Per request, my cockpit photo ;D It really is a wonderful photo, and beautifully restored by Caz. Here it is in the form of part of a family history scrapbook page I made, but I could post just the photo...the page isn't scanned very high, but the photo is better.

The fellow on the left was my husband's great great uncle. On the right side of the page I had an RCAF crest, an RAF crest, and a pair of poppies between.

Cheers,
China

China,
thank you for sharing the wonderful photo of P/O Humblestone and F/LT Walker. You have obviously researched it too, with loving care.
Thanks for pointing out your Father on the Debert photo.
