Hi Ivo,

without provenance it would be hard to know the source of the photograph. It could be a copy that your man obtained without having been involved or at the location. The personnel in the photo may not even be air force.

Upon lightening up the photo, two vehicles can be seen in the background between the aircraft and the trees. The front vehicle may be an M3 half-track while the rear vehicle appears to be a truck. Although speculative and hard to tell, it may be the canvas cover of another truck in the background, just forward of the aircraft canopy. Thus, could the personnel be part of a convoy that had either stopped or reached a destination (airfield)?

Cheers

Rod
