Operation Manna?

dook 14th Feb 2019 15:31

No - some time in 1946.

I am fairly certain I've seen it before somewhere - might even have it on my PC at home, but can't check until 9pm.

Have you been editing out registration numbers :)

I want to say that looks like Aries which left RAF Shawbury in 1944. Couple of years out though. Hmmm.

nvubu.

Registration numbers would have helped to give the game away.

They are only partially visible in the original photograph and both begin with G. :)

I think you have already cropped the original quite a lot.

I see water at top left so are we on an island ?

Self loading bear 14th Feb 2019 18:51

Mediterranean Coast
indeed

dook 14th Feb 2019 19:13

Does that mean an island near or on a Mediterranean coast ?

edit: Rhodes ?

Should`ve gone to `Specsavers`....

Not an island It featured (very short) in a novel of Phillip Kerr.
But he has the date wrong as it was probably not yet realised in 1957.

dook 14th Feb 2019 20:23

Is the reference to Specsavers meant for me ?

If so I have clearly missed something.

dook 14th Feb 2019 20:36

The only novel that I can find which might fit the clues is Greeks Bearing Gifts
