I can tell you exactly how and from where that picture got there - me!

It used to hang in the officers mess at RAF North Front (Gib). It is signed by several members of Dams raid.

I was staying on the Sunborn and it was given to me by an old boy who was night security there. Ex RAF.

At the same time, the owners of that pub near Chequers were staying there also. We got drinking and talking. Turns out that the pub is an RAF pub so I donated it to them for safe keeping with instructions to keep it out of the sun to stop it fading.

I hope that answers your question!
