Picture of a Flt from July to Sept 1953

Thanks to Malcolm Grainge 2598845 for this photograph of his Flt from July to Sept 1953.

Malcolm says "Sadly I cannot recall the flight number but my period of service there was from early July 1953 (I got my call up papers on my 21st birthday) until early September '53 and was then posted to RAF Edzell in Scotland and am in touch still with several old friends from those days.
Sadly although many of the faces in the flight photo I recall clearly, there are only a couple whose names I remember. Roy Bell from Southampton is on the back row, extreme left. I am 6th from left, back row. Dave (Curly) Hooper from London is seated in the 4th row down, 5th from left wearing heavy spectacles. We became good friends because he had a 1000cc Vincert motor cycle and was allowed to bring it with him for the second part of our time at Bridgnorth."
