Hi Laura,

I must admit it is a realy beautfull 103 Sqdn group Photograph. Send the pic to David W.Fell(dwfellETblueyonder.co.uk ). He is the 103/576 Sqdn historican and I am sure he can help you. Meantime I have download the pic aswell and send it to former 103 Sqdn members who served in 1942 see if they can help you out.

Cheers,
Adrian

Laura, in case you missed it, the website photos are from the Elsham Wolds Association, which is where 103 was based. It look's an early series 1 (in my opinion) still with a front turret, and in almost factory fresh condition. No sign of an aircraft leter on the nose, but would have had PM as Squadron code.

I don't recall seeing a blister on the starboard side before, as the pilot was on the other side, so not very convenient for him to put his head into to get better view! Now, everyone else will say, "Of course, always been there" -and name the dog!!
