Hello Danny (#9935)
Thanks for that - Arthur was in "B" flight at this time, so this is presumably B flight O.C. S/Ldr Joel, who must be one of the gentlemen in the front row. W/Cdr Saunders was C/O so is likely there as well. Next move was to Kolar and then Yelahanka, when he joined "A" flight O.C. S/Ldr Sutherland DFC. Joel was later acting C/O after the loss of Saunders and Sutherland. He logged his last flight in a Vengeance in December '44 and first in a Mosquito in Feb '45, then to 1672 CU also at Yelahanka.
The album also has a photo taken during a mountain climb - survival training? Looks like it was pretty arduous, some of the men look distinctly "browned off."
