A Sherman IC Firefly of the 11th Armoured Division and other vehicles in the square of Putanges on 20 August 1944. The photo was taken from a window in the town hall. The other vehicles probably belonged to the 159th Infantry Brigade.

Sgtt Griggs of 214 Squadron, points to minor damage to his Stirling after crash-landing at Stradishall, 28 June 1942. The aircraft was damaged by flak and fighters after attacking Bremen. The minor damage is referring to the hole he is pointing at not the crash landing 
Sgt Frank Morton Griggs and members of his crew were each awarded the DFM for their actions during this mission which saw 3 enemy aircraft shot down. Griggs was later awarded the DFC while serving with 109 Sqn; and a Bar to his DFC while serving in Malaya.

A crew preparing for a night sortie in November 1941. Note the parachutes and map bags on the ground, and the thermos flask- an essential item of personal kit for a seven-hour flight on a draughty Whitley.
