2 pictures obviously taken at the same time but different, of 122 Wing - Early Dec55 (Date estimated from Tom Prickett who handed over to Sid Hughes on 1Dec55, Dougie Adamson and his predecessor John Smith-Carington both on the photograph and they handed over 98 in Dec55 and Norman Buddin who did not take over 118 until Jan56 but is on this photograph.   Looks like a rainy day on the back patio of the Officers' Mess so I guess it was a farewell photograph for the end of Tom Prickett's period as Station Comander.   Can anyone identify more names or have a dated version of this photo?
