pzu,
Thanks for the picture. Of course I only met 608 Sqdn (and "kept my hand in") flying with them, when they'd been reformed after the war as an Auxiliary Sqdn in Fighter Command. They were flying Vampires III and V, and had a Meteor T7 for I/F training and rating tests. There their Training Officer was F/O "Mike" Beavis, who was to retire as ACM Sir Michael Beavis.
Nice idea to have the aircrew plus groundcrew (and a couple of armourers ?) in shot. It was a mystery to me how a Mossie could carry a 4000 lb "cookie" to Berlin (as much, IIRC) as a B-17 "Fortress" over the distance.
Truly, the "Wooden Wonder" ! (this one had seen some service, too, judging by the bomb "tally").
Danny.
