You all helped me somuch on the last picture I posted that I thought I would try another, a little older this time.
The attached picture is believed to have been taken at Pomigliano in Italy on 10 Oct 1944 according to my father's diary. Apparently the Stirlings were not based there just passing through and caused a bit of a stir at the time. Practically the whole camp came out to watch them arrive as most of his squadron had been overseas for many years and never seen such a large aircraft.
Any thoughts as the unit they belonged to, or where they were going, or come from?
