I bought FlyPast for the first time in years, principally to read the VV article and hopefully to see if you were mentioned.

What a bonus, there you are! I imagine the photograph must have brought back many memories for you, happy ones I hope!

I scanned the photo with a magnifying glass to see if a young "Jolly" Jack Huntington was there, not with much hope as you have said in a previous post that you could not recall the name. The closest resemblance is the young man kneeling at extreme left of the front row. Chugalug knew Jack too in his Hercules days and also I guess on the Hastings, I wonder if he has had a dekko at the photo?

According to the author of 'Flat out', the 30 Sqn history, Jack served on the Arakan front and flew both VVs and Spitfires. As I recalled once before, he showed me a photo of himself ' As a handsome young bastard ' ( His words ) in front IIRC of a Spitfire.
