Here we see D Flight of No.2 Squadron, 17 Initial Training Wing, in August 1942. 17 I.T.W. was based at Scarborough from 1941 to 1944, and was used for one of the earliest stating in RAF training.
Many thanks to Jennifer Deane for sending us these pictures. Her father Corporal Kenneth Briggs is sitting to the right of the AWO (without the belt) in the picture
