Thanks Ewan,i've only just started going through them. There should be more. I'm glad my Mum bothered to write on the backs some years ago otherwise i'd have no memory jogs or info. Stewy S

Hi Stewy, I always enjoy seeing family photos.

I don't recognise the uniform your Nan is wearing, but I am thinking it might be NAAFI? Am I right in that? Her sister in law is a RAF Nurse.

Your Mum making notes on the back of the photos was a great move. So many times family photos become unknown once a generation passes on.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade,yes she was a NAAFI. I used to wonder why my Mum bothered buggering about like that. But i'm glad she did in hindsight. Thanks for comments guys,i may bore you with more soon. But they'll be Afrika & India pics. Stewy S

Long story on that one. My Dad got his Dad (the one in the pics) to sell it for him with the w/proofs. So he & Mum could get married (Sept '50). And my Grandad sold it to a bloke in the pub for next to nothing. My old man could've strangled him! I dread to think what one would fetch now. I've got other pics somewhere,my Dad had the tank done of the "Indian" logo done on the tank. As i trawl through the pics,i'll post 'em. Stewy S
