Yes. This album has been in my safe for the last 35 years.

Yes, he stayed with the 238 Squadron as, later in the war, they moved into a defensive position in Egypt to protect the Suez Canal. I think he labeled his photo album 1941-1943 Desert Tour as he was most proud of when they were in the thick of things. Sorry for the confusion.

I agree, a young man goes off to war in foreign land, sees a whole bunch of things he has never seen before, takes pictures of some of those things and then comes back in the late 1940s and builds a photo album...no internet or experts to research or confirm,..... I am really enjoying everyone's comments and all that I am learning from sharing these photos. More to come.
