The picture below is for sale on Friday in the local auction house. It is so unusual that I will have a good go at winning it. John.

Nice one, go for it!

The are RAF Nurses of the Princess Mary's Royal Air Force Nursing Service. You can just see a collar dog worn by the girl at the front.

A lot of these girls flew in medivac "Dakotas" hence the need for Parachute training.

Cheers, Ade.

as a matter of interest, the photo is of the post war period. the Dak in the background is in " natural metal finish ". you can also see the RAF fin flash.

P.S if anybody nitpicks, ok, silver paint finish overall

You are spot on, I went back today and had a good look at all the pics. on offer. On the back of the nurses one is the date 1946 and a write up in Spanish. All the various lots of pictures are from an Argentine photo agency. John.
