Re: Photo needed of Air Commodore John Cecil Wright

Hello,

You will find a photograph of the then Group Captain Allan Cecil Wright, in the following publication:

"We Never Slept" The Story of No.605 (County of Warwick) Squadron Royal Auxiliary Air Force 1926 - 1957.
Piper,Ian.
Kingsbury:Author,1997 (rep.).
p.187.

The caption reads:

Dinner at the Dorchester Hotel to celebrate 100th enemy aircraft destroyed - 15 April 1944 (L-R) F/O Les Williams, W/Cdr Sammy Hoare (with silver replica of his & Bob Muir's Mosquito), G/Cpt Alan [sic] Cecil Wright and A/Cdr Sir Lindsay Everard (605 Hon. Air/Cdr).

Can't provide a scan, maybe others can help.
