I was recently going through my grandfather's old photo album when I came across this photograph. Here is all I know of it:

1. It was taken in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon)

2. The ten men in the photo belong to an 'R.A.F. Football Team' (which I know thanks to my grandfather's caption)

3. It may have been taken during or after the war (most likely before 1948). 

I have no relation to these men whatsoever but would like someone to identify them for me -- just out of plain curiosity. Also, this photo could be of use to anyone out there searching for a photograph of a lost relative. I would be more than glad to be of help.

My name is Wim Rhebergen and I am a Dutch war historian and author.  I was born in the town of Aalten, the Netherlands which is just 3 km away from the German border.

I recently ordered a 35 mm film from the Imperial War Museum.  It is a day attack on 26 March 1945 by a Hawker Typhoon 1B of No. 124 Wing RAF, 182 Squadron on the villages of Aalten and Winterswijk filmed by on board cameras.  The camera plane was piloted by Warrant Officer S.L.T. Brett, service number 1385571.  At the time 182 Squadron was based at Helmond Airfield (B.86) in the south of Holland.   From 12-5-1944 until 30-4-1946 the squadron was a Rocket Projectile unit equipped with the Hawker Typhoon.

I already have copies from the Operations Record Book 182 Squadron RAF, 1 until 31 March 1945.

So on the 26th of March 1945 W/O S.L.T. Brett has attacked my birthplace AALTEN and some other villages nearby; "Armed Recce Aalten, Borken, Bocholt" Borken and Bocholt are towns in Germany.  According to ORB, other pilots involved were Flight Lieutenant Lloyd, Flight Lieutenant Hobbs, Flight Lieutenant White, Flight Lieutenant Sharp and Flying Officer Jackson.  The ORB says that "the attacks were made as a warning to the Dutch to move out before the two places were bombed".

I am trying to get more information about this particular mission on 26-3-1945 and the pilot Warrant Officer S.L.T. Brett 1385571.  Perhaps he's still alive. If so, I want to track him down.

I am desperately searching for help.

Does anyone know where I probably can find more information about him and a picture?

He was crashed above the South West of the Netherlands early in July 1940 together with others.

The pilot Ivor Worthington Wilmer was also found in the vicinety of Oostvoorne near Rozenburg ZH where I live.About 10 km from Oostvoorne near Rozenburg ZH Now I also know that this crash was somewhere not noted in some archives in the UK maybe.

Thanks to the help of  a relative in Australia I could still an only find an uncle of Ivor in Canada.

So I am very thankfull that I solved this loss.

Now his co-pilot or RAF man in the plane was as above mentioned.

I really like to know if there is still any family living of George Edwin Maydon in the Uk or somewhere else because maybe they do not know where their beloved ones are burried.

I sincerely hope that you can help me with this tragic story.

So that I can take the pieces together and give the left family their rest and knowledge of the place where he is burried as a victim of WW2.

I would really appreciate your help to solve this question.

I'm reasonably sure that my dad did not know either of the individuals, having been born in 1938,  however would be interested to know if SL Robertson ( I do hope that this is the correct designation)  survived the war and whether his family would like the book returned.

You may be aware of this story; BBC News - WWII pigeon message stumps GCHQ decoders (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20456782).

I am (in my opinion, at least) an expert in encryption and am attempting to piece together enough information to decipher this message. It is believed to have been sent by RAF pilots, after they were shot down during WWII, with details of their location back to Bomber Command (XO2), around 1942, and possibly from 110 Squadron.

If I can understand what type of encryption was used by the RAF pilots, I will have a chance. I can not find any information as to whether they used code books or portable TypeX cipher machines, or both. I know the code books will have certainly been destroyed, but just knowing the method of encryption should be enough to have a chance, or a least know for certain that it will be impossible.

If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

My question: I am trying to find a photograph of the Pilot on the night in question. My father in law I have just learnt was his second Pilot.  The Pilot and training Officer was Flying Officer Stanely Henry Martin OBE who on retirement was a Wing Commander.  What I have researched and found about Stanley Martin was he was born 9th November 1919 and had a wonderful career in the Air Force retiring on 2nd June 1968.  Stanley received an OBE in 1966
