You're Top Poster: #2   | Interesting, I thought 3 Sqn was a Hurri/Tiffie/Tempest squadron. Ahhh, the second pic is probably not related to the first. Can't quite make oout the a/c in the background.

You're Top Poster: #1  | 3 ITW was 3 Initial Training Wing (Aircrew Training Scheme) based in Torquay. It would explain the aircrew in the second picture. I have a feeling that "3 Squadron" refers to the class or something because if the photo was taken there then it's too early for them to have been assigned a squadron.

You're Top Poster: #2 | Hit the nail on the head as usual, I suspect, Kyt.
