RAF Photographers at War - WW2

Four images of RAF photographers working with reconnaissance films during WW2.

The drying drum was still being used in the 1970's when I joined the RAF.

Great to see "invisible" people which was important for every operation!!!  Is some of this people your friend?

Some more images, the last one is a NAAFI (Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes) mobile canteen, driven out to the airfield so the workers can get a cup of tea. Date 1941

To me the RAF is not just about the pilots, don't get me wrong, they do an excellent job, but the workers that keep the planes flying and in my case the teams of photographers that produced the film so intelligence can be obtained from reconnaissance mission.
