RAF Handley Page Hastings.   John Hill says he thinks this was taken during the Anglo German Week - which would be 19Jun57 when the first one was held.   John recounts: "A meeting was called in the airmen's mess prior to commencement of celebrations where the Station Commander Gp. Captain S.W.R.Hughes warned us all, that if there was any trouble during the week we would get the blame irrespective of who actually caused the bother!   A very tall coloured chap rashly reminded the Group Captain of our rights!!!   The reply, not surprisingly, reminded us that as hired assassins we did not have any rights!   I can laugh at it now but as an eighteen year old it was over my head.
(Thanks to John Hill.)
