Moments of Rest – The Irvin Squadron with de Havilland Mosquito

Two members of The Irvin Squadron depicted in a quiet interlude beneath the wing and undercarriage of a de Havilland Mosquito at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre. One airman checks his uniform while another reads a wartime Daily Sketch with headlines on the Battle of Britain. The image captures both the detail of RAF ground life and the historical atmosphere of a 1940s airfield.
