Got a couple nifty photos in today - both sourced from a 456 RAAF Beaufighter
crewman. One is of great interest to me as it shows four members of the unit -
a 2-man flight crew, an erk, and a jovial sort that is making a show of wearing
a wireless set connecting him to the flightcrew. These people are standing
next to the side of a black-fuselage'd Beaufighter wearing codes RX-A. Can
anyone give me any input on this photo? Its dated July 42 on Velox paper if
you can believe that!

No.456 Sqn were based at RAF Valley, Anglesey (the island off the north-
west corner of Wales) at this time, if that's any help, Gordon.

You may have the following already:

No.456 Sqn - formed 30/06/41 at Valley; detachment at Colerne, near
Bath, in 1943; moved to Middle Wallop, Hampshire, March 1943. Another
Beau in the unit in July 1942 (shortly before the unit traded them in
for Mk.VIs) was Mk.IIF T3370/RX-Z.
