Two days ago @11145 I posted a random photo from the shoe box marked 'my dad's easy war pics' and announced that the photo was taken in Italy in 1944.
Today I visited the naval8/208 squadron association website and discovered that a chap called Porrit has posted pics of his dad whilst serving on the same squadron at the same time and place.
One the photos (which in fact is only the left half of it), shows his dad standing next to a Spitfire MK 9 propellor holding his cap and standing in his wellies.

Hmm I thought, I am sure that the full original of that one is in the shoe box.
