I love it! Cool shot indeed. I particularly like the fact that the mascot is running out to the planes with 'em. :D

Is that the same shot used on the BoB volume of the Time/Life series books?

What would those late Mark Spits been scrambling for? Certainly pretty late in the war...

Maybe it was beer call at the home pub!!

The dog was problably smart enough to go back to the hut and wait in the warmth.

Love the days of grass strips and mass launches.

I'd even venture to suggest post-war...... Look like 18's to me....??

Definately a staged photo...... or maybe the 5th Anniversary of BofB in Sept '45 when Bader led mass flypast over London perhaps....??

I'm sure PeterA will know..... :D
