As a project to while away the hours of lockdown I started scanning old family photos for distributing to the rest of the family. Just today I came across this photo again. Considering the memories it brings back of many happy times spent at Strathallan airfield I think it's definitely worth a mention here.
My dad, with whom I frequented the airfield, had taken ill and the guys at Strathallan kindly signed this photo as a memento for him.
Signed by Dick Richardson; Duncan Simpson; Capt P.A. MacKenzie DSO DFC; Stan Banfield and David Kemp (both also in the crew of Lancaster KB976 when she crossed the Atlantic to Strathallan); Bernie Sedgwick also ex-BCal and the Collection's engineers - Jim Hutchinson, D. Davidson, David Lawson, Dugald McKillop and D. Barnes.

1944 138 Squadron Log Book, 100% genuine, had tons of research done on it many years ago, when I could afford it!!. sadly to a casualty...
The item I would grab in a fire.... GOD FORBID....
Couple of named uniform items, potentially very interesting, but, as in recent updated tunic post, cannot prove 100% one way or the other.
Spit U/C Indicator??
