Hello, can anybody identify the Sqadron? The photo was taken in Germany summer 1945. Thanks, Roger

Here’s the photo

It kind of looks like 320S Squadron. The "S" in squadron and the last character in the number sequence both seem to match.

Changed to negative form , it could be a 5 or possibly an S .

Thank you both. 320S was based at Achmer just after the war. I also have a photo from the sane vet that shows a hangar and tower. I’ll compare it with photos from Achmer.

I couldn’t find a matching hangar/tower in photos of Achmer. I wonder if it said S20S, but that wouldn’t make sense, would it?

5206 (or 8) Squadron? Both were airfield construction units active in NW Europe.

Shame its such a poor image.

That may be a good lead. There are no British aircraft in the photos, but trucks. May well be a construction unit. Do you know where these two units were stationed after the end of the war?
