Marcel, yes the picture is owned by myself, it came from my late grandfather who served in the R.A.F from 1942, however he joined after the aircraft was lost, how he came by it will always remain a mystery.

Hello Andrew I am Michael Prendergast chief History researcher at RAF Benson where W4056 flew from originally.
Can you tell me if this is the only photo your Grand Father had and if he was ever at RAF Benson at any time.
