Summary

[edit]
Description

I great shot from one flying boat looking out over a flight of at least six others. The type of plane is unknown, and also the location. Could it be somewhere like Southampton?

This image is actually a medium format transparency that is actually a picture of a print pinned to a piece of wood.

A further taster from a batch of WWII images I acquired this week (200+ medium format transparencies and negatives). The batch contains a fairly random selection of images covering all three armed services and seemingly spread from Europe to Africa/Middle East. Watch this space for some wonderful aerial shots, images of planes and ships, and soldiers from all sorts of backgrounds and in various locations.
