WW2 Aircraft ID Please
« on: Thursday 29 June 17 15:15 BST (UK) »
This is a postcard photo of my late Father's taken during the second world war and I would love to be able to put a name to the aircraft.
It's taken me four years to prise my Father's war photos from my Brother's clutches  ::) ;D ;D ;D
Thanks for looking.

To add a little more to Keith's reply.
It is an Anson Mk.I of 502 (Ulster) Squadron, part of Coastal Command, who flew the Anson from Jan 1939 to Oct 1940 from RAF Aldergrove, Belfast on patrols over the North Atlantic.

Carol you are so lucky to have finally got those photos off your brother. When my father passed away in 1976 two of his service photograph albums went missing, never to be seen again. Treasure them  :D

Aw...how disappointing :-\ I would be gutted. These are so precious. My Brother got everything war related which is fine, but he was a bit shy at loaning them to me but now I also have copies of 14 photos of crew members from the HMS Victory in 1941.

The British Legion have a monthly magazine, perhaps you could write a small article for them with a few photographs  :)
