Snoopy Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) HelloI wonder if it is possible to identify the RAF officer in the picture. The photo that i have posted, is a close up of the officer, so the original is larger. The photo shows this officer, and other people, inspecting bomb damage, to a city street. The officer, and a man possibly in RN uniform, are the only ones in uniform. I found the photo, at a car boot sale, along with other home front photo's.
