson, who joined 56 Sqn in late July 1940, and was killed on 17 June 1941. The picture belongs to a great friend, F/Sgt Robinson's nephew. I'm intrigued by the black/white underwing camo, which I thought was replaced by duck-egg blue straight after the Battle of France. I wondered if any of you wise wizards could confirm that this is 56 Sqn, and hazard a guess at when the photo was taken. It's possible that it is at an OCU prior to Squadron deployment.

Also, any other names to faces would be fascinating. Thanks for any help - and apologies if the picture is over-size; I'm not sure how to correct that...
