Nice photo from RAF East Wretham, wartime home of the 359FG:

But the question is, what have the chairs been built from?

Closeup of the stencilling if it helps anyone:

All the best,

Looks like parts to a shipping crate to me.

Shipping crate to the 75 gal aux tanks????

I was thinking it was packaging of some type, but all the sections look to be identical and I can't figure out how they would fit together to make a sensibly-shaped crate. Having the FWD arrow on them just adds to the confusion.

Not the whole crate, but perhaps the dunnage to keep a tapered drop tank straight inside a rectangular crate.

The one stencil says "Belly tank, 70 gallon". Looks like dunnage inside a crate to me also Paul. COOL shot!! :drink3:
