Re: Which stories behind these photos?
The first of the new photos you have attached is a Spitfire Mk VC of 92 Sqn in the Western Desert. The Sqn had still used QJ code letters since 1940. The Sqn arrived in the Middle East in April 1942 but only got the Mk VC in August 1942 so the photo dates from then onwards.
The second photo looks like a VC aircraft from the same Sqn though its hard to read the codes. The QJ appears to be in the same place as before with the Q over the door.
Looking at the terrain I would say that this was taken in the deserts of Egypt or Libya in 1942 before the Axis retreated to Tunisia
