Would any body be able to give me any info at all on this photo please? I have no idea who anybody is in this photo.

Thank you.

The cap badges are not particularly clear but all look  like Royal Engineers, except the chap third from  right in the front row who is wearing a different badge.

A squad of Royal Air Force recruits with their corporal squad instructor - note the RAF eagle at the top of their sleeves.
The 3rd from right man has bent his beret over the top of his badge.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Thank you both for the very quick answers.

Could either if you pin it down to a year? There are signatures on the back but nobody recognises any names but if it would help get more info I could put the back up too.

Would a clearer photo help?

A clearer photo would only help on the off chance someone recognises someone.  I'd date it about late 1950s or 60s.

Thank you. I'll do that when I can scan a better quality image of it on the computer.
